Each generation of children seem to get worse each time.

i'm not a parent and i have no idea how raising a child works at all

but i think that properly punishing children & not getting them whatever they want is absolutely necessary for people. realizing that you won't always get what you want is an important part of growing up

I belive it's the breakdown of the family unit.

When I was a kid my dad would spank me or yell at me

and now you have 11 banned forum accounts and are regarded as a troll by most of the community.

A child requires a mature parent and solving problems with violence isn't a part of maturity. You don't tell them they're good, then they turn into smug arrogant cunts. You tell them they work hard, they continue to do so and make something great of themselves.

except children have the tendency to ignore most of the stuff you say and means nothing long term. you have put the maturity in them yourself, not just say "hey, mature up"

You know what I find interesting

If a young person has good manners and is kind and courteous people will say "His parents taught his so well"

But if they are little stuffs people will say "This is what's wrong with today's generation. Kids have no respect these days"

[PhantOS]

you have put the maturity in them yourself

you have to beat the maturity into them

Spanking your children is biblical

[plad101]

I remember one time I swore really badly and cussed out another kid, I got the belt.

Let's just say I didn't pull that stuff again

Be the change that you want to see and break the cycle and give yourself no exceptions to continue it.  This is how you defeat it.

Discipline your children so they will listen to authority, but don't do it without reason.  Let them know why they were punished.  My parents always asked me "Do you know why you were punished?"  And they would either wait for me to get the answer right or would fill it in when I was indignant.

I was spanked as a child. I did some stuff in my early years and it set me straight. You'll only find 1 drama of me, and that's when i got called out for making a fake add-on. I consider that my "Internet spanking". I've never had a drama after that. I got close some times sure, but they would've backfired from lack of evidence.

Children, like animals, only understand one thing when they're really young. And that is pain.

It taught me not to do stupid things.

You think I'd of understood "Don't do that" at 1 year old?

I did not know our rail service had such a conscience - and to mention the fact it's conscious about age!

how about we make some progress and follow the values of today's society instead of continuing the same stuffty old ineffective bullstuff of the old days?
