How Spanking Affected Four Years of my Life
My dad doesn't do it anymore ever since I told him that and threatened to tell the teacher about my marks, but for four years, 10-14, of my life, he used to hit me with a belt using the buckle end. It was for minor things, such as not getting as high a grade as I should've, acting sulky, etc, or sometimes for no reason at all. It always used to hurt a lot, but that wasn't the point. The welts bothered me during school, and people made fun of me when I changed for swimming or things like that. Then one day, my teacher caught sight of some blood trickling down my ankle. He asked where it came from, and I wanted to tell the truth so badly, but I knew I would get in trouble, so I lied that I had pricked myself with a scissor in the morning and forgot all about it until now. He looked skeptical, but let me off. This would happen many times in my life. Anyone else have similar experiences?
The blood came from one day, when one of my best friends dumped me and called me names, I was in a bad mood all day. So when Dad asked me something (I think it had to do with my declining grades) I replied a bit more hostilely than I should've. Bad, bad memory.
