It hurts. It really does.

Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone gets punished. But sometimes when people make mistakes, they get physically hurt. I know, who would ever hurt their child? The thing is, that it really does happen. Some people just have a lot of rage and anger, and they need someone to take it out on. Some people just get mad, when their child does something stupid. But everyone makes mistakes. That doesn't give you the right to hit them. You want to teach them a lesson yea? Teach them a lesson the hard way yea? Well you shouldn't. You should never. Obviously what people don't realize is, that it hurts. It really does hurt. You feel scared, alone, confused, angry, helpless. When you hit someone, you not only physically hurt them, but you hurt them emotionally too. They'll be scarred for life. When they look back on their childhood, those bruises, those memories, that's what they're going to remember. It will never, ever be ok to hit someone. The pain is real. It hurts. It really does.

Hmmm....so you'er totally against spanking eh? Cool. So what about the child that "needs" the spanking, but, instead of spankig em and walking away, maybe explain to them why they were spanked. You know, a little "Father/mother-child" inventory!!!! Anyway, I'm not a big fan of spanking either. Hey, my kid is eating peanut butter out of the jar with his hands!! Be back soon.
