Grade Report Time


Nervously, I sat in Miss’s class waiting for time to pass. There in my pocket was proof that I needed a good hard spanking. The clock was slowly ticking the minutes of the period away. I wished it would just hurry up. I learned early on that my punishment would be less severe if I was honest with my disciplinarian. I thought I had my nerve up when I entered her classroom, but fear was creeping in as time passed. Every once in a while Miss and I would catch eyes across the room. She knew I had done something; after all the guilt was all over my face. *RING* finally the bell rang causing the classroom to quickly empty. Miss headed towards the door; locking it. In three long strides, Miss was looking down on me. Fearful, I looked up into her eyes; I must have looked like I shrunk three feet. I just couldn't find the words.

 

"What did you do," Miss demanded?

 

"I'm sorry, Miss."

 

"Tell me, Sunshine!"

 

"You know our midterm marks came out today."

 

"And?"

 

"I didn't really do my best," I confessed.

 

"Let me see!"

 

I fumbled through my pockets trying to produce my grade report. My fingers finally landed on it and pulled it out. Miss directly took it and read it. Miss placed the grade report on the desk in front of me. Her hands immediately found her hips. I felt her disappointed eyes shoot through the top of my head. I shyly looked up at her waiting for Miss's lecture to start.

 

"I'm waiting," Miss demanded!

 

"I don't have an excuse."

 

"I thought we discussed this thoroughly with grade nine Science."

 

"We did," shrinking farther into the chair.

 

"Clearly we didn't. What does this say, Sunshine?"

 

"Incomplete work, late work, missing work, poor attendance," I read aloud.

 

"How do you think you are going to get a scholarship with grades like that?"

 

"I'll pull it up," I assured her.

 

"That's just it. You shouldn't have to pull it up. You should have completed the work in the first place."

 

"Yeah…”

 

Miss glared at me, "You know this is unacceptable."

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"You can't afford to go to college without a scholarship which you have the smarts for and you're just going to throw it away," Miss expected an answer.

 

"I hate science."

 

"It doesn't matter if you hate it or not. It's a mandatory class and you WILL do the work!"

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"Sound booth, now!"

 

I didn't need to be told twice. I was in that sound booth with Miss's chair in the centre of the room before Miss had the whole sentence complete. Miss followed behind me closing the door and flipping the recording in session light on.

 

"I'm ready, Miss."

 

"I am going to paddle you until you cry."

 

"But I told you the truth this time."

 

"Yes, you did. But there is no reason we should be having this conversation again. You know what is expected of you. Do you not?"

 

"Yes, Miss."

 

"Have I not made it completely clear before now?"

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"Then why didn't you just do it," Miss questioned?

 

"I don't know?"

 

"That is not a reason. Bare your bottom and get over my knee," Miss ordered.

 

With no further conversation needed, I did as I was told. I knew at this point what was expected of me during punishment. I knew when I made the choice to skip class how things were going to end. Within seconds I was positioned over Miss's lap again waiting to feel the sting of her paddle once more.

 

"Miss, I did tell you what I did first," I pleaded once more?

 

"And I am proud of you for that. But you are still getting paddled. Now hand it to me."

 

The debate was over. I was in the wrong and I was going to be disciplined for it. Miss took the paddle from my outstretched hand and started plastering my naughty bottom red. It had been a while since I had been in this position. It seemed to hurt more this time around. Ten paddles in Miss had me begging for mercy. I swear I promised to do everything under the sun to get her to stop but to no avail. Tears started to escape from my eyes. There was no sign that Miss planned on stopping anytime soon. I hoped my bottom would hold out as long as her arm. Five minutes of loud cracking and swatting followed by ouches and crying filled the sound booth's walls. Miss finally released her well-punished sobbing little girl and allowed her to kneel on the floor beside her.

 

"Miss, I promise I'll do better. We won't have to talk about my grades again."

 

"I hope not. Now where do well-spanked naughty little girls belong?"

 

"In the corner."

 

"Off you go then," Miss pointed.

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

By this point, in our spanking relationship, Miss had me well-trained. I didn't need to be told twice. Positioned perfectly in the sound booth's corner I stood with hands on my head; fingers interlaced; my well-punished bottom on display. Now it was only a question of how long Miss would leave me there. I could only listen to the clock tick out the passing minutes.

 

"Sunshine?"

 

"I'm sorry, Miss."

 

"You know you’re grounded until that grade is pulled up?"

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"Pull yourself together and go eat your lunch."

 

"Thank you, Miss."

 

I hurried to my lunch table and joined my friends. They again didn't notice that I joined them late. Into the conversation of our morning classes, I jumped like I had been there the whole time, something that would happen again and again. Something that I will forever be grateful for.

Morning Forgiveness (After the Storm)

I was awake, showered, dressed and ready for school long before my alarm normally went off. My guilty conscience had kept me tossing and turning most of the night. Frustrated, I decided I would head to school early and confess my farther misdeeds rather than wait till lunch.

 

The sun was barely rising as I waited for the city bus. I knew Miss always came in early to grade papers so there was no chance on her not being there. It was a good hour and a half before school started when I dumped my school bag into my locker. Robotically, I found myself heading towards Miss’s office where I sat and waited.

 

I could see Miss’s worried expression as she entered the school, to see me sitting outside her door. This wasn’t the first time she had found me there so early in the morning. As I stated before my home life wasn’t the greatest and I often sat outside her office as she marked doing my own school work. I noticed that Miss quickened her pace, I knew she was worried.

 

“Sunshine, what’s happened? What are your parents doing now,” Miss questioned?

 

“Nothing, Ma’am,” I replied picking my nails.

 

“Then, why are you sitting there?”

 

“I made a stupid choice yesterday,” I quickly confessed.

 

“What stupid choice?”

 

“I didn’t go back to class like you said. I didn’t apologize like you said.”

 

“Sunshine?”

 

“Please don’t ground me longer. It was stupid. It was a mistake,” I rushed out begging for forgiveness.

 

“I want to know why Sunshine,” Miss crossed her arms taping her foot?

 

“I was mad?”

 

“Mad?”

 

“Well, not really mad more, sulky.”

 

“Sulky?”

 

“I can’t explain it. I went straight home and spent the night in my room. I think I was just sulking at first and then I felt guilty and disrespectful. I finished my extra homework for Science,” I stated.

 

“All of it?”

 

“Yes, Ma’am.”

 

“I think it’s time to move this discussion into the recording studio.”

 

“Are you gonna spank me again,” I asked already knowing the answer?

 

My question was answered by Miss turning and walking away. I knew I was to follow, answers like that always belonged in our room. It didn’t take us long to find our way into my punishment room. Miss placed herself on the spanking chair. I had to force myself to find my place beside her after all it wasn’t even 24 hours since I was last spanked. I was sore and wishing I made a different decision.

 

“Over!”

 

The question was answered. I was expected to obey, no matter how sore I was from the day before. I found the familiar place I belonged. Miss’s hand once again painted my bottom red. The spanking was short, firm and clothed but Miss still had a sobbing little girl kneeling in front of her by the end.

 

“I’m sorry I didn’t submit to you.”

 

“Sunshine?”

 

“I’ll submit next time I promise.”

 

“Sunshine, you know I don’t expect you to be perfect?”

 

“I know.”

 

“All I expect you to do is try and be honest with me when you fail.”

 

“Yes, Ma’am.”

 

“I can’t help guide you if you aren’t honest with me, right?”

 

“Right.”

 

“So, you’ve done wrong, we’ve dealt with it, and now we are going to let it go and move on, right?”

 

“Right.”

 

“It doesn’t need to be brought up again unless you do the same wrong thing again, right?”

 

“Yes, Ma’am.”

 

“So, we are going to try this again! You are still grounded and you still owe your science teacher an apology,” Miss reiterated.

 

“I understand, Miss.”

 

“If you don’t apologize it will be a hairbrush. Understand me?”

 

“Yes, Ma’am.”

 

“And I want you to report back here before rehearsal tonight so I can make sure you followed through.”

 

“I will, Miss.”

 

“Good girl. Now I want you to go wash your face and meet me at my office with your science work. I want to see that it’s properly completed.”

 

“Yes, Ma’am.”

 

Looking in the bathroom mirror I saw a broken girl being mended. I was worth something in Miss’s eyes and that was a reason to fight.

I Better Hear It From You First!!!!!


Miss’s lessons continued throughout my high school days never really noticing that my age was ever increasing. Although the spanking urge was under control knowing I would be disciplined according to my needs, the urge never really went away. I felt safe in Miss’s hands and fully trusted her. But just like any other spanking relationship we had our issues to work out. Miss took no time in teaching me what was expected of me; followed by what would happen if I didn't meet those expectations; but just like every other rule sometimes I needed a good OTK reminder.

 

So about two months into my second semester of grade 9 my lack of doing my science homework finally caught up to me. My midterm mark was what Miss would say "Not even close to acceptable." But still, I couldn't just listen to my teacher, accept the grade, and do the makeup homework to bring it up to passing I turned the blame on my teacher. It was his fault, he was picking on me, he hated me, he was the asshole, etc., etc., etc. I don't know where in my right mind I thought this behaviour would never get back to Miss. After all, every teacher I had knew my behaviour or poor behaviour was to be reported back to her. It was only a matter of time before my rudeness and downright disrespect would be reported back to Miss.

 

Science was my first class followed by Miss's class. She could see in my eyes that something was wrong. "Sunshine? Are you okay?"

 

"I don't feel too well," I answered without weighing the consequences.

 

"You look scared," Miss questioned?

 

"I'm not, Miss. My stomach just feels weird," another lie blurted out.

 

It felt weird alright. My stomach had been doing flip-flops since I left the science lab. It was only a matter of time before Miss knew the truth. It probably wasn't the best idea to sit there and lie to her either. In fear, I let the lie slip out before I could stop it. Finally, the bell for lunch rang and the classroom emptied. Miss asked me one more time if things were okay and again, I lied to her. I was fine I muttered as I forced myself away from Miss and headed to my lunch table. Although I didn't eat much lunch, I just sat there thinking about what was to come. I knew Miss had a prep period next so she was free to pull me out of class to paddle me red and raw. I was shaking at the thought.

 

The warning bell rang and I headed to my locker for my books. I was first to my math class which never happened. Class wasn't in session for ten minutes and there was a knock on the door. I knew it was Miss. I knew deep down that my science teacher had told Miss everything. I knew my time had come. I couldn't really make out what was being said to my math teacher in the hall though thousands of thoughts were running through my head. Both Miss and my math teacher returned to the classroom. The look in Miss's eyes said it all; she did know everything.

 

"Pack your books up, Sunshine. We have something we need to talk about," is all Miss said.

 

I felt 27 pairs of eyes watching me as I packed everything up and exited the room. Miss marched me to my locker to put my books away. No conversation needed I knew where we would end up in the end. I locked my locker and briefly looked into her eyes and she into mine. Miss turned and walked down the hall; I knew I was expected to follow. I can only imagine what we looked like to the outside world; perhaps a mother leading her disobedient child to her moment of doom. Arriving at Miss's classroom door, she swung it open and motioned for me to enter; I obeyed. She slammed the door behind us. Miss grabbed a hold of my upper arm and pulled me into the sound booth slamming that door too. She flipped the recording in session light on; my doom was about to start.

 

"You better be honest with me and you better be honest with me right now," Miss demanded.

 

"Yes, Ma'am," I stammered.

 

"Did you honestly speak to your science teacher like that," Miss glared at me taping her foot?

 

"Yeah."

 

"Excuse me?"

 

"Yes, Ma'am," backtracking I rushed out.

 

"Why?"

 

"Because he's failing me for no other reason than he hates me," I stammered still defiant.

 

"He is failing you because you haven't handed in the work since the beginning of the semester. And we will get to that later," Miss informed.

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"In class today, when I asked you if you needed to tell me something, you lied to me didn't you?"

 

"I suppose," I stated dropping my head.

 

"You suppose! YOU SUPPOSE? Well, I'm going to make this very clear to you. You do not speak to any of your teachers like you spoke to Mr Brown."

 

"Yes, Miss."

 

"And you don't sit in my class and act like I'm not going to find out because I promise you if I don't hear it from you first you will get ten times the spanking. Do you understand me?"

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"Now you see that piece of paper sitting on that table?"

 

"Yes, Miss."

 

"You're going to sit your naughty little bottom down there and list everything you have done wrong today," Miss ordered.

 

"Now?"

 

"Yes, now. Go!"

 

Annoyed Miss pointed towards the table. I followed her direction and received a few swats as I passed by her. I was left sitting at the table as Miss I'm sure headed to our cupboard to unlock our implement box. Trying to control my nervous legs I began to write:

 

Disrespecting my science teacher.

Trying to hide my disrespect from Miss.

Therefore, disrespecting and lying to Miss.

Not doing and handing in my homework.

Therefore, failing science.

Not working to my full potential.

 

I heard the door open behind me just as I finished my list; I listened as implement after implement was placed on the floor. I tried to swallow the huge knot of nerves in my throat. Up to this point, I had never done anything this major just little stuff here and there; being late for class, missing a class, being late with a paper. Miss had never even bare my bottom fully yet. I had a feeling that this was about to change right now.

 

"Hand me the list."

 

Miss took the list from my outstretched hand. She read and re-read the list. Looked into my fearful eyes folding the paper she placed the paper in her pocket.

 

"Up!"

 

Once standing Miss took the chair I was sitting on and placed it in the middle of the room a place where we had been before. She lowered herself in the chair waiting.

 

"Miss? Miss, I'm sorry," I was panicking.

 

"It's too late for that. This paper tells me that you know what you did was wrong; this behaviour and the behaviour in class today tell me that you know you deserve whatever punishment I see fit. Am I wrong," Miss lectured?

 

"No, Ma'am."

 

"Then stop trying to change my mind," Miss ordered

 

"But I'm scared," I rushed out moving closer to her.

 

"You should be because this isn't going to be a one-day spanking. You are to report back here every lunch hour for the next week," Miss informed.

 

"Please," I begged?

 

"No! Now drop the jeans."

 

Obediently but slowly, I unbuttoned my jeans, unzipped the zipper, and pulled them off. Folding and placing them on the soundboard table the perfect vision of a child standing in her panties waiting to go over her mother's knee for some behaviour modification.

 

"I'm ready."

 

"Panties, too," Miss ordered!

 

"Pardon? Please, Miss. No," I begged!

 

"Do I look like I'm playing with you," Miss demanded?

 

"No, Ma'am. But I don't want to…" I lied. I knew I deserved and needed this correction.

 

"I don't care what you want."

 

"I won't do it," still defiant.

 

"Fine! If you can stand there and give me an honest reason why you don't deserve to be spanked bare-bottomed, we'll keep the panties on."

 

"I don't have one," defeated I replied.

 

"Exactly, so down they go."

 

"But we've never done it bare before. What if I can't handle it?"

 

I watched as the realization of my fear flashed across Miss’s face, "Sunshine? Do you trust me? I mean really trust me?"

 

"Yes, Ma'am," I answered honestly.

 

"Then trust me when I tell you that you will survive this punishment. You deserve it. You know it. Deep down Sunshine, you know that if I don't do my job in punishing you firmly enough today you will be back tomorrow asking for a firmer punishment. Right?"

 

"Yes, Miss," I had to admit.

 

"Then, do as I ask because you've asked for this. Every time you decided to ignore your homework you asked for it. When you decided to disrespect your science teacher you asked for it. When you sat in my class and lied to me you asked for it. Do you understand what I'm getting at?"

 

"Yes, Miss."

 

"Do as I asked," Miss ordered.

 

My stomach did flip-flops as I pulled my panties down to my ankles and climbed over Miss's knee for my first-ever bare-bottom spanking. My mind was racing with thousands of questions. I don't know why I had decided that it would be so different from a spanking over my clothes. Maybe it was just the thought of being bare-bottomed over someone's knee as a teenager. Wasn't this something that only happened to children under the age of ten? My thoughts were pulled back to my stinging bottom as Miss's firm hand started landing on my bare bottom. Left and then right, right and then left, 2 on the right and then 2 on the left, and then 5 and 5 and back to left and then right. I was starting to fight to catch my breath, as I realized that a bare bottom spanking stung more than any implement I had ever felt over my jeans. I started desperately trying to get out of Miss's hold. I couldn't hold my position any longer.

 

"Miss, please? I can't breathe," I stammered panicked.

 

"Yes, you can Sunshine. Listen to what your body wants you to do? What does it want you to do?" Miss always the teacher taught.

 

"Cry?"

 

"Listen to your body, Sunshine," Miss encouraged.

 

"Can you please give me a break," I cried?

 

"No, I can't. Part of what you need to learn right now is that when you are over my knee I decide when you get a break and when you are done. Not you. You get to decide how to misbehave and I get to decide how to punish you. I thought you understood that?" Miss still taught.

 

"I do, Miss."

 

"Then no more asking for a break."

 

"Yes, Miss."

 

Miss stopped spanking me at that moment. She reached down brushing my hair out of my face so she could look into my eyes. "Look at me Sunshine. You are safe here; you will always be safe here if you need to cry you cry. For as much as you fight it, you need to let yourself cry the guilt out. It's healthier to cry than try and hold it in."

 

"But I’ve never been allowed to cry."

 

Smack! The shock of that first smack as Miss continued the spanking caused me to throw my hand back over my exposed bottom.

 

"Sunshine? Hand me the hairbrush."

 

"Please, I'm sorry."

 

"No, you already know the rules. So, we're finished with the hand and we're going to move onto the list. For everything listed, that's one more implement. So how many is that? Six?"

 

"Yes, Ma'am…"

 

"And then we're going to talk about the rest of your punishment."

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

Fearfully, I handed Miss the hairbrush. If the hand stung that much more what was the hairbrush going to feel like.

 

"Thank you. Now hold my ankle with that hand. If you can't do that then I will hold it for you." I firmly took hold like I was told to. Within seconds of my obedience, I felt the wicked hairbrush land in the centre of my tender cheek. I had felt Miss's hair brushing rhythm before and again it didn't take any time for Miss to hit it once again. Again, I was having trouble breathing. My body wanted to cry but my mind was blocking it. Crying in my family is a sign of weakness. I learned early on that crying got me punished so I learned to keep it in. "Sunshine let it go. Let yourself cry."

 

"I can't you’ll punish me more!"

 

"I will never punish you for showing your emotions. Do you understand why I'm being so firm with you? Do you understand how disappointed I am in you? Did you think once about how I would feel about the situation?" Miss lectured.


"You're disappointed in me?" I realized.


"Why do you think I'm spanking you?"


Tears slowly started to form. "Because I broke the rules we set up."


"It's more than that, Sunshine. And you know that. Don't you? Do you think I would be doing this if I didn't care about what you did?" Still the teacher.


"I guess, not."


"Then allow yourself to feel it and do what you need to do."


"Yes, Ma'am."


Miss's hair-brushing rhythm started to intensify again. But this time I didn't fight the pain I welcomed the pain. I started to use every spank as a way to feel Miss's disappointment. I needed this. I needed someone in my life to show me that they cared about me and that I was worth something; I was worth the time. I was worth feeling disappointment for. That I didn't need to kill my emotions with the drugs I had been taking. It made me trust her even more in that moment. I felt that evil hairbrush for a good three minutes straight. I could feel the heat of my bottom increase with every smack. The tears I found so hard to show in the beginning were free-flowing now. I had never felt this much disappointment in my life. My original fear of survival flashed in my head again. The hair brushing suddenly stopped.

 

"Put that on the floor in front of you," Miss ordered.

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"Kneel up and look at me."

 

For the second time that day, Miss brushed the hair out of my now wet eyes. "You, little girl, are to never disrespect a teacher like that again. If it happens again I will hairbrush you for ten minutes straight. Understand?"

 

"Yes, Miss. I'm sorry," I answered through my tears.

 

"Back over you go. And pass me the paddle."

 

Back over I climbed handing the paddle up.

 

"Please, not the paddle," I hoped.

 

"You know that if you had told me in class this morning and not lied to me you wouldn't be getting this," Miss stated.

 

"I know."


The paddle connected with my bruising bottom. I thought the hairbrush stung on my bare bottom. Holy crap I thought I was going to die from the sting of that paddle on my bare, warm, bruising bottom. Miss was quick and firm with the little bottom burner paddle for the next few minutes. I felt my bottom becoming more blistered and bruised. My eyes which had been too long without tears were loaded with a new wave of fresh ones. I started to slip out of position until my knees were on the ground. Miss stood and pulled me up beside her. She led me to the corner; I saw her digging something out of her pocket. My heart sank.

 

"Open," she ordered.

 

"I hate soap," I pleaded.

 

"Well, then next time perhaps you shouldn't lie to me. Open!"

 

With soap in my mouth, Miss positioned me in the corner. Hands on my head, fingers interlaced, my red and sore bottom on display. I listened as Miss collected the hairbrush and paddle and exited the room. I imagined that she was returning them back to the cupboard. Ten minutes later I heard Miss return and she pulled me out of the corner.

 

"You can take it out now," Miss stated.

 

"Thank you, Miss."

 

"What have we learned so far?"

 

"To be respectful to all my teachers at all times, that it's better to tell you what I have done before you hear it from someone else, and to never ever lie to you because it is just as disrespectful as anything else," I listed trying to wipe soap out of my mouth.

 

"Are you ever going to do it again?"

 

"No, Ma'am."

 

"We still have things to discuss."

 

Wiping my nose: "Yes, Ma'am."

 

"Not doing your homework, or studying for tests, or going to class, and therefore failing is not acceptable. I'm going to strap you for it, hands on the chair!"

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

I planted my hands on the sides of the chair, back arched, bottom up in the air waiting for the strapping to start. It wasn't long. Miss's belt landed over and over and over again.  I had never been spanked in this position before and was finding it hard to keep my back arched and my bottom out. So about five strokes in Miss took a hold of my hip and helped me back into position after each lick. After my strapping Miss stood me up beside her as she lowered herself back into the chair. Pulling me by the wrist Miss positioned me back over her knee.

 

"Sunshine, I don't ever want to hear of you not working to your full potential ever again."

 

"I know."

 

"A failing grade in any class is ridiculous and I won't stand for it."

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

A short but firm tear-jerking hand spanking followed. I was so well-spanked already that I couldn't stay in position. I fought and fought and fought until I managed to get out of Miss's hold. I knelt crying holding my blistered bottom in front of her.

 

"I'm so sorry, Miss. I'll bring my grade up."

 

Grabbing my chin, she pulled my eyes in line with hers.

 

"Yes, you will! You are going to get up and stand in that corner. After which you will march yourself down to the science lab, apologize to your teacher, request the extra homework he offered you, and then go to your last class."

 

"Yes, Miss."

 

"And until that grade is brought up, you're grounded."

 

"But?"

 

"This means you come to school, you go home from school, and you spend the night doing your homework. All your homework! And until that grade is brought up you have detention with me at lunch. You little girl are going to learn what a school paddle feels like. And I want you to hate it," Miss informed.

 

"Do I have to?"

 

"Yes, you do. And you know why. Don't you?"

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"In the corner."

 

"Yes, Ma'am."

 

"I'll be back in fifteen minutes."

 

I had survived my very first bare-bottom spanking. Something I had thought about for a very long time but something I never thought I would ever experience. Standing in the corner my bottom felt raw and bruised, like I'd never sit again. I thought at that moment that I had made the wrong choice. Maybe I wasn't really into spanking. Maybe the pain was just too much for me. Fifteen minutes later I was released from my jail and headed to my final class but I changed my mind. I collected my extra homework and jumped on the city bus home. Once home I headed to my room locking myself in. There I thought and cried, thought and cried, thought and cried. It wasn't fair. Why was I punished so severely? I hated her at that moment but I didn't understand why. This is what I wanted so why was I feeling like this?

 

It took about an hour for me to go through all my emotions. First, I was upset with Miss. She did this to me I had nothing to do with it. I was forced to take a spanking I didn't want. Then I felt guilt; guilt from my earlier behaviour, guilt from skipping my last class, guilt from disappointing Miss, guilt from disrespecting her now. It finally hit me. I've always had a sulky personality. It's something I still suffer from after I get spanked, this is why corner time is so important in my punishment routine.

 

Guilty, I wiped my tears away and headed to my desk. Organizing my science books, I carefully sat my tender and bruised bottom on my desk chair. As I sat and read my makeup science homework, I couldn't help but think about the story I had buried in my desk drawer. That fantasy story I had written when I was ten had just come true. And once I got through my sulky emotions, I realized I loved it. I loved having someone to answer to for my actions. From that day on I have made sure that there was someone in my life that was willing to take me to task when deserved and needed.

 

I knew that as I faced the school paddle tomorrow and the consequences of skipping my last class I would do it with pride. The pride I felt knowing that someone cared about what I did when I did it, and how I did it. Finally, I felt whole and happy like I was worth something. That my grades, my behaviour, my very being, the person that I was, and am, and that I wanted to be were worth something to someone. It felt good knowing that I could trust Miss with my deepest darkest secrets and never ever feel judged.
