I havent been spanked a single time in my life and I never cuss at my parents.
I dont get in fights with them as I know they are reasonable.
Sometimes they tell me to do something and I just dont want to do it but then usually its something I know is actually right and i will do it anyway.
I do have this "feel" that I dont want to do something because they say so... Cuz I want to make my own decisions...
Its like when they tell me to do my homework already, I dont want to even while I might have gone right at it if they havent sayd anything... just some adolescent will for independance I suppose.
Anyway, i`m 16, never been spanked in my life and ive been spoilt and overtolerated but I never vandalise stuff, or disrespect people, or pick fights for the sake of it, or nick stuff, while many people i know who did get spanked do.
