Like for me, I personally don't believe in flogging or beating. Well at least I think it really depends on the child's character/personality. If you judge their personality wrongly, results may vary and most of them will turn out bad. The child may lose their self esteem and worse, some might create trouble in school, be mean to people, be involved in drugs, gangs and stuff.
Teenagers especially must be handed with extra care. Strict teachers, overwhelming work loads and peer pressure ( Most really care about their image ), coupled with not very understanding parents, or even a broken home, can really drive them over the edge. Teenagers might like to hide it, but most of them DO take financial matters into account, that is why it is best to keep certain situations from them.
Now, I'm not saying that every teenager feels this way. All I'm trying to say is that if you want your child to have a good, healthy life , it really starts the second he or she is born. I know parents are humans and make mistakes too, but please keep in mind that you are bringing a life into this world and how it turns out depends on you. Small mistakes can make heavy impacts. Even as adults, it might affect them. Take like, if a child grows up seeing his father hitting his mother everyday, how would he feel and how would it affect his married life? Or a child who has always been looked down upon by a parent and he spends his whole life working to achieve something great to please that parent, thus neglecting everything else but his goal.
Lastly, I don't know how many time I have to say it but I want you to know that I know : Being a Parent IS HARRDDD" But you do love your kid, don't you :)
This isn't just for myself, it's for all the children out there from broken homes, who experience domestic violence, who has to sacrifice for their younger siblings ( the truth is, no matter how you look at it, it's not fair. I have many relatives who are bitter at old age. They feel that they have sacrificed so much and now they have nothing and well, let's just say that their younger siblings aren't all that grateful, not showing up for family gatherings and complaining about how they behave... ). These children should be justified. Thanks for reading.
