my parents were the type that always believed that violence was not the answer so instead of being whipped like i would have preferred, i had to write like 100+ sentences consisting of a sentence that was 5 or more lines long. my mother always made up the sentence and well it was dreadful. i was pratically begging to be spanked instead.

My parents were always very lenient when i did something i shouldnt have. I fi stole something, i had to take it back and make an apology. if i said something bad, i got the good ol' bar of soap. there was a few times i recall that i did something so bad that i had to take whoopings with a switch. i was never really whipped, but it was never out of the question.
Even now, My mom is VERY lenient with my grades. she knows how much i want to go to college, and with the grades i sometimes get, it aint gonna happen. It is more the psychological aspect of it. i know i control my own destiny, and i have to do good to get to college. she also thinks that grounding me from something is not going to accomplish anything.
And it works too.

Some times, like thetribe, i had to write my arm off. i still have the pages i wrote somewhere. she got 12 sheets of paper and put them together. i had to fill them with things pertaining to the "crime". i could not do anything until i had filled up the pages front and back.
