What have you gotten detention for? Options

[Blank-OuT]

In freshman year I got detention for not wearing the school shirt because it was out of "dress code." I was pissed cus I thought it was a dumb reason, my homeroom teacher was real strict on the dress code.

In sophomore year I got detention cus I was "late" for school.. the bell rang and I wasn't inside homeroom so the substitute homeroom teacher marked me as late. In my school when you're late, you have to do lunch duty in the cafeteria (take people's garbage) in order to not have detention for that day. But I didn't feel like doing lunch duty, so I got detention for not doing it.

Afterwards, I didn't feel like going to detention so I just didn't go. Well, actually I did go, but the door was closed and no one was there, so I just left cus I didn't feel like waiting. So the next day I got detention again for not going lmao.

But anyways, what have you gotten detention for?

In 3rd grade I made peeing noises during science time. My teacher was using those injecting things to put water in test tube things. :/

And I got detention freshman year for not turning something in on time, but I never went and I never got punished for that either. It wasn't my fault though stupid disc didn't read on my teacher's slow and virus infested computer.

[xchrystizzle]

^ ahaha making peeing noises

i got one in 8th grade for "excessive talking" even though the teacher's daughter was talking A LOT more than i was, i was the only one punished. i got one this year for saying something in french while in science class i had to copy this sentence that had three lines over and over and over again for a whole hour. i got gum detention too, which is when you're caught chewing gum and you have to scrape gum off from under desks, using one rubber glove and a ball point pen. oh joy.

i almost got one for not taking my sweater off because it had writing on it and it didn't looke "clean & neat," which is against the dress code, according to one teacher. -_-

Last year I kept getting detention for my friends swearing. Like, a friend of mine, or just some random person would be talking and a "f**k" would just ring out from their sentence. Then a teacher would come up to me.

"I'll need to see your school ID."
"Could I ask what for?"
"Right now!"

I would be all confused, and then they would accuse me of all sorts of awful things. Then I would argue my innocence and no matter how polite or non-contumacious I was, they would freak out. And, in the end, I would get like a saturday class for "talking back." Damned facists.

Oh, but aside from that... I have like three story stacks of detention slips. Just a bunch of attendance issues. I was going to get into honors art and for my exhibit near the end of the year I was going to make a wall collage of all my detention slips, passes to the office, and saturday class papers. The center piece was going to be all my suspension and expulsion papers. Yeah, it would have been cool.

[sw33t_rouge]

errmm.....

eating in class

im an badbad student

[happinessx]

I fell asleep in french and I had to write lines. My teacher thinks she has a sense of humour, so I had to write, 'I will not drool in my sleep.' 200 times.

[Jeng]

never got one in my life.id probably cry if i got one. -.-

[cassjamminx]

haha.. in like 6th grade, well for starters at my old school you always HATED the class below you. so anyways.. in the 6th grade, my friend and i were playing catch with a water bottle because the 5th graders wouldn't fork over any balls for us 6th graders.. lol, hella dumb i know, but then the bell rang and i was still playing catch and this girl from the 5th grade hella ran into the bottle and started crying. now i dont know whats wrong with her, but her nose is kinda crooked and she does talk funny becuase of it, and her friends told their teacher that we threw a glass bottle at her nose and thats why her nose is crooked. and their stupid teacher believed them and gave me and my friend a detention. i told my teacher what really happened but he said i still had to go. but i signed in at detention and left.. lol.

the other time i got detention was in high school when i wore pants instead of a skirt when we went to mass. oh dear. lol.

[Gypsy Eyes]

I've gotten detention for stupid pranks my friends and I did last year.

- having garbage can races (we brought our own clean garbage bags)
- Playing extreme duck duck goose in the main lobby (extreme meaning instead of chasing someone around the circle, you dive at them through it)
- Helping to build an anatomically correct life size snowman of our principal on the roof
- Setting free the frogs in the bio room
- Bringing in rollerblades and having races in the hallway
- Starting a moshpit in the jazz band room during rehersal
- Pretending we didn't speak any english to the sub in health
- Having paper ball fights
- Saving up chalk powder and pouring it down the stairwells

Shit like that, nothing horrible.

[SarahxJoy]

I haven't really gotten detention for anything serious.
I got detention once for talking in class after my teacher repeatedly told me and my friend to stop. But it was only like a ten minute detention thing, where she kept us in during lunch.

We were in sixth grade. Hah.

[*T0rmented_Soul*]

hmmm I got detention once for sleeping in class listening to my iPOD and well I never got caught cutting class, security guards let you if your koo with them but nope only got detention once..but bad grades

[monxcheri]

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Tackling someone.

[*salcha4u*]

I HAVE NEVER HAD DETENTION HUZZAH

BUT I HAVE:
- ditched class
- thrown something at someone's head across the room
- talked back to the teacher
- sworn
- fallen asleep in class
- flipped someone off
- talked excessively
- not do my homework on purpose (but there was no point, i had over a 100)

[*This Confession*]

Hmm I remember I almost got it once because me and my friend Justin were late to class and had to go back to the other classroom to get something and then some mean teacher stopped us and said we couldn't and we didn't care so we got the vice pricipal and blahhh

and also because i made this girl cry because i wouldn't talk to her

[_sarcastic_]

haven't gotten any detentions yet
but i usually talked too much in class, fall asleep, not do my homework, and skipped class once cause it was a boring class

[parallel]

I got detention for talking
LAME

[moonbuggs]

I got detention for dropping a pencil

[*T0rmented_Soul*]

I love detention !! it's cool

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

passing notes. but then i got out of it. so technically i never had detention

[goodcharlotte]

Well I havent gotten a detention but people get a buttload of detentions for:
not having our shirts tucked in (it's a private school)
chewing gum our teachers have like radars
geting late to class
PDA in the hallway

[KissMe2408]

In highschool I mostly got detention because I was late too many times.
I think maybe once for dress code, since I went to a private school, and I was a bad girl since I didn't show up one day in that ugly plaid skirt.

[iDecay]

All I could remember getting detention for is when the whole class gets it. Most of the time, I just didn't do anything. Usually it was because the class was loud.

[datass]

I got detention once for not doing my math homework.

In year7, when my math teacher asked my classmate what type of triangle he drew, my classmate didn't know and said something like "Mr.Tiggles". My math teacher gave him a friday detention for that

[misoshiru]

Out of all four years in highschool, my only detention was in senior year for too many tardies.

[me1issaaaa]

Last year, the late bell rang at 8:30, and we had car trouble that morning and got to school at 8:32. My mom came into the office to check me in, but it wasn't excused, and I was given a detention. My mom threw a fit and refused to let me go.

I wouldn't blame her. you dont happen to go to norcross do you?

I was late once because of traffic because GA is horrible. I almost got a detention because the vice principal hates me but the principal saved me.

[me1issaaaa]

No sir, I don't. Both of my parents did, though. I used to go to Berkmar from 2003-2005, if you're familiar with that school... it was interesting to say the last.

[goodcharlotte]

I see. I used to live in the Lilburn area. But not anymore.

In detention we apparently have to write an essay about one of the characater traits. I would hate to be stuck there.

[xlilaznchickx]

i once got detention in third grade because i said something which i think i said "like me" jokingly...while my teacher was talking to this other weird student...and then my teacher got real mad on wt i said..dunno why?

[xforgottenlove]

ohhh i got it for the dumbest reason ever. it was for not doing only ONE problem on my homework ><

[da_SALSA]

my first EVER on my sophomore year...

was because i was wearing the wrong sweater when it was damn FREEZING outside.

yeah a detention for being cold.

[n_Oodles]

The first time was because I was late for class, which is BS because I was inside the class, just not in my seat.
The second time was when I forgot my school ID and I had to buy a new one. They gave me a double detention, it was soooooo boring!

[kimmytree]

Chewing gum in 6th grade.

[AngelinaTaylor]

Hmm..

- being late excessively
- talking to people
- talking on my cell in class (that was completely retarded though.. we weren't doing anything)
- cursing too much
- telling a teacher to shut up and go to hell
- arguing with a teacher

There's probably more.

Could you have guessed that I'm a straight A student?

[rorhinna]

uh........I've never gotten detention....

[jennyjenny]

being late to class even though i was only like 30 seconds late.

[goodcharlotte]

My sister was telling me the other day how her friend got detention for being late for Volleyball practice when school hasn't even started yet. Talk about stupid detentions.

[*Funkadelic Kiss*]

I usually get in detention for "talking multiple times when asked not to" or talking & texting on my cell phone in class. Talking always gets me in trouble.

[ktsou11]

i've never gotten detention. i wouldnt even know what that would be like!

[dinoooRAWR]

i never got a detention before
but i rmr in elementary school we had 'redzones' . they were pretty much red boxes painted on the ground. we stood there all recess. i got a few in 4th ? grade because i kept forgetting my field trip permission slip xP

[BeautyInATragedy]

>_< In 6th grade I got my first detention for not having a red pen.

[rentheadxsquared]

[rochelley-o]

When I was in 7th grade, I got a detention for being late to seventh period like ... five times. I guess that was expected. Oh, and last year, in 8th grade, I got detention for chewing gum. Stupid reason, really.

[jue]

I was about to get detention for not bringing my program card, but i dont know. they didnt give me a detention sheet while everyone else who forgot their program card got one.

[*x1227x*]

let's see..

- talking too much in class
- fighting in school
- sleeping in class
- not paying attention to the teacher
- not doing my work/homework when im suppose to
- yelling at a teacher
- talking bad about a teacher when a teacher was around. (i didn't really care because i was pissed @ the teacher)
- chewing gum in class

[*Azarel*]

I never got detention in high school; in elementary school I got detention for cussing out a girl, and in junior high, for spitting in somebody's face (and a couple other things, tardiness mostly I think). I WAS NICE, I SWEAR.

[AngelinaTaylor]

^ Hahahaha SURE YOU WERE NICE!

[*Azarel*]

To be fair, they were asking for it. >_>

[lovescream]

I've gotten serveral detentions in elementry, but they were all for not turning in homework.
So far in in junior high, I've only gotten one. It was for throwing food in the cafeteria. What sucks is that she just randomly threw pizza ON MY FACE (nasty), and she didn't even get in trouble. askdjaskfhjxcvlm
I hope I don't get any more detentions as I enter high school next year.

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

I've never actually had detention.
Almost did once. I cursed at this kid on the bus when I was in 5th grade. It's probably on my permanent records..

I do remember almost getting detention in 6th grade though.. We used to always start "riots." LOL.
I didn't do anything that time.. It was the other table. And some other table got blamed for it. It was retarted.

I just started high school and so far, no detentions.

[Trinie]

being late to class so many times! lol

[pandamonium]

FREAKING A SUB GAVE ME A DETENTION. and all the good people who usually wouldnt get a detention. i was so mad cause the teacher said if i get any complaints you get 3 detentions for an hour each. I WAS SO PISSED. i get written up for talking during a freaking movie. ughh worse sub ever.
