Jennifer Thompson was a high school exchange student spending a year abroad in 
the Eastern European country of Upper Danubia. She was petite and quite pretty, 
with pale skin and short red hair. In the US she had enjoyed sports and 
cheerleading. She freely admitted that the cheerleading had gotten her into a lot of 
trouble, as she ran wild with fellow cheerleaders and football players. In her high 
school Jennifer had been quite the party girl and increasingly causing problems, 
which was why her parents agreed to send her for a year abroad.

Jennifer was elated about going to Europe, where she had heard that societies 
were more liberal than even California, which was where she was from. She had 
never heard of Upper Danubia, but hey, Europe was Europe, so she expected to 
have a blast. No drinking age, lax drug laws, tattoos, raves...what more could a 
high-school senior want?

Jennifer's father sent her to Upper Danubia knowing full-well what lay in store for 
his daughter. Upper Danubia was nothing like a typical Western European 
country. Instead it had an isolated and rather strange society, with strict rules and 
social protocol that dated back to the early Middle Ages. The country was known 
for having the lowest crime rate in the world, largely because of its very effective 
judicial system that emphasized public corporal punishments over incarceration. 
The country had some of the most severe drug laws in the world, and all kinds of 
other prohibitions against rowdy or aggressive behavior. 

Among the papers Mr. Thompson signed was a release allowing Jennifer to 
receive corporal punishment while in school, if it proved necessary. Jennifer's 
parents gladly signed the release, and with that Jennifer was on her way to the 
airport, blissfully unaware of what she was getting into. Yes, their little Jennifer 
would have a bit of a shock awaiting her when she started her high school in 
Danube City.

Jennifer was somewhat taken aback by the conservative appearance of Danube 
City and its busy, but very quiet streets. The bars, discos, and tattoo parlors she 
was expecting were nowhere in sight. Jennifer balked at her school uniform and 
her host family with their endless rules, formalities, and protocol. She didn't 
bother to study Danubian in her orientation classes and wrote angry letters home 
asking her father, what the hell was with this country...I thought Europe would be 
fun...this place totally sucks.

Jennifer's heart reserved a special resentment against Helga Tolkiv, the exchange 
program counselor at her school who always was telling her how to behave. 
Counselor Tolkiv was relatively young and quite attractive, but her long skirts, 
old-style braided hair, and tall statuesque figure made her a rather imposing 
woman. She spoke in a quiet, but bossy tone of voice, always using extremely 
correct English. She was Danubian to the core, very serious and obsessed with 
"honor". Counselor Tolkiv was Jennifer's main teacher, another aspect of her year 
abroad that grated on her.

Jennifer became popular in school, quickly making friends with several Danubian 
girls with similar personalities and interested in hearing about how wild life in the 
US was for high school students. Jennifer embellished a bit, as her classmates 
struggled to understand their American friend's stories given in English. Jennifer 
became the center of attention of the school's more rebellious girls and a growing 
source of concern for the school's teachers by the end of September. Both 
Counselor Tolkiv and the school principal began wondering how they could exert 
their authority over Jennifer and lessen her influence over her classmates. Finally 
it was Jennifer herself who provided the school authorities with a justification to 
make an example out of her in front of her peers.

In California Jennifer frequently had skipped class at her high school. No one 
thought anything of it because so many of her classmates did the same thing. No 
one in Jennifer's clique took school very seriously and the teachers were glad to 
be rid of the more troublesome students. Jennifer skipped class for the first time 
during the third week of the school year to smoke a cigarette in a nearby park. Her 
classmates marveled at her reckless courage, but Counselor Tolkiv gave her a 
very stern lecture about the need to stay in school.

"You are dishonoring yourself, the exchange program, and your teachers with 
your behavior. I trust you shall not dishonor us again."

Jennifer rolled her eyes. That act of disrespect earned Jennifer an hour standing in 
the corner while the teacher graded some papers. Unfortunately the lesson did not 
sink in.

Jennifer skipped class again the following week, but this time the consequences 
were far worse. As she sat smoking in the park, a police officer noticed Jennifer's 
high school uniform and detained her. He demanded to know which school she 
had come from, getting a response in heavily accented Danubian that she had 
been let out early by her exchange program coordinator. The story sounded 
unlikely to the cop, so finally he handcuffed her and took her to several nearby 
schools to find out where she needed to be. Jennifer was incensed at being 
paraded around in handcuffs, not yet realizing there was much worse to come.

Finally the officer led Jennifer to the correct high school and into the director's 
office. Jennifer could tell the principal was furious. He called Counselor Tolkiv to 
his office and berated her in front of both Jennifer and the cop. The woman gave 
the girl a hostile look, angry that Jennifer, after having been warned, was 
responsible for making her lose honor. On top of all that, the exchange student 
had committed a criminal offense by lying to the policeman and was facing arrest. 
Counselor Tolkiv stood at attention in front of the two men and addressed them in 
Danubian, after giving the American another quick, hostile glance.

"Officer and Director, my student has insulted our school and the honor of each of 
us. I wish to take responsibility for her actions and for assuring you this incident 
shall not be repeated. I request your permission to properly discipline her."

The principal looked at the cop, who reluctantly nodded. "That request is granted, 
Counselor. If you are willing to administer a proper punishment, I believe we can 
let this incident be forgotten."

Counselor Tolkiv then turned to the teenager and spoke in English. "I need to 
chastise you, Jennifer. I am unhappy about having to do this to you, but you have 
only yourself to blame. You shall suffer because of the choices you made."

Fear and anger swept through Jennifer as the cop led her to an unoccupied 
classroom. Counselor Tolkiv trailed behind, shutting the door as they entered. The 
cop took off Jennifer's handcuffs as her counselor issued her next order.

"Jennifer, you shall undress. Now."

"What?!"

"You heard me. You are to undress, immediately."

"Fuck you! I'm not taking my clothes off!"

The two adults were in no mood to argue. The cop grabbed Jennifer's arm and 
twisted it behind her back, as he pushed down on her neck in a grip that 
immobilized her. The girl's counselor pulled off her shoes and socks, then jerked 
her skirt and panties to her ankles. Jennifer then felt the buttons on her shirt 
coming undone one by one and her bra strap being unhooked. The cop shifted 
position to allow the teacher to pull Jennifer's shirt and bra off one arm at a time. 
The student struggled viciously, but in less than a minute she was naked. The cop 
twisted Jennifer's hands behind her back and put her handcuffs back on. 

The cop grabbed Jennifer's arms and pulled her upright. Counselor Tolkiv stood 
directly in front of her, face to face. The girl was resisting and breathing heavily 
as the cop held her tight.

"Jennifer, if you wish to struggle like a criminal, you shall be treated like a 
criminal."

The cop led Jennifer down the main hallway to the school basketball court as her 
counselor followed behind. To Jennifer's horror the entire student body was 
assembled on the bleachers. The school principal was standing next to a small 
chair and a microphone stand. The chair had a sinister-looking leather police 
switch on it. Suddenly Jennifer realized the seriousness of what was about to 
happen to her.

The two adults and their captive took position next to the principal. The cop 
grabbed Jennifer's arm firmly to keep her standing in position. Counselor Tolkiv 
picked up the leather switch and tapped it in her hand as the principal gave a 
rather long speech about the need to respect rules. Finally he concluded, pointing 
to the scared naked girl standing next to him.

"Among us is a person who thinks rules do not apply to her. I presume the fact 
she is an American makes her think she is special in some way, but she shall learn 
that in this school, a student is a student, and she shall be treated as such. She 
shall learn the rules apply to all of you. What we have is an act of insurrection, 
and its perpetrator shall be punished. She shall receive the maximum school 
punishment of 25 vigorous strokes across the naked buttocks with a standard 
leather switch."

The cop removed Jennifer's handcuffs and ordered her to lie across the chair. Her 
eyes wide with terror, Jennifer complied, realizing she only could make her 
situation worse if she continued to resist. Counselor Tolkiv took a pair of small 
leather straps that looked like thick watchbands from her pocket. She wrapped a 
strap around each of Jennifer's wrists and secured the girl's wrists to chair-legs. 
Jennifer's hands were immobilized, but, because this was not a judicial 
punishment, her legs were not tied down.

The counselor tapped Jennifer's bottom with the switch and struck her hard across 
both bottom-cheeks. As the stroke seared into her exposed flesh, the student 
screamed from the pain and the pure terror of what she was enduring. She had not 
yet learned that in Upper Danubia a person being punished normally tries to stay 
quiet as long as possible. Jennifer's high-pitched scream died down into a series of 
sobs as her counselor tapped her bottom and struck again. Once again Jennifer 
screamed as her legs kicked up and down from the sharp pain of the two strokes. 
The teacher did not wait, but tapped her bottom and struck hard a third time.

Counselor Tolkiv proceeded much more quickly than would have a police officer. 
This was a school punishment, not a judicial punishment. She struck, waited for 
Jennifer's scream to die down, tapped her bottom with the switch, and struck 
again. Each stroke was accompanied by a very loud shrill scream, followed by a 
lot of vigorous crying and fluttering of her lower legs. 

Jennifer was quite noisy throughout her punishment, as her Danubian classmates 
watched the affair with fascination. Jennifer had been something of a small 
celebrity among her peers because of her nationality and her defiant attitude about 
school rules. The Danubian teenagers had known that Jennifer was setting herself 
up to be disciplined. Several of them tried to warn her, struggling through the 
language barrier to get the American to realize that, if she pushed too far, she 
could expect to be switched. Jennifer rudely rebuffed the classmates who tried to 
caution her, so they simply waited to see how long it would take for her behavior 
to catch up with her.

The teacher struck the American harshly, but at the same time punished her fairly 
quickly and methodically. She felt somewhat sorry for the girl, knowing that what 
was happening was a horrible shock to her. Counselor Tolkiv did not enjoy what 
she was doing, but felt the switching was necessary to prevent the American from 
becoming a source of further disruption at the school.

Fifteen minutes and 25 strokes later, the punishment was finished. Jennifer's 
counselor bent down to unbuckle the straps immobilizing the girl's hands. Once 
her hands were free, Jennifer covered her face and continued sobbing. The 
American was in a lot of pain and totally humiliated. 

Counselor Tolkiv grabbed Jennifer's wrist and pulled her up off the chair. She 
placed her hands on the sobbing girl's shoulders to position her with her backside 
facing the audience. Her bottom was marked with 25 red lines and was beginning 
to swell. For a student her punishment had been harsh, however, any convicted 
Danubian criminal would have been glad to change places with her.

As the American stood with her face buried in her hands, her counselor moved in 
front of her to admonish her. "Jennifer, you must stop crying. You are 
dishonoring yourself by making such a scandal over a simple switching. 
Furthermore, we cannot release you until you are silent."

With a great effort Jennifer managed to stop crying after a few minutes. The 
school principal declared the punishment over and ordered the students to return 
to their classes. Jennifer had to remain standing with her backside facing her 
classmates until the last of them was out of the room. The students filed out of the 
bleachers row by row, walking past Jennifer's exposed backside as they proceeded 
towards the door to the main hallway. All of Jennifer's classmates, hundreds of 
them, got a good look at her punished bottom as they slowly filed past her.

Counselor Tolkiv then took her teary student to the school infirmary where there 
was a bed she could lie down on to recover. 

"Jennifer, if you need to cry, now is the time to do so. You may stay here as long 
as you wish, but once you recover enough to put on your uniform, I expect you to 
come to my office."

She left Jennifer's school uniform on a chair next to the bed, and closed the door 
to the small room. Jennifer cried for an hour, but finally got dressed and 
reluctantly went to the woman's office. The American endured a rather long 
lecture about responsibility and needing to set an example for proper behavior. 
The teacher finally released the girl for the day, but made it very clear to Jennifer 
that she expected her back in class the next day, on time, ready to study, and with 
her uniform presentable.

That night Jennifer sullenly returned to her host family, her bottom still quite sore 
from the welts. The two parents were incensed. They pulled a hard wooden chair 
out of the kitchen and ordered the American to sit down in the living room. 
Jennifer winced as the uncompromising wood from the chair pressed into her 
tender backside. For the next hour her host parents, using terrible heavily-
accented English, lectured their guest about personal responsibility and the need 
to safeguard her honor as Jennifer shifted in her uncomfortable seat and tears 
rolled down her cheeks. 

Once the lecture was finished and Jennifer was allowed to go to her room, she 
finally had time to give her situation some thought, without having any Danubians 
yelling at her. At first she wanted to call her parents in the US and have them 
extricate her from her year abroad. But as she picked up the phone, she 
reconsidered. How on earth could she explain this to them? 

Jennifer then realized she was mostly to blame for her own situation. She had 
chosen to come here as an exchange student. She had chosen to ignore Counselor 
Tolkiv and the school rules. She had no one but herself to blame for not bothering 
to do any research before signing the papers that finalized her exchange student 
arrangements. She now was stuck here in Danube City, facing the awful 
realization she had to make the best out of her life in this restricted country. 

Returning to school the next day was one of the hardest things Jennifer ever did in 
her life. At first she was mortified at the thought of having been switched in the 
nude in front of nearly 400 classmates. After a lot of nagging and threats from her 
host parents, she went to school almost in tears, expecting to be ridiculed by her 
peers. 

Jennifer quickly found out ridicule was not how Danubian teenagers usually 
treated a fellow student who had been punished. Such punishments were common 
enough in Upper Danubia and were the logical outcome of rebellious behavior in 
school. Instead, Jennifer's classmates somewhat sympathized with the American. 
Several girls calmly sat down with the exchange student and explained why she 
had been switched. Her friend Anyia reminded her they had tried to warn her and 
then added a detail that made Jennifer cringe.

"Counselor Tolkiv switched you because she had to. I don't think you realize that 
cop was going to arrest you for lying to him, because in our country that's a crime. 
They would have put you on trial and made you wear a criminal's collar for a year 
for telling him you had your school's permission to be out of class, and then 
refusing to say what school you came from. Counselor Tolkiv got you out of it; 
she jeopardized her own honor to prevent you from being arrested. You need to 
be grateful to her."

That afternoon Jennifer, nervously twisting her hands in front of her, apologized 
to her counselor and thanked her for preventing her from being arrested. The 
teacher responded:

"Jennifer, you shall thank me by applying yourself in your studies. If I see you 
improving in your ability to study and to speak our language, then you shall have 
shown me you are truly grateful. As for yesterday's punishment, the 
unpleasantness between us has passed, and I consider the matter ended."

Jennifer sadly nodded. "I'll try, Counselor Tolkiv."

Jennifer then went to the school library, where Anyia and her other friends were 
sitting and reviewing textbooks for an upcoming test. Jennifer pulled some books 
out of her backpack and surprised them by asking in her terrible Danubian:

"I'm a bit behind, I guess, with the classes. Could you help me get caught up?"

The other girls nodded and with that Jennifer became part of their study group.
