During my last year of highschool in the United States my parents and especially my father had decided that it would be best if I experienced a different culture. Since my father was of British descent, he thought it would be best if I was sent to England for my final year. I did not like the idea as I had to leave my friends but I also had no choice in the matter. I was sent to a private British boarding school in Rochester England where the headmaster was a good friend of my fathers. There were two reasons why I was sent to this particular school. First it had a reputation as a strict private school with great emphasis placed on corporal punishment. Secondly my father knew that Mr. Thompson would place special emphasis on making sure that I was properly disciplined. Mr. Thompson was known as particularly cruel and very sadistic headmaster. He enjoyed wielding the cane and would find any reason whatsoever to cane a boy. At times boys were thrashed merely on suspicion that they committed an offense without any guilt being proven. Other times they were caned for no reason other than to warn them with regards to what will happen if they misbehave. A day would not go by were at least one boy would be in his office bending over on tiptoes, whilst Mr. Thompson would brutally caning his bare buttocks. All thrashings took place at nighttime in the headmasters study just before everybody was going to bed. All boys had to be asleep by 22:00. At 21:30 a teacher on duty would call the student to come out of his room and proceed to Mr. Thompson's office. That was the situation with me. It was a Sunday and I had been at this school for about a week. Just as I was getting ready to go to sleep, Mr. Smith came into the prefects' room. There were 3 of us in each room. "Gordon you are to report to Mr. Thompson's study right this minute"
"Yes sir"
"I was in my pajamas and as I put on my slippers he stopped me and said"
"No Gordon. You are to leave your slippers here. Mr. Thompson wants you to report to his office barefoot." I was surprised, but I took them off and proceeded to his office. The cool floor beneath my barefeet was a little bit uncomfortable. I soon found out that all boys who are caned by Mr. Thompson have to report barefoot. That way they know that they are about to be thrashed which builds the anticipation. I knocked on the headmasters door and heard a loud "Enter" I entered the room and saw Mr. Thompson sitting in his chair behind a large desk. There were some papers on the large wooden desk which he promptly put away. He was a tall well built man in his late forties with a mustache and a very stern look which was quite terrifying. "Young Gordon, how are you enjoying your stay with us?"
"Very well sir, thank you"
"Good I am glad to hear it. As you know your father and I are great friends and we have been though a lot together."
"Yes sir"
"Now young Gordon, your father has asked me that I pay special attention to making sure that you are properly disciplined here at this school. I am aware that your father is a very strict disciplinarian and he has asked me to ensure that you receive the same kind of treatment here. As we are old friends I was more than happy to oblige. As I am sure you are aware' our school is known for applying corporal punishment as a means of maintaining proper discipline. As you are a prefect now you will be held to far greater expectations than other students. This means additional privileges but also additional penalties in case your behavior merits punishment. Is that clear?" Yes sir "Good. Now since I have been asked to pay special attention to your time spent here at our school, I have therefore decided that you will receive special treatment which will hopefully ensure your superb behavior at all times. Like your father I also am a firm believer in the use of the cane. I myself have been caned as a young boy and it did me a world of good. Boys need a good dose of the stick to ensure proper behavior at all times. There is nothing like a good thrashing which helps a boy maintain stability in life instilling discipline, obedience and an understanding that we must all pay for our sins. Boys here are caned quite regularly for even the slightest offenses. By paying special attention to your development at our school, I thought that it would be best if you receive a regular thrashing on the bare buttocks as part of your ongoing education. In my opinion this will keep you constantly on your toes and you will think twice before committing any misdeed. I believe boys your age need a regular caning to ensure constant obedience. Unfortunately rules do not permit me to apply a regular thrashing to all of the boys as much as I would like to do that. Your case however is different since your father has insisted on special care being meted out towards you. I have discussed this with him and he thought it would be a wonderful idea. Therefore each Sunday you will report to my study at 21:30 promptly where you shall receive a regular weekly caning. This caning will of course not exclude any other canings that you may receive during the week. I hope such a regular whipping will help minimize your other thrashings. You must realize that this caning will take place regardless of your behavior. The objective here is to ensure that you are constantly exposed to what will happen if your behavior displeases me. Each thrashing will be very severe and sitting down comfortably will not be a pleasant part of your last year in school. I intend tot make sure that your buttocks are constantly striped. Just as t! he stripes fade away, new fresh ones will be put in their place. I always cane my prefects very hard and in your case I will not spare the rod one single bit. I assure you that in addition to your stripes, bleeding weals will also be quite a common occurrence during our sessions together so as you can see you are in for quite a bit of pain this school year." I was shocked. I had no idea how I was going to survive a regular thrashing. He then stood up and walked over to a cupboard were he proceeded to take out a long cane which was about medium size in thickness. "This is my most painful cane. I use it on prefects such as yourself. I assure you that you will come to know this instrument very well. Since today is your first thrashing I am going to make sure that it is particularly unpleasant. The number of strokes will not be announced before hand. I shall cane you for as long as I deem necessary and until I feel that your buttocks have been properly blistered which I assure you will not be for quite sometime. Furthermore an undetermined number of strokes will help build your anticipation. Just as you are hoping that this stroke is the last one another cut will make brutal contact with your naked flesh. I know that you think that this is unfair and it is. However this is just one of the ways that I can teach you that life is unfair and the only way to survive is to deal with it."
