What was done to you is Unethical and most likely illegal.
A parent or guardian has a responsibility to provide the basics of life and the safety, health and well-being of a child. This will vary, from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You should have challenged them on legal and Ethical grounds.
Grounding is Unethical, akin to imprisonment. It depends on where you live. As I had stated previously, a parent or guardian has a responsibility for a child's safety, so they could restrict your movements. They are, however, under no legal or Ethical obligation to provide you with transportation (like to a friends house, store, etc.) unless the transportation is necessary and the community would deem it unsafe for you to be on your own.
It can often be a difficult question, as to what are the "necessities of life", especially with our growing reliance on technology.
Being yelled at repeatedly, is verbal abuse, and is Unethical, and in some places illegal.
Now, a parent or guardian can Ethically and legally deprive a child of things, but they must prove ownership and not deprive a child of the necessities of life. Even if they had purchased the item for you previously , that does not give them ownership.
To correct a child's behaviour, it has been proven that a reward system is far more effective, than one of punishment.
Haha, it sounds nice but I didn't know much about law and ethics when I was under 16.
Not to mention, my Father was active duty military and a Gulf War vet. I had a lot of teachers question his discipline methods and when he would talk to them, he'd pull out his "I'm in a military and I'm a vet" card and he was automatically promoted to sainthood status, or the closest one could get to it.
My father was a smooth talking son of a bitch who had everyone convinced that he was a morally sound man, serving his country, with a daughter that had horrible mental and disciplinary problems.
Everyone in his family believes that he was a great Father and that my horrible, evil bitch of a Mom has and always will stand between him and the kids he loves so much and that me and my horrible insolence is the reason why he won't call me or bother to pay me a visit, although he lives just a state away.
Yes, and this is why we need to teach children about law and Ethics. I was fortunate that my mother was a lawyer, and that I was able to read law books.
We should have available, good civil attorneys for children who are experiencing problems similar to yours.
If you know someone in a similar situation, don't go to the police or to the teachers, find a good civil attorney. They will be able to see through the facade.
When I was an older teenager, and was involved in the babysitter mafia, the babysitters (who were about 13 at the time) had lawyers advising them, free of charge.
this was my punishment
