Written PunishmentsThe staff of Southern Comfort loves written punishments and we feel that they need to be administered in a real-world way. When one of our adults issues a written punishment, that punishment is intended to be completed and turned in (usually a type-written essay and particularly focused on the issue of bratting). There are different ways to do this, of course, but we use the journals on Southern Comfort in part for this purpose, to give child and teen characters somewhere to drop their written punishments. We may also re=institute the use of discipline logs, which require a child or teenager to write an essay about a received punishment (regardless of the type, provided it wasn't a written punishment). This will be considered in the future.
There is a lot of room for written punishments at Southern Comfort! Types of Written PunishmentsAs with the other sections, you will understand this better once you've read the discipline codes file. When doing punishments, please bear in mind the age of the character being punished. Written punishments are never considered appropriate for children under the age of basic literacy (five or six years old) and are most appropriate for middle schoolers and teenagers.
