How Spanking Affected You

When I was in 4th grade I recall one paddling that happened at recess. I saw a gathering around the 3rd grade room door and asked what was going on, and was told that the principal was going to paddle a boy, and had gone to get a paddle. Sure enough, in another minute or so he reappeared and proceeded into the room. The crowd of kids silently but quickly parted as the came through and by, and then immediately closed back in, covering up the doorway (but not breaking the barrier). The principal made this boy bend over the top of one of the student desks at the front of row, and gave him a few licks. Since I was a late arriver, I couldn't actually see very well because of all of those in front of me.

Always an interesting topic! I was never spanked as a child, except one time when my mother smacked my leg one time. I also remember her smacking my brother's leg three times. And she threatened me several of times, once with a hairbrush, once with a switch, once "in front of everyone." But she didn't believe in it and neither did my father.

Once I got in trouble in highschool. I always wonder if I avoided the paddle b/c my parents told them not to spank me. I wondered if my dad would finally take his belt to me, but of course he didn't.

I have been obsessed with spanking since my earliest memories at age 3. My interests are almost identical to those of a friend of mine who was severely spanked at home. I tend to think it's hardwired somehow.

I also want to mention that I turned out "just fine." I'm hard-working, thoughtful, self-disciplined, responsible, successful, etc.
