I was the given three hard, stinging whacks with a big black rubber soled plimsol which really brought tears to my eyes.
My first caning arrived during my second year at the school, so I would have been about fourteen, three of us got caught smoking in the loo’s one break time, I wouldn’t mind but I wasn’t really a smoker I just foolishly accepted a drag on a cigarette just as the teacher on break duty walked in. The three of us were marched along to the headmistress’s study, now the fear plus the fact I hadn’t had time to take my pee before being caught, was putting me in great danger of wetting myself, the fear increasing as we were admitted in to the head’s study.
