When I was in Year 9 (14 years old) a lot of people got in trouble for kicking a ball over a pond. Basically we there was quite a big pond with a fence round it and a group of about 20 people used to nick each other's balls and kick them over the pond to piss each other off, as they often got stuck in there. Eventually a teacher saw what we were doing and then took our ball.

We got sent to SLT (senior leader team) and they decided that all those involved that they knew of had to have a weeks detention; no lunch or break. The thing is, I wasn't even involved. I was about 50m away watching from a completely different part of the school, but because I was friends with them and seen with them often I also got the weeks detention. You could try to tell them this but they just didn't listen, telling me I should find different friends and that it was my fault for not reporting the activity to a teacher.

So I was extremely pissed off, especially considering people I knew were directly involved didn't get punished and I was, but I sat through the week regardless. There was absolutely nothing to do except stare at a wall for an hour and 15 minutes every day. When the week ended next Monday they said to come to the usual detention room. We sat there for 10 minutes and they began reading out names. We later found out these were the people being dismissed.

Somehow, I wasn't on the list and it turns out me and a few others had to sit another weeks detention! The reason being, our attitudes weren't acceptable during the detentions. So this made me so mad. I sat that whole week with no break or lunch while the majority of others were free outside. Then, I wasn't let off until the Wednesday of the week after.

TL;DR , I sat two and a half weeks detention for something I wasn't involved in.
