I was grounded a lot, too, but never those monster 2 month deals that some kids received.
My mom wised up and started taking stuff away. That got my attention quickly. By HS, it was pretty simple...if I misbheaved...no car, no money, no going out, etc....consequently, I did not misbehave much in HS.
The longest punishment I received was 2 weeks. My friend and I were about 12 and we started a small bonfire in the garage with newspapers. We are running around it, jumping over it, etc...having a great time.
All of a sudden, the garage door opens and my mom and step-dad drive up from work. I really got it that time...and was grounded.
If it were me today, I have to say, the thought of pulling up to my garage door and seeing a small bonfire inside as the garage door opens would freak me out, too. No wonder they were so pissed.
