It appears most are in agreement that pain is an individual experience.
Some have a higher tolerance than others, with the person’s gender making not the slightest difference.
From general conversations I have formed an opinion women tend to admit they deserve their school CP, whether this is widespread or not I have no idea.
Speaking on my behalf I didn’t break a school rule with the intention of getting caught, quite the opposite, but on detection, my only concern wasn’t the pain, but if I was going to show myself up by blubbering.
Luckily I never did, quite a few did, which probably indicates they had a lower pain threshold than me, or they couldn’t hold their emotions together as well.
