Today, to teach my 14-year-old son a serious lesson for bullying a child at school again, I grounded him for the rest of the year. He just snorted and said, "Cool, I'll just jack off all year then! Thanks, mum!" and happily retreated to his bedroom. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I grounded my son after finding out that he's been bullying other kids at school. He got mad and screamed at me, calling me a "bastard". Instead of defending me, my wife got pissed and accused me of having taught our son to swear like that. I can never win. FML
Today, I finally had it with the redneck bully who's been tormenting me. He was repeatedly poking and pinching me and laughing out loud during class, so I slung him to the ground, pinning him. I got suspended. They only called his parents, who never do anything; my "caring" parents are looking into teen boot camp. FML
Today, I finally stood up to the guy who's been bullying me for the last 2 years. Even though he's been caught in the act several times, he never gets punished, so I figured I'd get away with gut-punching him. Nope. An hour later, I was suspended from school. FML
Today, my dad grounded me for two weeks for profusely swearing at my misbehaving laptop. After some arguing, he actually accepted my half-joking offer to play a game of CoD over it. His condition was that if I lost, my grounding period would double. We played. He kicked my ass. FML
Today, I got grounded for 2 weeks for slapping my brother after he threw a baseball at my head and hit my shin with a bat. He’s in 9th grade and I'm in 8th. He got ice cream to "cheer him up". FML
Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML
Today, my son, who to my great shame is a typical bully, was suspended for bullying a disabled girl. Her father must have been the biggest, meanest, most tattooed ex-marine I've ever seen. He blamed me for bad parenting, and I actually peed myself a little in fear, which he saw too. FML
Today, a kid from school came to my house. He asked my dad if I was at home, because we were "planning a bit of the old, you know…" and made an obscene gesture. Now I'm grounded for a month, and no matter what I say, my dad won't believe that I've never even spoken to the kid before. FML
Today, I tried to blackmail my dad by threatening to tell mom about the bong and weed he keeps hidden in the garage. Turns out she already knew about it and neither of them give a shit. Now I'm grounded until the new year. FML
Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML

Take everything away I mean everything. bed, cloths drawer. literally empty his room and have him sleep on a foam mat with one pillow (extremely flat pillow) and one thin sheet. my parents did this to me and now I don't talk back at all.

I say this without any insult to the op... BUT **** YOUR SON. It's people like him who made my life at school hell which by the way you might wanna tell him is why I don't hire them now that I'm a boss, I've rejected 5 people with masters degrees and doctorates in my respective field of business just because they didn't like the fact that I played violin in school, tell him to have fun in the future

I think but ******* the poor kid is a bit extreme.

I don't think it's legal to reject qualified applicants simply because you disagree with their personal tastes or because they don't like yours. Personal taste has nothing to do with skill sets, work ethic, etc. Not to mention, it's highly unprofessional to let personal biases dictate the workplace. If people feel you are being unfair, they can easily complain and get you into serious trouble that you likely deserve and won't be able to talk yourself out of. That said, I'm tempted to call BS on the validity of your comment/rant.

actually he can claim that they wouldn't work well with his subordinates because of their previous bullying. he isn't required by law to hire someone who he feels wouldn't work well with his clients, employees, and other work related interactions.

If part of being an acceptable candidate for a job did not include a good attitude, why are there still interviews? If the person in charge of hiring was not expected to make a decision partially based on "gut feeling", all jobs would be filled by a simple computer program.

If he's dredging things up from the past, he'd still likely need some documentation or third-party corroboration to prove he's not simply making up excuses. Either way, unless the person is STILL a bully, it'd be a stretch to prove the qualified person hasn't changed his/her ways and deserves a shot.

Grounding is not enough. Forced community service is where the true punishmwnt lies.

This is when you remove the door from it's hinges, take away all electronic devices, and force him to read instead of watching video/shows

You know what my parents did? Whopped me on the ass. It worked. Stop being afraid of disciplining your children people.

military school, he will understand what really bullying is about plus, he will learn respect and appreciation for the family.

Take away his tissue and lotion.

As an asian, I don't understand why the OP didn't just spank the kid until he understood never to disrespect your parents. And his actions warranted a tight slap. That's no way to talk to your mother.
