If necessary would you hit your parents back or keep your hands to yourself?

By "necessary" I mean your parents are hitting you to an extreme (slapping/hitting/kicking you, pulling your hair, throwing and shoving you across the room, etc etc, and when you beg/ask for forgiveness/mercy they dont stop)

It depends on the circumstances . When it comes to time in defending yourself from being abused by the elderly , or even your beloved but uncaring parents , then retaliate is the only choice .

Though, occasionally , parents are the ones that will care and pamper us . Hence, if parents spanking you reasonably , then you should hold back your temper and admit to your wrongdoings .

My mother's a 44 year old obese hunchback dwarf with no gall bladder, no appendix, laryngitis, and bronchitis.

Hitting her back would be akin to using a shotgun to get that annoying fly off your ass.

If a person attacks me violently, then I lose all respect for that person as an intelligent human. Family or not, if they attack me, they are fair game. I will attack back viciously until I am safe. I will obviously not kill them, but I will not allow a person to push me around just because they are bigger or stronger or an authority. I do not love violent people, and if that means I cannot love my own family, then that is a damn shame.

However, my family is not like that, so I love them very much.

One must always defend themselves when in life. It is important that any individual understands this.

I don't think hitting back is going to work, if you're a little kid...

Parents are not superior beings that are immune to retaliation. If another adult strikes you, you have the right to self defense.
