"The Challenges Of Raising Girls In Today’s Society" http://web.archive.org/web/20040214205511/http://www.veloriaonline.com/alternativeparenting.html A very nice article
I'm just about to turn 23 so I consider myself pretty young still and even I remember the days where if I was rude or something to my parents, I was seeing the back end of something, be it mums hand or dads horse whip and us 4 sisters learned to respect our parents etc. These days you look a kid the wrong way and some prick will end up at your front door with a warrent to take away your kid because of "abuse".
Yes things are alot different now...... I was beaten many times!!!!!! (Belt) and it hurt like crazy......... I dont think this is the way to go about it though,to get so mad you beat someone up using a belt hitting as hard as ya can........
