I am not talking about physical punishments.
Sometimes teenagers and youngsters should be given punishments like ignoring.
This would correct them and bring them to right path .
What do you think.

Nice way of correcting! Really! I support you! It is not only a good way to correct a youngester but also an elder person! Know why?
If you ignore a person that is a metal punishment. No person's ego will allow thmselves to be ignored. He/she will defenately keep on asking what mistake was done and then say sorry for whatever it is!
See Beauty Queen might be right in her way but there are certainly people that does not listen to others at all! Instead of listening they tend to just stop that person from advicing and start boasting about what they know thinking they know everything! It is like doing MBBs and instead of listening to the lecturer you are teaching the lecturer. For youngesters like that this is the only punishment! if they don't want to listen to others, then how can they calm down and listen to what mistake they did as Beauty Queen said? For people not willing to listen to others, this is the best punishment!
Then according to Beauty Queen, youngsters that listen to others and are acceptable of views of others and when a mistake is pointed out they are ready to correct and change, that is what should be done! Tell the mistake and they will change! Right! But people who won't, there is a need for ignorance and negligence.

I don't agree with that, but depends on the adult and the teenager or the kid.For some people, punishments don't work well then they need an alternative option.
Well if u start to ignore a person, especially a teenager, how are they gonna know why u r ignoring them. They might initially be upset, but then when it becomes quite natural they will learn to live with it. The absence of that person isn't gonna make a difference after a while. Punishments are there to make a person realize their mistake. By being quiet and ignoring the person u are never gonna tell them the reason why u r upset and the person isn't gonna learn or understand. Anyone can be quiet, anyone can show that face of attitude. But to make another person realize that they are wrong, the attitude or silence isn't good enough.
They might realize that it is a punishment, but they won't understand the initial purpose. Then if u r quite for a long time, they just automatically assume that u gave up on them. And they won't be able to see that person the same all over again.
Ignoring is a way to deal with kids or pets.
That is how I believe it, but I guess a parent or an adult who have better experience ignoring another person might be a able to give a better explanation.

The time between the undesirable action and the punishment needs to be as short as possible, so the kid will associate the action with the punishment, it may take a child or even an adult a while to figure out why they are being ignored.

It depends on the teenagers' personality. Some would just not care about being ignored.
If their mistakes are really outrageous, yes, someone should try to bring them on the right path. Unfortunately, this is difficult if not impossible... I have seen some examples in the lives of people I've known...

By teens they've learned every trick in the book so it takes a suitcase full of techniques to correct them and ignore is a good one, grounding, taking privileges, banning computer use, ipod, t.v. etc, not allowing them to hang out with friends. I believe the punishment has to fit the crime. Physical is not an option at that age.

Similar to using physical pain, ignoring a child does not teach the REASONS for behaving a certain way. It doesn't answer the question "WHY?"
Granted, teaching a child through intellectual analysis takes more effort, but the end result is a kid who knows the REASONING behind "right" and "wrong", and who behaves well not just to avoid being hit (or ignored).

This is "Old School" stuff! That will only drive them to their peers that reinforce their decisions! Parents need to levee appropriate consequences and while they are grounded, talk with them frankly!! Let them earn their way back to the regular privilages; set the appropriate limits and keep contact with your children!! Teenagers--have a weekly lunch out with them; check with them after school; have some fun together as a family; KNOW THEIR FRIENDS AND THE FRIENDS' PARENTS!!!

I don't think "ignoring" is a very good form of punishment. It could only make matters worse
Talking to them, explaining or even scolding, is better than ignoring.
Ignoring someone makes them rebellious, makes them feel unwanted, un-loved, and lowers their self esteem.

i dont think ignoring my children as a punishment would work well with them...i dont physically hit my kids...but when they do something wrong...i tell them that i am upset with them and pretty much disappointed with their actions....this works better....they hate hurting me....so they try not to hurt me again....
but then it depends i guess.....i think parents should use whatever means that works for them...the important thing is that kids learn that they are wrong and that they do everything not to commit the same mistakes...

youngsters may turn worst if punished. Child or in teens advise is sufficient & encourage them for their good behaviour.
