+74 It is hypocritical when people hear of parents hitting their kids and leaving a mark. They think its sad even if they hit their kids too. Spanking is the same thing. amirite?

There is a HUGE difference from beating your kids rather than just a spank on the wrist or butt. Kids need more discipline than just saying no

I was not physically punished and I turned out fine. All my parents said was no and I understood, though, I did have questions as to why I was told no.

I got spanked a little bit at times. I turned out fine as well. It doesn't really matter as long as the parent doesn't mentally, emotionally or physically scar the child.

It just depends on the kid. Some kids won't listen to being told no because it's not enough to keep them from doing it again. My twin cousins for example, one of the gets time outs because being spanked doesn't do anything but make him spiteful, the other needs to be spanked cuz being told no makes them think no concequences are going to come if they do it again.

Given the choice, would you rather be smacked on the ass once or twice or pushed down a flight of stairs?

Pushed down the stairs because there's that short moment of weightlessness, you know?

Spanking isn't the same as beating up your child.

People who compare spanking to abuse obviously have no idea what they're talking about.

Since when is hitting your kid once or twice abuse? I hardly even understand this post and what it's saying, but people are way too over sensitive about teaching kids wrong from right. If that's even what this post is saying...

But, spanking your kid is legal...

I'm against spanking and leaving marks on your child. I mean, if somebody wants to spank their kid, whatever, it's not my place as a 15 year old girl to tell them they can't, all I'm saying is I wasn't spanked and to this day, I'm still an extremely well-behaved kid. I think that kids who are hit when they do something wrong are more inclined to do the same to other people.

And I apologize for that insane run on sentence at the beginning of my comment. It's 8am, leave me alone. >.<

I got spanked all the time. My parents love me, just as they always have, and I turned out fine. I'm not a mental wreck that cowers each time my dad moves his hand and I'm really well behaved. Little kids need a good spanking sometimes.
