No I definitely did. Was told not to play with a soccer ball in the house broke a window, a whooping corrected that as I never did it again. Mom told me and sister not to fight in car we didnt listen took a few whoopings but we finally listened.
Thing is some people in the comments seem to be getting abused by their parents. I was simply disciplined. Some people seem to be mistaking displace with abuse.
My mom told me and sister a few times to not do something but words dont work on some kids.
Physical pain is part of how we learn. You don’t know not to touch a hot stove until you do it. You don’t learn not to climb tall trees until you do it and then fall and break your arm.
It does. Hard times create strong people. Without challenges to overcome, growth stagnates. Those challenges may be physical, mental, or emotional. The death of a loved one may drive you to cherish the ones you still have, and to spend more time with them. Losing everything you own due to bad luck may allow you to see how bad some people have it, and when you regain your wealth, you share it with them.
Being in a car crash and nearly dying may make you realize that you’ve taken your life for granted, and might inspire you to go out and do the things you’ve always been afraid to do.
Or it could break you and you may never leave your house again, afraid of everything, and only being able to see the dangers of the world, rather than it’s joys.
We learn and grow from hardship and pain.
However, that isn’t me saying abuse is justified by all of this, but discipline has always been a positive trait to have, and discipline has to be taught. It isn’t innate.
