[SERIOUS] What was the worst experience you had in elementary school?

I was in the 2nd Grade and our teacher had a smiley face/sad face system on report cards. One week I received sad faces 3 out of 5 days, but I told my parents that received all smiles. Finally Friday arrives and I have to bring the report card home. My mother sees it and proceeds to scream at me and drags me to her room. Upon entering the room I was told to bend over the bed and pull my pants down. Obviously, as a child in that household I knew what was coming. So, the screaming and begging begins. To no avail. Ended up submitting and doing as I was told. She proceeds to hit me over and over and over and over again, all the while stating verses from the bible and "This hurts me more than it hurts you.". After a while, everything from the waste down went numb. Being 7 year old did not afford me the understanding of what it means to go numb, So I continued to screaming and crying, thinking that if I stopped she'd hit me harder and the pain would return. When she felt I got the message, she stopped and left the room. Afterwards, I slumped onto the floor and the real tears began. The tears questioning why and how it's not fair. When I was able to walk again I ran and hid in my closet. Then daddy got home... After a very colorful story from my mother, he decided on my punishment. From that moment forward I was not allowed to do anything other than walk along the walls of the house cleaning them from the moment I came home from school till it was time for bed. In between the wall cleaning, as in when I wake up in the morning, when I get home from school, and before I go to bed, I was to receive more punishment from my mother as my father was only home Fri-Sun. This went on for a what seemed an eternity, though it was probably just a few weeks. I asked my parents about it later in life and my mother said "In life we all regret many things, even if they needed to be done.".

TL;DR It's never ok to lie in my family.
