I'm not sure if some people's answers could have anything to do with bipolar disorder or not. I'm just curious and want to write a blog post about my stories of being punished at school from very young until 12th grade. I know experiences vary by person, where you're from, and when you were in school, though.

I'm in my mid 40s, and have many childhood memories of being sent into the corner, out into the hall, and to the principal's office and "talked to", "given a disciplinary assignment", or in one state even given the "paddle" (hit with a wooden paddle on the butt.)

I remember being the focus of teacher's extreme anger, or once in 4th grade having the teacher violently throw my desk over, throw all the papers out of my cubby and yell at me to "pick them up". I remember having to write "I will not waste paper" fifty times on the black board.

I also had my share of after school detention, and even week end detention once where I had to sweep up leaves.

I was sometimes a naughty young girl and teen. Strangely, I always accepted the above punishments. I always felt like my misdeeds we're worth it. Actually, being sent out into the hall was fun. I'd simply dance down the empty hall having a good time.

I never had kids, so don't know what the school punishments are like now where I grew up.
