Corporal punishment affects children in their long-run

Corporal punishment is used to fix a child’s behavior with physical punishment. It might change the student’s behavior for just a moment, but it couldn’t last long. Not only that it is temporary, it also brings a child affective in their long-run because of the corporal punishments they have received when they were young. According to a research in the United States, children who have suffered from corporal punishment, as adults they present with disorders such as Stress, Depression, and Anxiety to name just a few. Corporal punishment gives the thought to the child that violence is the most acceptable way in any kinds of issue, lowers self esteem and increases rebellious manners, too. Studies have even shown an elevated risk of heart disease related to childhood punishment. Also, amazingly, corporal punishment lowers a child's IQ: A study at the University of New Hampshire, released in 1998-JUL, found that spanking children apparently slows down their intellectual development. A study of 960 children found an average 4 point reduction in IQ who were corporal punished, from average IQ of 102 (above average) for children who are not corporal punished, to an average IQ 98 (below average) for who are. A reduction of 4 points is enough to have a significant negative functional effect on the students. Many struggle their entire lives to engage in healthy satisfying relationships and sadly, when they become parents themselves, they often use the same way to discipline their children as the ones that have received when they were young. Adolescents who receive physical punishment are three times more likely to grow up to abuse their own children, according to Straus. The study by Straus, an American reporter, found that 7 percent of never-spanked adolescents grow up to abuse their children, compared to 24 percent of those who were spanked. It should be noted, however, that the vast majority of people, whether or not they received physical punishment, are unlikely to abuse their children. Also, it could have the child learn ‘violence’. To support my comment, Comments by Parents and Teachers Against Violence in Education (PTAVE) from their website at www.NoSpank.net: "Spanking does for a child's development what wife-beating does for a marriage."In a research, a child who has seen their father hit their mother for many times, have grown up and have put violence upon their wife, too. Also, violence is easily learned through what you see, such as computer games, or by TV programs. Then why not from teachers or from other students who get punished from teachers? In a short run, it could be in a form of bullying, and in a long-run, violence. Even though there is a low percentage of a child becoming violent from corporal punishment, it is wrong to even have the smallest percentage of being able to. Because it gives serious effects to a child in the long-run I believe that corporal punishment should be banned.

Corporal punishment isn't right. children will become aggressive. i saw a video about it, and there were given examples that the consequences of corporal punishment is aggression. Then when children become parent they will beat their children, too.Adults who were hit as children are more likely to be depressed or violent themselves, Corporal punishment is degrading, contributes to feelings of helplessness and humiliation, robs a child of self-worth and self-respect, and can lead to withdrawal or aggression.
