I was 12 years old when I went to a boarding. My parents told me it would be only for one year. I remember I was devastated about not being able to go home even on weekends. I was on my last week of summer vacation and the day my parents would driving me to the school was approaching rapidly. I still remember my parents driving to the out skirts of town, sitting in the back seat with knot in my throat up this long gated drive way that lead to the main building. A suit case in the truck of the car with my clothes tagged with my name among other things. Holding my tears back, I watched them drive off standing with my suit case besides me and the head mistress on the other. "Come along" she said as I fallowed her down a hallway and into a bedroom with tree double bed bucks. "This is your bed and this is your locker" as she walked away and said she'd be back to take away my empty suit case. As I was hanging up my clothes, socks and underwear in the drawers thee girls walked in. It was obvious they were curious about the knew girl in school and quickly showered me with questions. After a few minutes of small talk about myself, they began telling about how things worked in boarding school. Filled me in on schedules, shower and bed time curfews, boys dormitories and the paddling and dosing punishments for screwing up. Of course I had to ask them about the punishments because I had no idea what dosing and paddling meant. When I found out they said "don't worry girls get to keep their clothes on" and add "but were aloud to see boys with out them" I kept thinking of boys getting spanked with no clothes on and girls aloud to sit along with other boys watching the whole thing. I thought they were pulling my leg and lying just to shock me. Well teachers used to write down names on a note pad of students that were going to be punished that day. We all had to be in the gym before bed time, where the punishments usually were carried out in front of everyone. It was clearly meant to set an example by punishing the student in front of the whole school and humiliating them by having to remove their clothes. I remember girls getting paddled over their pajamas, boys having to removed them before walking on the stage and paddled naked standing up with hands pressed on a desk and their penises in clear view. That night I saw three boys completely naked a totally humiliated and girls having a party looking at them melting with shame. It was a very effective way to shape up a student and making him think twice about misbehaving again. In one year I must have seen at least half the boys in school with all their goodies on show.
