    Is necessary a girl having a corporal punishment
     
    Is it necessary for a girl to receive corporal punishment?

    I don't think girls are more or less deserving of it, but then I don't think it's right for any children to be hit for any reason.

    What if a parent/other authority figure got too angry and hit too hard?

    i agree with Galatea on this one
     
    I'm going to assume that you're talking about a young girl receiving corporal punishment from one of her parents. Corporal punishment's a pretty touchy subject. I think that it can be okay depending on the circumstance. My parents used to spank us when we really screwed up, and I think we're better off because of it. If the issue here has less to do with whether corporal punishment is right or wrong and more to do with whether there should be different standards for boys or girls, I don't see why it should be okay for boys but not for girls.

    Punishment is an integral part of child development. Young children need to learn their mistakes, and at too young an age they can't do so on their own reliably. It is important for parents to use punishment responsibly and in an appropriate quantity and severity. Corporal punishment should be used seldom, and it should never be used in anger or just to make the child feel pain. A single, quick spank should be all it takes for the message to get across.
     
    I'm all for equality! So if there's going to be corporal punishment (which I disapprove of) then it should be administered equally.
     
    so...is really important for girl having a corporal punishment or not?

    It's important for a child to recieve corporal punishment for doing something really bad. If not, they would never learn their lesson, unless if the parent are really good at explaining things.

    It should be used seldom, because it's not always the answer.
     
    Seriously? I would you ask this? Every guy I've met in my life has complained at least once how 'unfair' it is. Girls aren't equal to men. They're now superior in today's society.

    In my opinion, and my opinion alone, girls should have any and every consequence a man gets from breaking rules. There shouldn't be any "Okay since your a ____ I'll forget about it". NO. There should be no boundaries between females and males. We are the same, so therefore we, as equals, deserve equilibrium in every and any sense in the law.

    Which type of Corporal Punishment are we talking about?

    Parental/Domestic corporal punishment?
    School corporal punishment?
    Judicial corporal punishment?

    When I was a kid, I received a few spanking for when I did something wrong because I didn't know that was something that I shouldn't have done. So it's really helping a child to understand right from wrong and understand the punishments that can happen. Of course a kid wouldn't receive a really harsh punishment like something that's Judicial because they are just a kid and not an adult. But I guess without it, some kids grow stealing stuff and doing what ever the hell they want, so there's no reason a girl should be excluded just because they're a girl.

    And I'm not saying that I'm all for Corporal Punishment, but their is a fine line from when a child should be spanked and when they shouldn't be spanked. An example would be if they stole something and kept doing it, they should receive a spanking but if they're crying out loud in public because they want to go home, then they shouldn't be spanked, slapped or receive anything else but just a small talk about why they're out in public and that they'll be going home soon.

    And Corporal Punishment for an adult, well I guess that would only come down to murder and other serious crimes, why let someone walk away from any punishment while someone else suffers? Let's say if you're best friend or a family member you loved was killed and the killer got 3 years in jail and not anything harsher? You would want them to understand the pain they caused, wouldn't you?

    And as for school punishments, I think detention is fine, but if it continues then I guess that calls for a suspension and so on.

    what about judicial corporal punishment for girl
     
    I don't see why people have to be exempt from punishment just because of an insignificant factor.
    That seems kinda...prejudiced to me.
    So yeah, of course.

    I coundn't disagree more. How can you teach a child what is wrong through pain? Violence of any kind is just immoral first of all. And second of all if the child has been violent (hit brother etc.) how is hitting him/her back going to prove anything.
     
    I believe that males and females are equal, and what happens to one sex should happen to the other. There is nothing special about having a vagina and a high-pitched voice that one will not experience the same discipline as a boy, which in the long-run may help them.

    I am am against the idea of corporal punishment, but that was just to answer your question.
     
    OMG, people! Go watch Super Nanny!

    (I know I should post my opinion in this thread, but it's too disgusting for me.)
     
    I was never smacked as a child. Resorting to that is just lazy parenting, in my opinion. You can either teach them right from wrong with firm words and witholding their privileges to teach them the consequences of their actions, or you can just lazily hit them.

    I agree. I also think the corporal punishment doesn't teach the receiver anything other than violence as a solution to everything. IMHO, only lazy parents and authority figures use it; rather than attempt to communicate with their child or ward, they simply lash out at them instead.

    It teaches the child about consequences, and I'd assume that it also works as a threat. It never worked for me or my friends, but there are exceptions to the rule.

    I agree with you. It's wrong and illegal.

    Not in America. The farthest you'll go is corporal punishment being banned in schools only.

    What? Lazy parents don't do anything, strict parents do that.

    It's lazy compared to other methods of disciplining a child, such as listening to the child's feelings about why they're angry to calm them down, and making them empathize with the person whose feelings they've hurt, or even just giving them a time out or grounding them for awhile. That's how my parents disciplined me and now I'm hardly ever naughty.

    It's kind of bad parenting to hit a child, because hitting might eventually become the only type of punishment that the child will respond to, so when she is in school, where teachers can't hit her, she will be pretty much uncontrollable.

    Shouting at your child is also bad parenting, because it teaches her that shouting gets people what they want. You can definitely discipline a child without hitting them or shouting at them.
     
    I don't believe in corporal punishment at all. Let's say I don't like getting hit. Then again my mother only hits me when she is drunk and pissed at something else and lashes out at me. I think if you get hit as a child there is a chance you will hit your own child even if they don't do anything.. just because you are pissed and you got hit when you were a child by your parent because they got mad.
