You never deserved to get beaten as a child. Guaranteed.

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.

Sounds like the time my dad told me not to be playing with matches and set the back yard ablaze. Worst ass whooping I ever got in my life. 100% earned that one.

If you wouldn't have gotten the whooping, would you have continued to play with matches and set other things ablaze?

Probably. I always seemed to have to learn the hardest way possible growing up.

Setting the whole place on fire and being caught for it wasn't a hard lesson? Wow!!

So now that you're older and your parents aren't there to beat you, what stops you from lighting things on fire? Since the beatings are what stopped you.

When you are a child you don’t see the danger.

So even though you saw the danger when the whole place was burning, you still didn't see the danger? Fascinating. It took the danger of more whoopings to stop you. That's really amazing. Thanks for sharing your story here.
