Is Grounding even a real thing?

Has anyone actually ever been grounded before? I have only ever seen this shit in Cartoons and movies:

>Main character gets grounded for something that was either out of his control or completely his fault
>Parents leave all his electronic devices in his room because they forgot to take them out
>Sometimes that doesn't always happen and the main character loses all his privileges and starts bitching profusely about how bored he is
>Angles that involve him sneaking out thru his window without his parents finding out
>Places "dummy body" inside bed to trick his parents into believing "he's sleeping"
>Has to sneak into his house as to not get caught by his parents
>The angle that revolves round the parents quietly sitting on furniture so they can do the cliché of turning on the light to surprise him
>Having the main character sit in a corner as punishment
>The dunce cap.
