Have you ever been beaten as a kid?

Nope, i beat with my own hand.It affect my character with it.

Hi, mjcookie. Yes, I have been beaten as a child. I have gotten beaten by an brush on my knuckles. My aunt did this. And switches from the outside tree too. I was in so much of pain. We all grew up getting beatings with no clothes on too. I could never beat my child like that. It has affected me so much until the point, that I don't even really like to talk to my aunt. But as the years have passed, we have mended our relationship. And with my grandmother, I wrote an note once to my father, telling him that I was being abused at home. I wanted to live with him at his home. My grandmother found the note and she was furious! I was very scared when I used to get beatings. I was not that bad of a child, but I was beaten like one. I was physically abused as a child, and I did not realize this until I got older.

oh i wont forget that day when my dad broke those long rulers hitting me. i was in grade4 when my dad bought me a new bag with wheels at the bottom with a nylon string so i can pull it easily instead of carrying it. it is an expensive bag. im a silent boy during my elementary days and that suspects my dad that im a gay coz i never argue or discuss on things that matters but cry instead. one day, my classmate cleverly removed that string attached on my bag without me knowing it. by the time my dad picked me up, he immediately noticed it and began scolding me that i started to cry again. when we got home, he immediately pulled off his belt hitting me. not contented, he even grabbed those wooden rulers and hit me with it and only stopped when it broke. my mom and grandma was shocked unaware of the issue. my grandma was scolding my dad even telling him that he was even more stubborn when he was a kid but never in his life did my grandma hit him. i was crying for more than an hour after that and my dad angrily told me to look for it or he'll do the rest at school. my classmates told me where they saw it when i ask for it the next day and they're all laughing

hi off course those were the days, i was beaten using even the broom, i remember the broom flying from the kitchen directly aimed at my tighs to stop me from escaping .. but my brother was always the doll, he will start crying n defending me .. he wil pull my mothers hand from continusly hitting me .. end both of us will sit outside our house and cry ..then we will start poking one another and fight .. cheers

I have been beaten with a belt several times during my childhood. I think I deserved it, because such punishment was undertaken after I've created some really big mess. I am no angry at my parents because of that. I think that sometimes there is just no other way to make it clear to the kid, that he/she has behaved very wrong. I think such punishment helps to maintain the discipline, but it's not right to use such form of punishment often.

Ohh ya, I was used to be very naughty. My daddy had beaten me some times. Mom also had a treat to free her arms on me. But apart from these two people some of my teachers have punished my two times. That is it.

I do recall some incidents from my childhood that led to me getting swatted by a fly swatter before. Usually it was after I did something seriously wrong, like the time when I was 7 and tried to drive our family car. I knew I was wrong and I really did deserve the punishment since people could have gotten hurt from that incident. I learned my lesson and never did anything like that again. There were other incidents growing up but the punishment was never really severe. I should consider myself lucky since neither of my parents ever took a belt to me.

I have been beaten so many times I cant even remember .I remmeber the worst beating I got ,it was the worse not because it was harsh but because it was the most embarassing moment of my life .I was beaten in fornt of my entire grade six because I fought with this annoying girl.I dont have any regrets about getting beaten it made me a good person understanding that there is consequence for my actions .Without these lessons who know who I may have turned out to be

OMG at such a young age you were beaten by your grandma. I can't imagine a grandma beating there grandkids. I have a three year old granddaughter and the thought of putting my hands on her doesn't even come to mind. I don't remember getting hit at such a young age it was more at the age of maybe 10 to 12. We would get beaten or have to stand in the corner. That was torture. I swore when I had my own kids I would not be so harsh on them as my parents were on us. I think it really makes you a different person from what you would have been if you had never been beaten.

I wouldn't say I got beaten as a kid but I sure have took a great deal of spankings. I used to get hit with the belt, the shoe, the fly swatter, slapped, shin kicked, etc. Those are just a few ways I got hit. I wouldn't call it beating but it was close enough.

i WAS beaten by my mother and father when i was a kid. some particular beating has a lucid memory in my mind, i can still recall with clarity how it is being done and for what reason. some parents indeed beat children with reason and some beat them without any reason at all. they just beat their children even in slightest of mistake. some beating are unreasonable. the degree it is being carried out is so much for a child to bear. some beating even leave children in black and blue. beating can be an avenue to teach lesson if properly talk/explain after wards. but if not, it can give a psychological and behavioral effect to children. it can develop hatred of children toward parents. i myself sometimes use "rod" to my children if needed. this is to enforce the seriousness of my point. but i DON'T however use excessive beating. that's a NO, NO, NO, to me. just to inculcate in them that the matter at hand is serious and should be taken seriously. when they will grow up, i don't think i will still inflict physical pain in them - talking and letting them understand would be more appropriate, because their mind has reach a certain maturity level where they can understand your point without beating.

I was down right abused from my birth up until the age of 3 months. I know what it's like. I would never wish that on anyone. No, one deserves to go through that. And, I would not put a child through that. I don't have any children of my own, nr do I think it would ever happen, but still I stand by what I said. I don't believe in hitting or beaten as a form of punishment. Because it only teaches children that viloance is not the answer.

I think mistake done by you but that is mistake that is not done on your knowledge.

oooh boy. touchy subject. as a child me and my brothers and sisters were 'punished' my mom was the main disiplinary one, especially after my parents divorced. and being one of seven kids, she would get stressed out and beat us often. and over little things. there was one incident that i will never forget though. i was 15 and my mom had asked me to stay home from school to take care of my (then 2 year old) brother. she wanted to go out with her friends. i didnt want to because i had an important test that day. (i LOVED school. it was an escape) i 'talked back' and ended up in the E.R. with a fractured eye socket and a broken nose. shortly after we went to go live with my dad. i have since grown up and become a mother myself. i could never imagine beating my child, no matter what he's done. i think its inexcusable. i still find myself having some resentment to this day about what my mother had done. i talk to her from time to time, but the scars on my face remind me daily of how hard childhood was sometimes.

Hi there, mjcookie! First of all, I'm really sorry to hear that you got beaten by your grandma because of losing the bracelet, because you actually FOUND the bracelet so it can't be considered a great loss for your family; unless the gold bracelet you found was in your house and not from the streets outside. Anyway, I have been beaten by my parents countless times as a kid. I have experienced almost every kind of beating a kid can get; you name it, I most probably have gone through it....being hit with a cane, belt, hands (slapping) and so on. I normally cry after being beaten, not because of the pain (I can withstand great pain ) but because of the look of anger, frustration and disappointment on my parents' face. But I will always apologize to my parents shortly after and then things are OK..... Overall, all those beatings have not been in vain. I can testify that all those beatings have made me into a better and more matured individual. I guess most people who are naughty as a kid but are successful working people now can vouch for that.....

Well I did have my share of some spanking. But it was not something that I would consider bad. I really think that it was something that mold me to be what I am. I do not consider it something that is bad, rather it was some sort of discipline which I know was good for me.

Beating your child is a coward thing to do. Most parents do it out of anger and that is not a reason. Being a mother myself, I don't have a problem with a little swat to get your toddler's attention, but other then that there are many other ways to discipline. I will tell you it's easy to lose your temper and just want to spank but you have to be better then that and more creative in how you raise your children. I always saw it as an animal kind of act and we are a lot smarter then that. Think, many of you were spanked and don't even remember what for. Many of you might say "I probably deserved it though" which is just a way to justify it. You should never show your children that violence is the key.

Yes of course, I remember when I was a kid my father beaten me cause I was told not to go for hunting anymore but I did. I've also been beaten by my father because I was drunk. I have been beaten many time when I was a kid in hostel in school and at home.

sorry for what happened with u? but when i was child my dad use to beat me a lot for every single thing...one i said that mom i don't wanna eat the vegetable as i don't like lady finger he beat me real hard he had beaten me with his belt. like wise there were many instance... if i use to score less % in exams like twice i scored 83% that time also he had beaten me ...it was hard at that time ..i will never beat my son but still i can say may be because of that beatings today i am at good post earning well...so never think that they beat u unnecessary i might be for your good...but even u can explain those things to your son calmly...that would be my preference.

Ive had my share of that to only that it was my dad who belted me. We were eating our lunch when Im about three or four when I made a bad comment about the food and I directed it to mama. In truth I never meant to hurt anybody yet and just telling my feel about it but in a rush I was pulled upstairs to my room and I had a lunch of belt strikes. I grew up being an introvert and if the opposite gender had the same experience I am sure the most extrovert female there is would become autistic also.
