Were you beaten as a kid?

[czhe]

Hi all,

I'm just curious as to if you received beatings or any sort of physical punishment as a child from your parents or other adult figures of authority.

[Furiae]

From my parents, and i'm glad they did now that i'm older.

my teacher once hit my ass with a book when I was in grade 8.

I wasn't beat by any means, but yeah, I did get a smack every now and then (never in the face though).

I didn't vote, because your poll options are a bit misleading. I don't consider what I received a "beating."

With that said, I agree with giving kids the odd smack, but I won't do it when I have kids just because of the politics of society these days.

our family doesn't believe in spanking kids...especially girls!

1 parent did, due to her own emotional shortcomings...the other never did.

[untaka]

Yeah ...Like others have said I wasn't "beaten" just ..someone got a hurt real bad.

from my teachers too...

I wonder if I had to do the same to my children if they don't study well??

tbh, I prefer having that kind of parents (strict, 'killer', like what I have),rather than the ones that gives too much freedom.

my dad used intimidation and threats of a beating, but never actually hit me.

My mom smacked me around sometimes, until I got bigger, and then she used to chase me around with a pair of scissors or a knife, until one day I had enough, grabbed my baseball bat and told her to bring it on. I'm not sure, but I think that might have been the last time she did that. all I know is that it eventually stopped.

Mom used to beat me with a feather duster til about 7 yrs old. Then I started breaking them in half which, in hindsight, wasn't a very clever move because then she upgraded to belts.

I once threatened to call childrens aid and even picked up the phone and started talking to someone. Parents called my bluff by pressing the speaker buttong and all they heard was dial-tone. I then got beat.

Spanking and beating are two different things.

I was just thinking the exact same thing.
