My mom and dad are so unfair to me. I'm in 7th grade and got a spanking with my pants and boxers down last weekend for sneaking out when I was suppose to be grounded when they left me home alone. I was telling my mom this week that I am to big to get punished like this. She told me that I am still "just a kid" and they will use what they think works. I am kind of short for my age and a lot of people think I am 9 or 10 but I am practicaly an adult.
How do I make them see that I am little kid anymore and what makes them think I am still a kid?

Well, I am not in agreement with most of the answers you are getting. I have a 7th grader, and it's ridiculous to me to even think about spanking him. He is going through puberty, and although he hasn't snuck out of the house, or given me any reason to mistrust him, even if he did I would not spank him. It's just degrading and unnecessary to use physical means to punish using physical force. I would use other means of getting my point across, by first of all sitting down and talking about everything, and why he did what he did, and so on. Then I would probably take away privileges. They are not teaching you anything by stripping you down and spanking you...I don't care how old you are...or how small you are. It's just wrong.

It is not unfair. You are still just a kid. You are in 7th grade and even close to being an adult. You know you did wrong and you deserved it. To them you will always be their little boy even when you are in your 30's. If you don't want to be spanked then you need to stop doing things wrong. You are old enough to know right from wrong.
If I was your mom not only would you be spanked on the bear butt but also you would not be allowed to be alone for over a month. Or we would leave you with a babysitter. But, the rule for my boys is that they are not allowed to do anything by them selves until they are 16. So this would not be a problem to my husband and I.
They are doing a good job being parents. You will just have to deal with it until you are 18 & out of the house.

Well your actions show that you are still a child that can not be trusted. I snuck out a lot and got spanked every time for it. I only did it a few times before it dawned on me...hey if I don't do it, I won't get in trouble. You have to realize that your parents are trying to keep you from getting into a lot of trouble. You may not think it, but the world is horribly dangerous. A 13 year old was just taken by gun point, in the broad daylight from a bus stop. Think what could happen to you in the middle of the night. You need to talk to your parents and try to understand that they love you and are trying to protect you.

Oh PUULEEZE.
You were already being punished with a grounding and you broke that grounding? Now you think it unfair that you got spanked?
Your parents did exactly the right thing! If you misbehave they should spank you! You obviously don't like it - that's what a punishment is supposed to be. If you don't want to get spanked, behave!
Stop acting like a little kid and you'll stop getting treated like one.

Listen to this I'm 21 right now and my mom didn't stop spanking me till I was a good 16 years old. Honey that was 5 years ago...Plus my mom still slaps me if she is close enough me when I say something stupid or out of turn. Oh, and you are not true adult by law till you're 18. The next great age is 21 after 18.

How do you make them see you're not a little kid anymore? You ACT like a grownup. You stop acting immature, and you stop doing immature things like "sneaking out" when you're supposed to be grounded. How are your parents supposed to think of you as a grownup, when you still act like a kid?
You're in the 7th grade. You're still just a kid. But if you want to be trusted and respected more - you're going to have to be the one to mature up a little bit.

you are still a kid and your parents have the right idea. if you broke the rules then you need to be punished, and if grounding did not work then the next thing on the list is a spanking. you got what you deserved now stop complaining about it.
and if you want to avoid getting spanked then start doing right!

Practically an adult? Nope, you have a long way before you reach that level. If you can't take the punishment, don't do the crime. Start behaving in a more mature way, and perhaps they will give you more space, but you are living in their house and must abide by their rules.
