Im 10.5 yrs old and my parents use spanking as punishment. I dont think its fair cuz I think I am gettin too old for it. Today I got into a fight with a teacher at skool she was bein mean to me so i swore at her and they cld my parents to come pick me up cuz I got suspended for a day. My dad said to go to my room and I knew a spankin was coming so I said no and tried to run out of the house, but he caught me. He spanked me with a belt, for the first time, only 4 whips over my jeans but it hurt and he said next time i swear at a teacher or diliberatly disobey that itll be worse. How can I convince my parents to ground me or somethin instead, I dont want to be spanked any more. I know they love me and all but its embarassing! I tried to talk to my best friend but he said hes spanked too so he cant help :(

did you ever consider behaving yourself? stay out of trouble and no more spankings. how hard is that.

Hey, I've got a crazy idea. If you don't like being spanked any more, why don't you behave? You say you think you're too old to be spanked, but going by your behaviour, you're still a baby. You also said that their punishments embarass you, but how do you think they feel having to be called into the school to answer for your idiotic behaviour? Personally, I don't think they're being hard enough on you because it's obviously not working. In addition to the spankings, you should be forced to spend an hour in your room with a dictionary!

Do not try to change your punishment; try to change your attitude... Plus, I think the spanking is working real well because for a 10 year old person to type such as decent sentence and spell correctly, it must have been the spanking. You type 90% better than most 21 year old students at college.

tell them straight up. you dont like being spanked, it hurts, tell them you would rather be punished by them taking your things away for a period of time or no games or something. just saying you want to be grounded but telling them in a different way will make them think you might enjoy being grounded and since it would be in your room, you could have the freedomt to do something else. make it alittle more specific. (spanking you with a belt or anything else is practically child abuse anyway.)

first of all you shouldnt be swearing at teachers. If you stopped causing problems you wouldnt get punished. Other than that you have to confront your parents with a reasonable alternative. remember though that it is their decision and not to get pissed if they dont change. if you get angry they will just continue on. Show that you deserve grown up punishment by acting in a responsible manner

I think you are older and made this is due to the fact you are against spanking

I don't think any child should be spanked. It is illegal here in Australia for parents to hit their children. There are other ways to punish a child, spanking is so harsh!!

make a deal with them. tell them that you'll trade spanking for a week with no tv or two weeks without going anywhere.. etc,

act like your turned on. when your mom spanks you. give her a kinky look. and she'll stop. trust me. it'll scare her. dont do it to your dad though. he'll just punch you in the face.
