I was a child, I would cry. I would then try to behave better.
I was never abused but I was spanked many times.

"Hitting" a child is not something that parents should do. If your parents did that I would wait till the situation is over and then quietly tell them that even when you do wrong you want to be treated with respect and cannot accept being hit like a dog.
"Spanking" is a different story. If your parents choose to use corporal punishment, that is, spank your bottom either over panties or bare, then that lies within their discretion as parents and you should behave so as to avoid discipline the next time.

I was smacked around as a child. I learned to keep my mouth shut and my head down. Even then I still got hit and also was emotionally and sexually abused. I continued to be emotionally abused by my mother's current husband until I left home at 19 when I ran off to get married. To this day I don't have a good relationship with my mother.

Well, if I was a young child and I was hit by my parents, I would definitely seek some sort of help. Abuse is wrong by all means.
However, I was spanked... as were my siblings... and that wasn't abusive. It is a form of discipline/punishment that happened to work.

Depends on how hard I was hit and how old I was. If I was old enough to leave, I'd move out. If it was just a few licks that I deserved, I'd do better next time. Sometimes you have to eat a little crow, until you can get yourself together. If you're not old enough, or financially prepared to move out, you'll have to suck it up for a while longer. Best wishes!

No child deserves to be abused. If it is severe, leaves marks, bruising or welts, that is abuse. You need to tell an adult that you trust. There are other forms of discipline that are much more effective that hitting. I am not saying that spanking is not acceptable but at some point in a child's life it is no longer effective. I hope that you are okay and if you are not, tell someone.

Stop doing whatever caused me to get hit in the first place.

i think it depends for what and how hard. i used to get spankings for misbehaving but they were not very hard. but if it is real hard and for nor real reason and whatnot then i would have turned them in or something. but thankfully my mom is not the kind to be abusive but my dad can get carried away sometimes...now that i am 20, if my dad ;laid a hand on me he wouldnt see me and i would turn him in

I would take it without uttering a word. They're my parents and thus have every right to discipline me whenever I go wrong.
But if they abused me, that is, without any tangible reason, I would report them to the police or an adult I trust.
