That's really too bad you had to grow up like that. It's really sad how much of society thinks these kinds of actions are okay. I see friends on Facebook with their pro-spanking memes, and then the next week they are posting how their kid about burned their house down or other mischievous things they did. I wonder if they even consider spanking can cause a child to act out. That's too bad you don't/can't have kids to break the cycle.
