Two days before I got home from my college.I alredy had some tension beacuse of my incoming exam. on that day my father gave me money to buy new college bag. unfortunately the money my father gave was less to buy my desired bag. on that day I came home with frustration as I walked one mile for the shop. whene i come home my father asked me about the bag i told everthingg that happened and my father scolded for no reason.i got angry and rereplied him in strange manner .afterwards he bet me with a stick.i started crying.
the thing i did was it right or wrong??

this is a real tough situation. first it's very important to honor your parents... AS a christian i can say it's one of the 10 commandments. but that said it's important for the parent to make decisions that wouldn't require you to "dishonor" them. now i'm confused as to your age. as here in the U.S. college is for young adults or older teens...and you seem younger than that to me. a parent needs to behave in a parental manner and picking up a stick to beat their child because they don't come home with a bag is abusive in my opinion and a child should not need to live with that behavior. i'm not sure if you were wrong...you should have chosen a cheaper bag i think as that is what you were sent out for and your father probably didn't have the money for the more expensive one, so i don't think your father scolded for no reason. a mile walk isn't much for a child over 12 in my opinion, i think walking can be good for a child. as for your exam tension that's something you need to deal with all the time as a student, you can't use it as an excuse for anything else in your life.
i can say you were probably wrong not to come home with a bag just because you didn't have enough money for the one you wanted, but also your dad was VERY wrong to beat you with a stick over it.
