Depend on the child's psyche and how he/she interprets it. It's better to explain it, then hitting a child.Hitting will learn a child some dicipline but that's going too far. You were never hit so how do you know that? That's pretty ridiculous logic, thinking your parents don't love you because you were disciplined for doing something wrong. If they hit you unprovoked, then yeah. There many way to discipline your child without hitting it. Their is no need for it and any kind of argument for it is nothing but retarded. Also i feel a little sorry for the kids this people here may have since they think their parents where right hitting them. I know they where probably just spanked lightly and they where horror children as they say but still violence isn't the way no matter how light it is. Besides if they where horror children it seems their parents did something wrong from the start. |

| Lemme see... Yep pretty sure I got beaten up my whole childhood ah well atleast I gave a punch back and after a few times they never beat me again... I still did get punishments though I learned it the HARD way... |
| Living in a traditional Mexican family, I was hit quite a bit when I was younger... and in public too. I think it works as my friends and I agree that it has benefited us when it comes to behavior and discipline. I was raised in a culture where getting hit for misbehaving was normal so I'm not emotionally scared or nothing. I can see how some people can get emotionally scarred by being hit and all since they feel they are the only ones going through that issue. I was never beaten though. That is child abuse in my opinion. |

| Hitting your children has nothing to do with discipline. It's just the parents losing their nerves and forcing authority in the easiest way possible. |
| I can count the number of times I've been whipped on one hand. My mother never really 'disciplined' as much as set an 'example'. My father on the other hand use to be incapable of going on without verbally abusing and screaming at someone. |
Carmine said: I disagree; Sometimes, there's no other option. I've seen plenty kids who keep on screaming/misbehaving even after their parents punished them (without hitting). If kids behave that badly it's either failed parenting or mental disorders. |
| Woah! ...This is a dark topic. |
| It all just depends on the parent(s) and child. I was hardass that wouldn't stop misbehaving until I was spanked. That was just how it was. My brother, on the other hand, just had to be scolded so he wouldn't act up. He's only been spanked a few times. All of which we're because of me now that I think about it. |
 |
| Yeah got beat all the time, as my parents were originally from Asia beating your kids is standard procedure. Which I am going to carry on when I have kids lol Lauriet said: My father on the other hand use to be incapable of going on without verbally abusing and screaming at someone. My dad is exactly the same, its like he is angry 24/7. |
| Yes, but nothing really serious and I probably deserved it. |
| My parents would slap my arm, leg or face if I was misbehaving as a child, but they never beat me. |
| My mom used to throw darts at me when I misbehaved, but my father just used fire. |
 |
| My mom slapped me once. My father beat me once, not sure up to what point. |
| many times when I was a child... my mom did it because I was really bad boy |
| my parents beat me too when i was little, well almost all asian parents do.. they did beat my little brother too but since i was taller than my father i made them stop but you can see the difference in discipline between asians and; some western cultures though |

| Yes, many times. I also hit my dad in the face once. |
| Any good parent will keep their children in line. |
| Well, yeah. But every time was deserved because I was a sneaky brat. My mom wasn't too bad about it, though; she prefers verbal over physical. My dad, however, was beaten pretty badly sometimes when he was a kid, so in comparison, he's gone Real easy on us. My sister got spanked and smacked every now and then. So did I, but I was the smartest and knew when to not cross the line/get caught. I figured from my brother's example. He'd be beaten because he was a horrible child. Every other day it seemed my dad would be taking the belt or any nearby object to him, but my brother never learned. The worse I think I've ever gotten was my mom crushing my fingers in the door (half accidentally). As for actual beatings, my dad was worse on my brother than me, so it was never bad. Now, however, my parents decided physical discipline was bad, so my three younger siblings don't ever get spanked, unless I do it. As long as you're not crossing the line, I don't have a problem with physically punishing a child. I believe every child should be smacked a little at least once when they're young. My little siblings haven't yet, though. They're all so spoiled rotten; it's not fair. -.- |
Lilah said: That's child abuse ಠ_ಠBut dad has a bad temper and he hit me/mum a few times when he got mad. He slammed into a door and strangled me once |
| I was slapped my by mother once. |
  |
| No. Not really, anyways. I was smacked and spanked a few times as a kid, but it wasn't a habit of theirs. I would have to do something really awful to be hit at all. |
| Yes, when I was a child I normally got hit when I did something wrong, I think it's a good method of education, I'm not against it, I'll hit my kids for sure xD |

nerb said: You should have made three categories: No, Spanked, and Child Abuse. agree with this only id change spanked to something more like discipline |
| *cough* isn't this sapposed to be personal!? Anyways, I don't really remember but I wont talk about it. |
| Slapped a few times and had a hairbrush thrown at me but nothing too severe. Mostly my parents had the self control to take their anger at me out on other objects in the house. |
 |
| Yeah heaps of times when I was younger. I was a a horrible kid growing up xD It was mostly just slaps or hit with something, but it never got to a point where I had to be hospitalized. |
| Never "beaten" ( i.e. punched, kicked etc...) but I sure as hell got hit on the butt with the wooden spoon, belt. Even open hand slapped in the lips when I talked back. But IMO that is what any normal parent should do. |
| I got the odd smack from my mum when I was being a particularly bratty little shit, but nothing that I didn't deserve. |
  |
| Yeah, quite often until elementary school ended, usually on the butt/thighs, either with hand or a belt. Nothing really bad though, I did deserve all of it and I don't think there's anything wrong with parents spanking their kids to discipline them as long as they don't go too far. |
 |
| Of course as kid,but i deserved it and i know it,that's how u grow up. fuck i was a bad kid. |
nerb said: You should have made three categories: No, Spanked, and Child Abuse. The second category should be "corporal punishment". Slapping would be enough to qualify. I don't know why people always think of spanking. I find it far too demeaning. |
| Yeah in my earlier days i had but my father threatened to bash me last week was not the best of days for me. |
 |
| At least once, by my mom because she was beating me up about me getting a part-time job and I was 17 at that time. |
| Yep, long time ago. Sure needed a smacking to my mouth once or twice. But the harsher beatings ended before long. |
 |
animelly said: At least once, by my mom because she was beating me up about me getting a part-time job and I was 17 at that time. The fuck? You should have beat her yourself for such a retarded reason to get beat. |
| I was a good kid, so I got slapped only a couple of times, for serious things. Never spanked. It's disturbing to see how many violent parents there are. DevilishTime said: People like you should not have children. Or dogs, for that matter.Yes, when I was a child I normally got hit when I did something wrong, I think it's a good method of education, I'm not against it, I'll hit my kids for sure xD |

| When I was a kid till my teenage years, yeah, so much that my lips/mouth, nose, and some other body parts bled countless times. Even once got beaten up the night before my birthday. Tough body I got here though. :P And they were the ones who apologized first anyway so I guess that's okay...? DesolateOne said: Hell yeah. I got my ass beat plenty of times. It's fucked up but I got beaten so bad once that cops came and tried to take me away. I got beat up another time so bad it left me in bed for 2 days straight. First instance was for such a dumb reason but second was totally my fault. Fck. Even if it was your fault that was just too much. ): |

| No huge beating, but i did get some bruise and stuff. There was also alot of yelling, me and my sis were raised to be perfect lil children that are always nice and no misbehavior were tolered. We go visit an uncle? Sit down there and don't move or talk until we leave. If i was thirsty and accepted a juice or something that the host offered me (i DARE make the host work), i could see the '' Just wait till we get home '' in my dad eyes. Anyway, something seem to have changed in the past years, my little brother never got touched or anything, and he's growing into a nice spoiled ignorant king of the world, like most of the kids today... If a little beating is all it take to removed those brats from the face of earth i'm all for it. |
| I never got caught for the shit I did so no. |
