From good old wiki:
A punishment is the imposition of an undesirable or unpleasant outcome upon a group or individual, meted out by an authority—in contexts ranging from child discipline to criminal law—as a response and deterrent to a particular action or behaviour that is deemed undesirable or unacceptable.
Imposition of undesirable outcome - check
meted out by authority - check
response to undesirable behaviour - check

Which part makes it not a punishment?
