Hey! OK so this is a big (and sometimes controversial) debate that came up in a class of mine and its a topic thats come up a few times in conversations I've had with friends on how they were brought up. It's interesting to see how so many people view spankings as necessary discipline and just part of growing up, whereas others see it as a bad thing! Would be interesting to hear from the experiences of everyone here. This survey's probably not relevant if you weren't spanked growing up but if you were, copy and paste the questions and please share your views:
1) Do you believe spankings are an effective form of discipline?
2) How often were you spanked growing up (rarely, often or very often)?
3) Who did the discipline in your house? Did you ever get spanked by anyone other than your parents?
4) What offences did your parents consider deserving of a spanking?
5) Was it effective in making you stop doing whatever you were doing wrong?
6) When your parents spanked, was it done on the spot while you were standing, or would they make it a bigger event by making you go over their knee or bend over the bed etc?
7) What age did you get your last spanking and what did you do?
8 ) What did your butt feel like after a spanking?
9) Did your parents ever use an object to discipline you or was it just with their hand?
10) When you were spanked, was it done on the bare butt or over your clothes?
11) Did you cry every time?
12) How did your parents know you learned your lesson?
13) What other discipline methods did your parents use on you?
14) Now that you're older, what is your opinion on the use of spanking as a last resort? Do you feel it was abuse or at times necessary discipline?
15) Do you believe that spanking may have led to anger and/or trust issues with your parents?
16) If you have children would you spank them as a last resort? If so, is there anything you would do differently compared to your parents?
