Did your parents hit you as a child?

[userofpeace1111]

I was hit twice as a kid.
Neither time very hard and I wasn't hurt physically in the slightest.
That being said, they are two of my clearest memories.
It mentally scars you (srs)

you sound like one weak *******

I was spanked with a hand, belt, and switch (small, green limb from tree about the circumference of a pencil).
I was only spanked when I deserved it; it was the only way that I'd listen to my parents.

[allkillano]

i deserved all my beatings, got a slap, the belt, and spankings, learned from it. Kids i knew that weren't disciplined are into drugs and in jail... srs.

I am a Turk idiot.

you're my boy!!

WHATS UP??

[dasit4real]

I am a Turk idiot.

No chit. I'm saying that quoting Turks on discipline is lol since they have a history of being brutal, e.g., the common phrase "Turkish prison."

One time when I was about 10, just to piss off my mom I told her she owed me a penny and wouldn't stop asking for it. She then got up grabbed the nearest wooden spoon and chased me up the stairs. I then got in my room and cowered behind the door like a Jew child during the holocaust screaming in terror. She eventually forced her way in and I tried hiding behind my bed but she managed to get a couple good whacks in and left with a smirk on her face saying "bet that one hurt" and then left me in my crying misery. My friends mostly find that story lolzy tho.

I always argue my parents.

The reason my brother turned out to be who/how he is; is because they did not beat him enough as a kid.

They did not apply hot peppers to his mouth as much as they did to me as a child when he cursed.

[MirinTheIron]

just think how much better if he had electrocuted you. or shot you. i mean if a beating is good, imagine a good baseball bat to the ribs. you'd be a CEO by now!

I agree.

[WakeNBake]

wtf??

you guys should think about how stupid and conclusory your posts sound before you hit the reply button.

I'm saying children learn what's right and wrong a lot faster through getting hit with a switch/hand/belt opposed to no tv for an hour or now that's not nice and apologize...

I'm going to take a guess you live in a city maybe? In the rural Midwest, where I reside, you can tell when kids have or have not been reprimanded for past actions on how they act now.

[xXDMNKXx]

come to think of it, my siblings were on the receiving end of the hairbrush of death and misery..but that was before my time, unlucky little bastards.

[Hen2291]

Tfw when you put your hand up to block then your parents go insane acting like you tried to hit them back lol..

[M1ssMurder]

My mom and dad just used soap lol, but I agree 100% punishment builds character and teaches you right from wrong. All the kids I go to school with that get in trouble for incidents involving stealing/drinking/drugs/vandalism for the majority are people who have never faced punishment or reprimand; trying to leave class and political views out of the debate, but I believe that plays a factor.

[LetMeBang]

both my parents beat the chit out of me many times, but the difference between them two is that my mom beat the chit out of me bc i was acting up and my biological father beat the chit out of me just cuz he wanted to and take his stress out on me. hate dat nikka

[TurkBrah]

you know i don't really agree with you, right?

it doesnt matter since you are a female.

LOL i know this feel so bad

[IbnKutub]

Yes OP

I deserved it and in hindsight,
I wish they had done it more often and for specific things in particular.

Nothing is sweeter as one approaches maturity than discipline.

[M1ssMurder]

Parents who terrorize and hurt their children = bad parents. There are ways of disciplining without hurting. For those of you who think you were bad kids who "deserved it," etc, perhaps you feel that way because your parents were ****ty to begin with, and had no idea how to raise you.

With an attitude like that, nothing you say matters

[dasit4real]

Awesome post.

It makes me sad to see the kids who were beaten justify their parents' chitty behavior.

[schlitta]

Never.

And I ended up just fine without

I have the most amazing parents. I DONT know if punishment worked for me. I dont THINK its 100% necessary. May be I was going to be who I am anyway? I' dont think anyone feels that they deserved, It just had an impact on who they are. The consequences are worthless in the way many parents "discipline" their child.

BRB, go to your room, brb give me Ipod, brb no candy.

These are all INEFFECTIVE. Because it does not effect the child emotionally.

There is a fine line between 'beating' and discipline, and this conversation always blurs that line and discusses them as the same thing. I received stern discipline from my parents a few times while growing up. Spanked and got the belt once or twice. I learned valuable lessons from those times and honestly helped me in understanding right from wrong. Kids dont think the same way as adults, they cant comprehend logic for the most part. A rare occasional spanking when the kid really goofs can be really beneficial.

But totally against punching kids, kicking them, hitting them excessively. That can cause a whole slew of issues and resentment.

[thehypocrit]

One good beating is enough. The fear of future beatings will be enough to stop any kid.

And sometimes that fear never goes away, and is carried into adulthood as a crippling anxiety disorder

agreed completely, I needed disciplined growing up; but the issue of people taking their frustrations out on kids is something completely different. Furthermore using "hit" in the Thread Title makes me believe that OP wanted this line blurred or maybe just wanted to hear some wild stories I don't know since I'm not him lol.

[LLama1384]

I thank my mom every day for it lol at kids that got time out spoiled lil beeetches lol inb4 dear diary

[turkify]

Ah, this chit. I had crazy Iranian parents. My dad used to tuck his thumb in between his middle and index fingers and make a fist with the middle finger knuckle prominent and hit me in the side of the head. Hurt like ****. My dad used to also hit me with his belt. My mother used to slap me all the time, one time, I think I was 9 or 10, (I deserved it but it was way over the top) I told her to shut up and she came running down the hallway, tackled me and bit into my head so hard I thought I would die. Then she laughed as I cried about it. My uncle would punch me straight in the mouth if I got rude, once he ate a cupcake my teacher gave me (I think I was 6) and I got upset and yelled, and he socked me in the jaw. They divorced when I was 13 and amid their own drama and personal issues they actually became abusive, taking their **** out on me. Overall they spent more time beating each other than hitting me, so I saw a lot of that; police getting called to the house, neighbors getting riled up, etc. They stopped doing this after the divorce and when I got bigger by like 14 or 15 they stopped hitting me but we'd both instigate fights. This led to trouble during the time but I calmed down by the time I was 17. It does a number on you, but I wouldn't say physical discipline is abuse. I would say what ended up scarring me was them taking out their marital frustrations on me and the manipulation when they used me to get back at one another and turn me against them. That really is a lot to put on a 13 year old. But that's life, no one's parents are perfect... or sane. If anything it made me a very non-confrontational person.

[TehScoTTmA]

My mom would whip my ass (paddle, spoon, etc)

Dad rarely spanked me but when he did i never ****ed up again.

Was raised right

[Ultraviolence]

Lol I got the belt a few times but that was it. They probably aren't interested in beating me up anymore.
