Final Draft

I believe parents should never spank their children. First, off parents spanking can lead to aggression towards children. For example, studies show how children love to imitate those they love and respect. Another example, studies show is that spanking may make them act out more in the long run. Also spanking your children can lead to fear and resentment towards people. For example, research studies have found that 40-50 percent of people, when asked how they felt when spanked, reported they "hated their parent". Another example, is that studies show how fear and resentment keep them from wanting to change their behavior and from learning how to do so. Finally, parents should not spank their children because in the end, it can lead to child abuse. For example, studies show how 85-90 percent of child abuse were attempts to discipline, but in the end got out of control. Another study shows how, spanking after anger can be likely to lead to emotional, mental and physical damage towards the child. So in the end as you see how big of an effect spanking can,be towards a child, why do it?
