I think abuse is bad, but not things like spanking a child when they're bad. It shows the kid that they can't just do anything they want and get away with it, and it shows them that they can't say whatever they want to their parents and walk all over them. A kid knows right away when they're parents are push-overs and can kind of control their parents in a way. I'm not saying all kids are like this, obviously. But some are. (Depends on their personalities) I was spanked a couple times (on rare occasions that is) when I was little and I'm not suffering any psychological damage. I'm fine with it. I was bad, I got spanked. I knew right away that I couldn't walk all over my parents.

Now spanking teenagers is something different. I don't know anyone who's parents hit them now. I think its more of a child thing. You can't really reason and talk with a child like you can with a teenager. Spankings give a clearer message to the child. Teenagers don't need to be spanked or hit.
