Anyone on here get knocked about as a child?
The more children are spanked, the more likely they are to defy their parents and to experience increased anti-social behavior, aggression, mental health problems and cognitive difficulties, according to a new meta-analysis of 50 years of research on spanking.
PS don't forget sex education

Ian, probably the majority of us got knocked about as children, it was an accepted form of child raising until very recently.
We also got knocked about at school, again accepted as part of growing up.
Probably the more relevant question is "anyone on here that still holds a grudge about being knocked about as a child"?
Probably not many people... But I am guessing you do.
Most of us learnt that being raised in that way was counter productive and haven't raised our own children in that way.
I wouldn't relate S&M as an adult to being knocked about as a child either (not sure how your mind has made that association), I seriously doubt spanking a child (or full blown punches and kicks in my case) would be the seed to S&M in later life - if anything it's more likely to do the opposite.
Get a grip man, you are letting your past rule your future - just move on.
FYI, as much as I hated being beaten as the child of an alcoholic it wasn't hard to separate someone else's actions (my fathers) with my own actions.
