So beating the child is the solution? The punishment must fit the crime, and the problems come when they dont.

i think it is punishment
and i also think that they should allow paddling in schools again cuz kids these days have no idea how to act it's horrible
a kid can sit there and swear to a teacher and alls they get is sent to detention? what is that?

A hint, DontBeAFool: try not to double post very often.

However, you have a point. Getting slapped across the face is definitely abuse in my book.

Or you're a teenager getting slapped across the face. Which is possibly even worse.

Spanking isn't something I would ever do if I had children and by definition it is a form of abuse. But what really irks me is that you're a teenager who still recieves spankings. You might want to talk to someone about that.

Yeeeeee.... (mickey blue eyes, again )

you two are nuts but then I'm not one to talk about being a complete crazy.

Yes way!

i dont think "spanking" is neccesarily abuse but it's definitley not right ESPECIALLY at age 14! Parents should be able to control and teach their kids without violence even if it is only "spanking".

Exactly. At 14, you should know better. And, your parents should be treating you like a young adult, not like a child.

Everything in Moderation some people (as we have seen here) can not get anything through their thick skulls with out some type of reinforcement I was spanked when I had done stuff things that were really bad. Spanking is not an all the time punishment it's for when the child has done something bad enough you need the reinforcement of making sure they never do it again the time out chair is a effective light punishment as is grounding but when you need to really make a point spank tht kid.

Why are you disturbed I still get spanked at 14?

Because by 14 your parents should not have to hit you in order to make their point. And what you have sure as heck sounds like abuse to me.

Idiots.

I think spanking is a disinplinary action, not abuse.

Well, more of a smack acroos my face, or legs, or arms or something, but not like a spanking.
