Last thursday i had a row with my sister who is 18, because my sister is clastrophobic and hates confined spaces i locked her in her room, i enjoyed her kicking and screaming to be let out, then my friend rang me, i got distracted, forgot about my sister and went out, 6 hours later my mum came home and found my sister locked up, she was crying, she had 2 or 3 panic attacks, missed her driving lesson and a date with her boyfriend, she even had to go to the toilet in a flower pot, my parents went mad and said the punishment must fit the crime, they said i would be spending a whole weekend locked in my room ( last weekend ) when i returned from school friday evening i was escorted to my room, i lost my tv, phone pc etc, after dinner i was locked in for the night, the next morning i was woken at 7am ( part of my punishment ) after a shower and breakfast i was locked in for the rest of the day, as i have exams this year i was set tons of schoolwork to do including, maths, english , french , georgraphy, biology , and science, i was also set three 4 page punishment essays to write one on UNACEPTABLE BEHAVOUR AND PUNISHMENTS, another on THE PURPOSE OF HARSH PUNISHMENT and another on WHY ITS IMPORTANT TO SHOW RESPECT TO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS , i had to eat in my room and was only allowed out to use the bathroom, my parents said what i done to my sister was TOTALLY unacceptable that why a harsh punishment was required, what do you think ? did i deserve to be punished ADVICE PLEASE ? and please be honest ?

Punishment is not supposed to be liked frfr..
Personally I'd rather had yours I enjoy being by myself.. I'll take peace over chaos..I've learned that boredom isn't boredom it is peace..it what ya do with that boredom.. personally I spend my days in the Lord in the Word singing psalms to the Lord..I'm also n artsy person n like my solitude..I used to play guitar all the time but my memory was taken from me..so now art projects I make for my home and psalms are my thing now..

i must admit i did find the punishment tough, when i returned home from school on the friday evening, i was escorted to my room, i was asked to hand over my phone, tv, and pc , after dinner i was locked in my room until morning, my parents woke me up at 7am both saturday and sunday, after a shower i was then locked back into my room, my parents made me spend most of my day at my desk doing schoolwork for my exams later this year, i missed out a lot on that weekend, my friends called for me on the satuday to go bowling, my parents expained to my friends i was not allowed out as i was being punished, my parents said now i know what its like to miss out on things, she was of course talking about my sister missing her driving lesson and her date with her boyfriend, my parents said my punishment was to serve many purposes 1 to deter future wrongdoing 2 to punish 3 to educate and 4 so i can understand what my sister went through, do you agree with this ?

Personally I'd have ya clean n no electronics no phone no friends.I'd have ya be a servant to your sis for three hrs a day for a week..
Imagine that having to serve ya sis making her a meal serving it to her n the cleaning up after her...
Your parents know what they need to do to get through to you.. perhaps they thought some self examination n reflection will help you see..

dont forget i had to write 4 punishment essays while locked up this was to make me reflect on what i had done wrong and why i was being punished, i think i should have only been locked up for one day, dont you, i dont think i deserved to be punished all weekend ?

i HATE writing essays i find it so boring, the problem i have now is because my parents now know how much i HATE being locked in my room, they have warned me if i misbehave in future that will be my punishment, to spend a weekend locked up its HORRIBLE ?

If you aren't claustrophobic, being stuck in a room isn't the same for you both. EPH 6:1 says to obey your parents not giving an exception if they are too strict in your opinion. I'm old now and still have that opinion about my late parents.

Doesn't a room locked from the outside violate the fire code pretty much everywhere? A fire during that time could have been disastrous.

we live in an old victorian house in england all the doors have locks on them that can only be locked or unlocked with a key, to answer your other question i am not really claustrophobic, but i HATED being locked in my room , the thought of not being able to get out was a misreable punishment, as for safety, the key was allways in the lock ( ON THE OUTSIDE ) of the door, i even tried to push the key out the lock with a pen , so it would fall onto a piece of paper which i could then retrive back under my door allowing me to get out, ive seen it in the movies but it didnt work for me ? as for fire safety there was always my parents plus my 2 sisters near by in case of an emergency, plus if ever i needed the bathroom i would knock loudly on my bedroom door and i would then be let out for the bathroom, being escorted to the bathroom then back to my room then hearing my bedroom door SLAM shut then hearing the key turn in the lock CLICK i DONT like this form of punishment it hurts BIG TIME ?
 
NO i really really hate being locked up i dont want this punishment again it was so dull and boring, i dont like having my freedom taken away ?
Then what they wanted to achieved they have..

I hope ya have an amazing day

how can i have an amazing day i am locked in my room, i cant go out, i cant do what i want, i cant go where i want ?
Let me ask.. if ya can't do nothing n your punished? How are you on here? Thought ya parents took away all ya electronics??..

How can ya have an amazing day?! Ponder with the Lord..

Ya know He can make ya laugh in the midst of what one may consider a horrible day♡⁠(⁠Ӧ⁠v⁠Ӧ⁠。⁠)

I'd say write from your heart.. I'm not good with words I actually am learning myself on how to be nice frfr...most people think I am mean because I don't use flowery words I just speak the Truth.. I gotta learn how to deliver the Truth more gently..

Your gonna have to search your heart for the words.. personally I wouldn't know what to write if I had to write because of what I did to my sister..I don't like her ways n what she does..just because we love people don't mean we like what they do ya know? She very worldly n very nasty she thinks she is better then others ya know..always looking down on those who don't have what she does..frfr
I'm almost 60 n still feel the same towards her..
