Yesterday i stole a bottle of vodka from my local shop, it was a dare from my friends, well i got caught as the shopkeeper knows my parents they called them and not the police, my parents went mad saying stealing is a serious sin and requires a strict and harsh punishment, my parents said that those that steal go to prison, my parents said they dont want me to go to prison so they are going to give me a taste of prison life as my punishment, they have sentenced me to 6 weekends locked in my room, i will not be punished during the week as i have school, this is my punishment timetable
friday 4pm return home from school, locked in my room for the night lights out and bed 9pm
saturday 6am get up after a shower i must put on my uniform, white shirt black skirt
6 30am schoolwork, as i have exams this year i will be set schoolwork to do, i must sit at my desk and complete all schoolwork set including maths, english , french , science,plus other subjects, my 22 year old sister is a teacher ( not at my school ) so she will be setting my schoolwork,
12am unlock followed by 30 minutes exercise in the garden

12 30pm lock up, i am given lunch then locked back into my room,
12 30pm punishment essays, i will be set two four page essays to write per day, including why its wrong to steal, and an essay on unaceptable behavour and punishments,
5pm dinner in room,

May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom

I bet you won't steal another bottle of vodka.

If you tell a child not to touch the metal burn barrel when it is on fire inside, does the child deserve to be burnt with a second degree burn when he touches it?

If you have dogs and they constantly jump up and take food off the counter don't you correct them firmly. Otherwise I'll just continue doing it won't they?

You made the choice to steal a bottle of vodka. Why are you questioning what your parents choose as your punishment, because you gave them the right to do that by breaking the law in the first place.
