Punishment is never the answer, only suppresses behavior.

Well my parent used to say, that "i'm beginning to make a crooked line and if i cant make it straight then thats their duty to help me... when ever a punishment is done. The also says "When i hit you(with the belt) it doesn't mean that i hate you, it means that i love you and care for you. I just dont like to see you grow up in a society being a left alone child, that has never thought a lesson. It hurts more to us(Parents) to see their child crying while being punished."
btw... the college part of the pic was a joke. And i am very curious though on how does your parents punish you when you did something wrong. I got a class mate that has experienced, he was put inside a sack his head outside the damn thing and was suspended 3 feet off ground on a mango tree, he didnt said what was the reason. and tbh hes the most respectful, non-offensive, quiet type of person i ever knew and hes very greatful that he has experienced that... and if he didnt, who knows what he would grow up to be. Pretty ironic but i heard it from my two ears.

I'm doing so many things which my mother is proud off, there's no need to punish me. Even if I did something to mess up once, and it's not intentional, she always forgives me. She trusts in me to know right from wrong and make the right decisions where they count. It's mostly because of her that I grew up to be the way I am now.

The only time punishment should be administered under extreme conditions, but even then, you tell your child WHY they are being punished rather than beating the hell 'outta them.
Punishment should be administered with rewards for appropriate behavior. The negative effects tho is that children who become punished resent their parents more and more, and adapt to that physical or mental abuse and then pass that onto their children through learned helplessness.
When a child does something wrong like throw a tantrum, instead of giving into the child's needs or punishing them, ignore them. They will eventually learn and leave no scars. This way, they don't become brats, and they aren't emotionally scarred for life.

Yes, there should always be a good reason.Punishment should be administered with rewards for appropriate behavior. The negative effects tho is that children who become punished resent their parents more and more, and adapt to that physical or mental abuse and then pass that onto their children through learned helplessness.
That is not necessarily the case, I was beaten by whatever was within reach of my parents(ruler, belt, umbrella, etc) but I never resented my parents.
I knew there were results for acting a fool and I prepared to accept full responsibility for my actions.When a child does something wrong like throw a tantrum, instead of giving into the child's needs or punishing them, ignore them. They will eventually learn and leave no scars. This way, they don't become brats, and they aren't emotionally scarred for life.
Judging from my own experience, I find that people around me who were beaten as children were generally better people that those who were not beaten(they act like assholes/spoiled brats). Of course, the APA says otherwise http://www.apa.org/releases/spanking.html

I was 17 the last time my mum tried to punish me and my dad has never tried.
When I was younger my mum would smack me..

Up to around when I was 8 I got a slap as punishment. Makes you think twice before you go cause some mischief again.
I don't blame them for a bit. When I see annoying kids getting stupid reprimands from their parents telling them they won't be able to see TV if they don't quit or whatever I just want to walk up there and smack those **** myself.
I'm not talking about a really hard hit or anything, just an educational slap. The same as it goes in nature, if you touch a nettle once and it hurts, you won't touch it again.
My parents only gave me a slap when I really wouldn't listen. I'm not saying you should slap your kids every time they misbehave.
If you slap your kids once they'll listen better in the future.
And now you can blabla about how physically punishing your kids is a sign of weakness and despair and all that good stuff, it's just effective and it's made sure I wasn't a source of irritation for anyone else.

Personally I got the whole, "We're not mad at you, we're just disappointed in you." Definite knife through the heart.

I got that as well + the no TV thing + no visits from friends. Not even to mention my girlfriend at that time, who simply got told I wasn't allowed to see her because I needed to be punished for my behavior. But I don't blame my mother for it, not one bit.

When I was younger, my stepmother smacked the kids with a wooden spoon, but she would never hit me. No idea why. I got the chair in the corner to think about what I did. Now that I'm older it's: No tv, no internet past certain times, no car, no going out. Sucks being the oldest. My sister gets in trouble, and my parents take her license for a day. Then they give it back, buy her a new car, and let her go to the movies. gg no re

some kids need to get smacked. I frown everytime i see some brat acting out in public screaming and running and acting wild. I would have never in all my life even thought about doing most of the stuff kids get away with now. The belt is crude instructor but when used properly it instills in a person a sense of boundaries and limits which is what kids lack these days imo.
