Mid teens is say age 16. That is two years away from what would be considered a young adult. I do not believe spanking should be used to affect undesirable behaviors/actions, rather other alternatives should be used such as denying privileges.
Spanking may be an effective means of discipline but it can also leave scars as it is regarded by some as humiliation. Roughly a couple months ago a girl posted this same topic and Sisophous was alarmed by how many supported spanking of adolescent girls. Here is the link to that story, you may find helpful, or perhaps it is you who posted it:
um im sorry i dont know what to really say. depends who it is that is doing the spanking? i mean if its your parents thats normal. boyfriend/girlfriend im not sure. but my another adult im not sure about that one either depends on what it is that you did.
what if it wasnt my parents who spanked me? what if it was someone else like maybe a teacher or an friend of my mums or kind of like my mentor but friend as well? is that normal? i mean like yeah im a little shit, i smoke weed, i smoke, i drink and i fight and i do whatever the fuck i want! did i deserve this spanking? COZ I DONT THINK I FUCKING DID!! surely people who are about to punish you should atless warn you before they fucking do it and they should tell you what the punishment is right? well leave your opinions please! fucking assholes!
smartarsegirl it sounds like you deserved the spanking aye! anybody agree with me? i mean look at your attitude towards life! whoever it was that spanked you, you must have done something to deserve it especially if it was someone that isnt related to you! tell me what did you do? and who was it that spanked you? do you think u deserved it? because just reading that comment made me think that maybe you need that sort of discipline until you can get your act together!
well i think that i have it worse that u do. when i go to bed at night my dad makes me sleep naked the when im sleeping he will give me one very hard spanking with a paddle and it makes me cry forever then sometimes when i go to school the teachers give me a checkup and put their fingers in my vagina and they play with me the whole day and it feels good but is this normal
If smacking a child is an effective form of punishment' why do parents keep having to do it?
Tell them that if it doesn't stop you'll go to social services about it.
Also ask them why THEY think you do the things you do. Their answer should be interesting.
I'm just a bit worried that there might be more to this than simple chastisement. I think there's a possibility that they're getting off on it - not necessarily sexually. If you think this is remotely possible then YOU MUST tell someone.
Sweetie you have no idea,
How normal that is,
My friend Sabby gets spanked,
I have to say at least 10 times a day,
You probably have a nice ass,
Or it's soft to the touch,
So everybody wants a piece of it,
Totally normal.
if ur parents spank u at that old than call social services first time my parents hit me (i swear im a really really weird child) i sweep kicked my mom and put her in a chokehold and threatened to call social services i mainly did this cuz i didnt deserve it now... who spanked u? if it was ur dad and u were naked shoot him ur mom eh i dono relative WTF?!?!?! if u werent naked than its not drasticly uncommon
Child buttock-battering for the purpose of gaining compliance is nothing more than an inherited bad habit.
Its a good idea for people to take a look at what they are doing and learn how to discipline instead of hit.
I think the reason why television shows like "Supernanny" and "Dr. Phil" are so popular is because that is just what many (not all) people are trying to do.
There are several reasons why child buttock-beating isn't a good idea. Here are some good quick reads recommended by professionals:

The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children
by Tom Johnson
NO VITAL ORGANS THERE, So They Say
by Lesli Taylor M.D. and Adah Maurer Ph.D.
Most compelling of all reasons to abandon this worst of all bad habits is the fact that buttock-beating can be unintentional sexual abuse for some children. There is an abundance of educational material, testimonies, and documentation about this subject that can easily be found by doing some quick research
A handful of those trying to raise awareness of why buttock-beating isn't a good idea:
American Academy of Pediatrics
American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Center For Effective Discipline
PsycHealth, Ltd. Behavioral Health Professionals
Churches' Network For Non-Violence
Archbishop Desmond Tutu (supports Global Initiative)
Parenting In Jesus' Footsteps
Global Initiative To End All Corporal Punishment of Children
United Nations Convention On the Rights of the Child
Countries where child buttock-battering is illegal: Sweden, Finland, Norway, Austria, Cyprus, Italy, Denmark, Latvia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Germany, Israel, Iceland, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Uruguay, Venezuela, Chile, Spain, Costa Rica, Republic of Moldova, and more in process.
In fact the only UN member who did not sign the Convention on the Rights of the Child was the U.S.

I feel so sorry for you if this is true, they obviously don't have the personal, social or verbal skills to discipline you otherwise.
In the country i live in, this is NOT normal.
Tell them that if it doesn't stop you'll go to social services about it.
Also ask them why THEY think you do the things you do. Their answer should be interesting.

Good Luck
