Worst Feeling... hmm...
The worst feeling i have ever encountered in my life...
It was back in Japan i was 11 years old, school is finally out and the report cards are in. All my grades are A's except for one C i have gotten in Literature class, to say the least my father was upset, after several minutes of arguing with him he got really angry handed me a dictionary, some paper, and a pencil and told me to go sit on the stairs and copy the definitions of every word in the Aa - Ac section and stay there until he said otherwise.
Not knowing how long i would be there after finishing the definitions i asked him if i could come off, he said No! you will be sitting there for at least a week. We began another argument and one week turned into 2 weeks. At this point i was finished with every word in the A section and just created cutable toys with the paper i had as something to play with.
Alright let me cut to the chase cause just thinking about this cruel punishment pisses me off, so anyway 2 weeks turned into 8 weeks after my dad caught me off of the stairs one time in my room with my brother (i was only allowed off the stairs to eat and when it was time to sleep). During this 8 week period on the stairs i was absolutely alone, what made this punishment hell was my brother would often invite a bunch of our friends to come to our house and play games, my dad also hosted several parties, and since school was out, i was on the stairs pretty much all day.
The pyschological effect it had : when our friends came over, the stairs are litterally right next to our door and as soon as you opened the door anyone outside could see me, the FAQ was "Hey why is Chris sitting on the stairs?" "You're still sitting on the stairs??" there was no sympathy from anyone except from my mother, the humiliation of your own friends seeing on the stairs several times passing by you on there way to your room to play a game, and several house guests witnessing the same thing.
I wouldn't ever wish for this to happen to anyone, its an experience in my life i will never forget. I've been grounded for 6 months - 1 year to do nothing but sit on the couch in the living room during my middle school - high school years, but not even that compared with 8 weeks of hell on the stairs.
(Sorry for the longer post, reading this thread instantly made me think of the punishment i was given when i was 11 years old)
