detention

A place where you get sent when a teacher notices something bad or inappropriated. The best way to get one is to chew gum.

Kyle: Yo David. I just got a detention from Miss Hoffman for chewing gum. So I gave her the finger and got another one.

David: For real? I just chewed 36 pieces of gum in history class and didn't get a detention. I kickass.

Miss Hoffman: Who just said kickass?

David: I did.

Miss Hoffman: That's a detention.

Kyle: Haha. Sucks for you.

A stupid way teachers try to teach you a lesson...by the way, it doesn't work!

Teacher: Hey you just got yourself a detention.
Student: Another one.
Teacher:Yeah.
Student:O well, it's just a detention.

detention

It's not good at all. Some detentions can vary depending on what you did. For example if you told the principle to go to hell that is a full day. If you simply had your phone out in class then its a lunch detention. Full day detention are way worse. 2 restroom breaks, not allowed to go to the cafeteria to get your lunch ( the teachers get it for you) and your teachers send ALL the work you have to do down to detention in my school. Worst of all if you don't get it done, congraluations you just got 2 to 3 hours of homework. After school detentions are the worst. You are held in school after everyone has left. Ive only got lunch detentions. its where you get your lunch then go to detention.

To basically sum it all up if you want to be with your friends, go home, or not have a whole ton of homework dont get a detention.
