Pros And Cons Of Being Grounded
Imagine you're stuck in your house, sitting in your room with nothing on the radio. Nothing on tv. Imagine the boredom. You have to do all chores your parents tell you to do and you can’t go out with friends. Your trapped. You’re obligated to go straight from school back home with no stops in between.
