@imogen1234,
Although I agree with the beginning of detention should start in silence and adjustment of personal appearance, I disagree the remainder of the time should be spent on writing an essay about behavior deemed inappropriate. Nor do I feel you should get a jumpstart on homework. Detention shouldn't allow you to think your classroom time can be blown off.
I think certain discipline methods are quite closed minded and yes, boring. If writing essays about poor behavior actually worked, you wouldn't be back into the same situation as you are at home. The reality is, you don't think you've been doing anything wrong so making you write about your behavior is bullshit.
Having said that, I see you whining and complaining about the situations you've created for yourself and not much trying to fix issues. Come on, you know stealing vodka is wrong but you did it anyway. You know acting up in class gets you a detention, yet again, you did it anyway. What's your next trick you'll do to seek the attention and notoriety you crave? How bad does it actually have to get?
That is a question only you can answer.
And you're the only one that can make those changes, both positive and negative.
It does seem you'd like to be considered the "bad girl."
Yeah, bad girls wind up hurt, knocked up, jailed or dead.
Yeah, great future you've got planned.
Stumble It!
