Mom grounds 15-year-old daughter for 4 months and bans her from her cheerleading competition after she mocked 16-year-old classmate for having reading problems: 'You’ll also apologize to Zoey in front of the [youth] group'

Grounding is such a subjective part of parenting. My parents were never the type to ground me or my sister for months on end; it usually took not letting us go to a singular function to learn our lesson. But then again, I don't think we ever did anything worth months and months of penance. I accidentally broke my sideview mirror by hitting a tree, but that wasn't an act done out of malice or cruelty. Kids should be able to make mistakes without being punished as if they're repeat offenders in the criminal justice system.

Sometimes, an intense grounding is given after an incredibly minor transgression. Who else remembers the YouTuber family 8 Passengers? The mom took away their teenage son's bed for months because he pranked his younger brother into thinking the family was taking a trip to Disneyland. Imagine sleeping on a bean bag for months because you dared to tell a joke.

This story follows a teen who made one bad decision after another and, as a result, got grounded for 4 months. Although it seems like her mom's intentions are in the right place, and most commenters agree that her daughter deserves the punishment, others are conflicted on whether her methodology will produce actual results.
