Do you know the difference between "beat", "hit" and "spank"?
I heard three different perspectives from young people here:
I totally agree with Popcornbird, and I know because I was one of those kids who was never spanked. What I found later in life is that when you are an adult, if you never had heard "no", or been "spanked" when you were wrong as a kid, you would have a hard time learning that people have personal limitations, and your way isn't always the only way. You can't always have eveything your way, as you might think when you're a child. A hard lesson to learn, at the cost of friendships, all too often.
Threatening to call the cops when your parents are disciplining (not abusing) you is the most cowardly thing, because it abuses the true purpose of the law. It also makes it that much harder for the people who really need those laws to benefit from them, as they begin to lose their credibilty. Remember the boy who cried wolf story, and if you haven't heard it, ask someone.
As for fighting back, yes, if you are being beaten, fight back, but mostly get away. Fighting back when you are wrong will just put you in the same place later in life as the ones who never learned to respect other people's spaces and limitations.
