Have you ever been forced to suck on a bar of soap, or swallow liquid soap from swearing?

Sorry this happened to you. Those teachers should have been prosecuted for assault.

No!

My mother washed my mouth out with a bar of ivory soap when I was 6 or 7 for lying.

I seem to recall maybe one time my parents made me wash my mouth out with soap for swearing. I’m not completely certain this happened, though. I didn’t really swear as a kid. I wasn’t even comfortable swearing in front of my siblings even when I knew my parents wouldn’t hear it.

Now my parents and I say whatever we want around each other (I actually think I’ve been a bad influence on my mom in this regard lol). Did a complete 180. :P

Thankfully, no. But I didn’t swear.

The girl across the street was forced by her father to eat a cigarette after being caught smoking one of her aunt’s. He was evil, but that is another story.

No. One of the many reasons I still have a good relationship with my parents and teachers, respect them, etc.

I shudder to think how much ill will, real curses and bad karma are created by such practices.

Oh yes, a number of times. Only once for swearing I think; the other times were for saying ‘shut up’ or calling my brother a name, maybe lying. Stupid, ineffective punishment.

I do recall the taste of soap while having my mouth washed with it. Not sure if I had sworn or just “talked back”. Opened y mouth when it should have been shut.

@si3tech My father kept accusing me of talking back. I asked him what talking back was and he never answered me.

No. My mom used to threaten to do it but never carried through.

@Nomore_lockout I was threatened with being a manager of a McDonalds for life. Now that seems sweet.

No, never. I was pretty good and my mother was pretty lenient.

No. But my much older siblings did.

I thought that practice is no longer a thing in the 21st century?

Plenty of parents are still assholes.

No; never had this happen . Same as spankings. I’m so sorry to anyone who was abused. );
