I'm a girl.

Then who is the dude in your avatar?

It's still me. I'm just an ugly girl.

Oh..... Im sorry..... *awkwardddddd*

nah, not at all. You are forgiven :-)

Thank you :D

Harry Potter in your PENIS? Alright man, if that's how you roll.

If that's what you wish to call it, that's fine.

Allthough it has a resemblance to the word describing a piece of dangling genetalia that I don't posess. Shame, though.. It looks kinda cute and tiny :3

Seen it somewhere before?

k just wondering.

yup, just like you. i read some of your comics, you say your a girl.. u have a fucking mohawk and look like.. i dunno really....

so what? I'm a girl with a mohawk, so I must be a freak! And yeah, I'm shit ugly, but that hasn't got anything to do with the subject.

k just wondering.

Well, spanking pretty much was a last resort method. Like I said, I was a twat. Talking to me and giving me time outs didn't work, so one day my dad hit me. The worst thing was that my siblings were there watching. No permanent damage was ever done.

Also, it's mostly younger mothers that hit their kids often. If they're just kids themselves, they don't know what to do.

in an ideal society, this would be true. and maybe sometimes its true in an unideal society. but for the majority of kids out there this wont work. simply because we as humans are designed to rebel, and question authority. I'm very happy for you that you never needed to be disciplined in such a way, and i say that sincerely. but the reality of it is that most children in this world wouldn't have reacted in the way you did. now I am in no way condoning the "beating" of a child, and i agree that when i child throws an outright punch you should not retaliate in kind because that would teach him/her that "punching" is ok. but the act of spanking a child is not inherently bad. if it is done correctly; with love, and the mindset that you hate causing your child pain, but sometimes it is necessary for there to be an intelligent progression; then i believe you as a parent will be fine. like i said, i in no way condone a parent beating a child, but a spanking is, in my opinion, a completely different matter.

I agree with you on this, but people seem to misunderstand the fine line that goes between spanking and beating. Some people feel that it becomes the most effective way of teaching their children a lesson, and might not stop, because "hey, it worked just fine the last time".

It's not easy to teach young kids. There's a kid about 1 1/2 years old that we babysit, who flails around a lot and hits people because they laugh. I've told his mom that she needs to discipline him, but she hasn't done anything. I don't think she should hit him, because he's much too young and fragile, but something needs to be done.

Also, some people are just born with different temperaments, and they're harder to teach just with words, even when they're really young, so you need to take action in another way. I think I turned out just fine, so far. My siblings' problems have nothing to do with the spankings, in my opinion. My brother's just a horrible person, naturally. He's 6 years older than me and punched me out when I was 7. My sister has Middle Child Syndrome or something, because she acts like no one loves her and bitches all the time.

yeah, I guess you could say so.. I just feel I need to get out there that it can get out of hand if you overdo it..

Simple message I'd like to give is: even light spanking should only be the last resort to misbehaviour. If it comes to this, the discipline might have started on the wrong foot at the beginning.

I'm the youngest child of 3 siblings, and I would guess that I turned out ok because my mother had already raised two kids, and by the time she got me, she had all the tricks and techniques she needed to get along, without spanking.

Exactly.

As far as I've seen, hitting them makes it worse, because they don't often understand the reason.

yeah. You know what?

Parents are often shitty like that, and don't talk to their children properly. They simply hit or spank whenever they feel the time is right to punish them. How often does someone sit down to their level and talk calmly to them about the situation, and try to make them understand what they have done wrong?

I guess almost never. A child has a simpler understanding of how the world works, and therefore even a healthy child might get confused as to why it deserve such a consequece.

Exactly.

hey you....stfu

agree, some people are just TOO stupid to be allowed on a computer

some people are just too ignorant to live.

yup, just like you. i read some of your comics, you say your a girl.. u have a fucking mohawk and look like.. i dunno really....

Are you saying you SHOULD beat kids with autism?

I'm saying, raising a kid with autism or mental problems would be more difficult, considering the huge difference in communication pattern.

If you have a child that has mental problems, it might misbehave no matter how you parent.

It depends on the kid and how they're hit and how often. I was a twat as a kid, so I would break things on purpose because I liked the way things shattering looked, so I'd get spanked. I grew out of it by the time I was 8, and now I'm a very well behaved kid. Honor roll, never been in trouble in school, never done drugs or gotten drunk. However, my siblings got the same treatment: if they did something really bad, they'd get a spanking, and now they're both high school dropouts who do drugs and drink heavily relatively often. I think it depends on how much you hit them and for what reasons. I only got spanked if I did something really bad, and it didn't hurt anything but my pride. Parents who savagely beat their kids for no good reason fuck them up. Moderation is key.

true. I can submit to the fact that really bad or things getting out of control, would call for desperate measures..

Nevertheless, I was never spanked, beaten, hit, anything. Was always a healthy, normal kid doing fine in school. I wasn't violent, I've always respected my parents for the great representative figures they have made for me, and I believe that starts at the very beginning.

The first time a toddler at 2 years swings it's fist at you, as an intended punch, you restrain it's hand and say "no".
Without action, these things go along fine one day after another, until the child has this behaviour implemented in it's system and doesn't think there's anything wrong about it.

I thumbed you up, dude. From what I've seen (I spend a lot of time with kids), the worst children are those that are hit, because they're angry about it and don't know how to show it other than acting out.

I understand talking it out rather than beating your kids. I don't condone vicious beatings, just a good wack to get his attention. I'm a camp couselor at a daycamp, I understand talking works better but this little shit (I live in a small town, I've seen him several times before) is too much to just calmly talk to.

That might be because his parents didn't teach him right when he was very young.

obviously not and at this point i don't want him hurt just something to shock him into hearing them. A little flick on the ear will wake him up or a little whack on the back of his head. I don't want him bruised just shocked into attention.

I suppose so.

assholes, I have explained this more than once, I was not beat, I was hit once and done and don't you dare make the parent assume all responsibility, the child needs to learn he wasnt 3 he was 10-11ish and don't you dare call my childhood failed you prick.

your retarded, ever look around and wonder why theirs so much more fucked up kids? its because the parents wont discipline there kids and let them do whatever they want.
Now im not saying to hit them ALL the time, but its like them touching the stove, they get burnt, they learn... if not they prolly have a mental issue.

If I look around, I see alot of you stupid bastard claiming that this is good shit to do, but why have almost 95% of the community been hit or spanked at least once, but are still shitheads?

Have you EVER considered that kids might act like that, despite spanking and hitting? You don't know what goes on behind the door of their home. Stop acting like you know what you're talking about. I think that kind of punishment is some of the reason why some people end up like total failures.

i agree that you shouldn't beat your child, but a little hit never hurt. i was brought up with an italian dad, if i ever did shit like that i would get hit. so i stoped doing that shit.

yeah. As I said, kids with autism or mental problems. Could be anything..
