How would you suggest that my mother should handle this situation? Should I have been spanked? Should I have received more than one punishment? Did you ever have a situation where you broke rules to become more popular?



I had become friends with one of the popular girls in my grade. Karen was my best friend but neither of us were in the popular crowd. Karen warned me that Stephanie and her friends didn’t have to deal with strict family rules like we did. I started telling my mother that I was going over to Stephanie’s house to do homework and to help her with her schoolwork. Well I was helping Stephanie all right; I was doing her homework. Stupidly I didn’t realize that was the reason for our friendship. Well I also had fun with her but one result was that I spent less time studying and my grades began to slip. For the first time I began holding back on showing test scores to Mama. But when report cards came, I had only one A, four B’s and a ‘C’.

When we walked home that afternoon, Karen and I compared grades. She had five A’s and one B. when I told her what I had she gave a look of sympathy but also one of “I told you so.”

Apparently Mama had her suspicions because as soon as I walked in the house, she demanded to see my report card. I can still recall how much my hand was shaking as I pulled it out of my book bag to give to her. Her face reddened as she scanned the document.

“I think you’d best tell me just what’s been going on the last two months, Louise” she said matter-of-factly.

Knowing I was caught, I started to confess everything. And I began to cry. Mama curtly told me to save my tears; I would soon have plenty of reason to cry. She assured me that the spanking that I would shortly receive for my poor grades, would be just the beginning. “Tonight, you, me and Daddy will discuss other spankings for the lies you told.”

I don’t believe in spanking for poor grades, or in “double jeopardy” where there is more than one spanking for what amounts to the same offense.

I can get behind a spanking for doing Stephanie’s homework and lying about what you were doing over there.

If I was in your mother’s shoes, you would have gotten a lecture on the fact that doing Stephanie’s homework for her isn’t doing her any favors, you would have been banned from Stephanie’s house, and would have been subjected to increased monitoring on grades until they had improved.

I’m can certainly understand the motivation behind wanting to be well-liked. When I was a kid, I was allowed free rein over the neighborhood, but I was never supposed to cross a specific high traffic street. There was another kid who wanted to cross to the neighborhood on the other side. I knew it was not allowed, but I went along with it anyway so I did not seem like a wuss. A friend of my mom’s saw us and reported me to my mom. When I got home I was confronted and confessed. I received a well deserved bottom warming that day.
