Just a bit of background SlusserJon and I go to highschool together

So, after returning from thanksgiving vacation, Slusserjon has been grounded. From EVERYTHING.

His phone.
His Ipod
His computer got DONATED to goodwill
He got removed from the soccer team at our highschool
He cant do anything with friends

Yes, I know people have high standards for their kids on grades, but you need to talk to your kids before freaking out.

The main reason I posted this thread is because unless something crazy happens he will not be able to play css/tf2/l4d check emails or anything at his own house. I am sad for Jon, and wish I could help him buy it back, but don't know any ways to get money :(
 
Its called foolish parents who cannot control how they react to life. They are the ones that need to grow up. Also realize that controlling behavior towards children will lead to the children hating them for the rest of their lives.
 
My daughter had a few grades slip this last report card. So She cannot do anything on a school night. If her homework is done early, or she doesn't have any, she has to be home by 6pm on school nights.

So, I told her she can't do anything on school nights, but actually she could for a little while if she gets her work done early. These parents aren't sure what to do, so they panic and release the hounds on their kid. I have taken her notebook away for 1 week once, but because she lied to me. I felt like that was a pretty harsh punishment, especially since all the time teenagers spend on the computer :P
 
They release because they dont trust us. I am more than capable of handling my grades, and sometimes I make a slip here or there. You inflicting punishment so harsh is only going to stress me and make it harder, while if you did what sniper there said and limit it I wont be in so much trouble.

I know exactly what's that like.

One D and they got rid of his computer? That's a bit much. That's just wasting money (Not litterally, because it went to someone, but they'll probably want that back some day...)

Also, a computer is a valuable tool when it comes to schoolwork, eh.
 
Ya i agree with hoodie when a bad situation happens we should stay calm and think it through NEVER act irrationally .
 
I can understand grounding him from his computer...
I can understand removing it from his room, or putting it up or something like that..

But donating a multi-hundred dollar (and in some case +thousand) electronics device, for something that is ultimately going to be temporary seems really... overboard.
