Beat Writer  Posts: 183 Joined: 5 Apr 2008  | All i can say is that it's a combination of all three. The way a kid reacts to the parents treatment of them is different for each person is different, plus their own personal experiences also shape their personalities. The fact is, you can't just point the finger at any one person. |
Muckraker  Posts: 255 Joined: 24 Apr 2008  | It's usually the parents, though not always. Sometimes it's the people the kid hangs out with which become a negative influence on them. It only takes one rotten apple to spoil the bunch. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 97 Joined: 14 Aug 2008   | I have to agree, kids don't seem to fear/respect their parents or authority these days. It's gotten worse though in my opinion. And I thought I'd throw this one on there as well, from the car link. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 207 Joined: 7 Feb 2008 | Wow, I just saw those. Now I know what the Muslims mean by the whole 'honor killing' thing. If I spawned a child like this, I'd smash its head against a rock. |
Muckraker  Posts: 263 Joined: 23 Jun 2008 | I say parents, although the blame isn't completely on them (society's failings, etc). But still, politically correct or not, I think you should be able to beat your kids if they end up being spoiled little #$*%-ers. I've met some kids that could use a serious beat-down, but in this day and age it doesn't matter what the parent does, they'll end up in jail. It's a fine line, but it should be walked. EDIT:
Christ, I pray that's fake... Loved the captions though. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2059 Joined: 6 Aug 2008   | Look up Maddox mission/ The best page in the universe on the best parenting method. I blame parents, i'm respectful and in general polite to all people because i was raised properly (i act up i get smacked in the back of the head/boot up the arse) only way to raise kids or they become disrespectful little shits. I know heaps of kids who have please don't do that parents and they are all fucked up little c^nts, compared to the kids who parents didn't take shit who are well adjusted and hard working. Read some of the earlier posts, i do think the child changes themselves into dickheads but only when the parents are over/under strict and the child/ren either ignore or take advantage of their parents. This being said if you raise a kid right they might f^ck up their lives but there's less chance of it happening. |

... kind of as long as it isn't abusive, like a smack to the head is ok, a boot is not. |

Then educate her again. tadaa! Contributing member to society. If it fails, do the same thing, but don't reclaim her this time. |

Copy Clerk Posts: 97 Joined: 14 Aug 2008 | Don't forget the 'withholding love' option as well, so many people immediately jump to the physical punishment and forget about the psychological side of discipline. For instance maybe once or twice a year while they're in grade school don't make them a lunch or give them money for lunch that way they'll know who has the power. |

lol. I've never heard that one, but thanks I guess. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 429 Joined: 4 Jun 2008 | It's hard to point a finger at any one person, it's probably a mixture of the parents, the individual and (sometimes) their friends. I remember when I got my 360 (it was a christmas present) I actually remember saying 'thank you' rather than breaking down into tears because I didn't get the limited edition Halo 3 version with 5 games, I suppose thats a natural side effect of having everything (i.e: you take it for granted). What ever happened to angry mobs? (that would sort it out). |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 663 Joined: 23 Jul 2008 | Is it just me or is it that we need to set ground rules? I mean really they take a cookie, you break their leg...what the fuck man? All I got were time outs, a spanking if it were really bad, and that was it and but my parents also were relateable, I felt comfortable talking to them about problems or life in general. But you shouldn't just let your kids go off all nimbly bimbly either |

I often wonder if that's less an attitude, or more of a kind of secret resentment as to how you yourself were treated. Much like the oft spoken: I had to walk five miles in the pouring rain to get to school. [sarcasm]After all, because I had it tough as a kid, -of course- my children should know the pain I went through [/sarcasm]. That'll teach em' That said. Fear and violence have been shown to be reasonably effective tools of control, although, not my own first choice personally. And eventually, it just turns into resentment, especially if no explanation is given as to -why- the child is being punished. If you feel the need to disipline your child this way, then at the very least make them understand why. Second...on the notion of bringing anger to the table. It helps neither party. And more often then not is wasted anger. Example: Let's say a child is reaching up to the counter for a glass (old enough that they can already use it of course) and drops it, smashing it. Upon hearing this, the parent yells at the child, slaps them hard on the hand and sends them to their room. Now, what is the lesson here? That all mistakes no matter how minor are wrong, and an intentional thing on the part of the child to cause trouble? And further, this has upset the parent too, although one may wonder exactly -why- the parent would react this way to a broken glass, which under any other circumstance would be mild annoyance (presumably). And, that example above I've seen many many times, both from my own point of view, seeing it happen to my siblings, and in other families. Always, minor things like that. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 80 Joined: 28 Apr 2008 | Who said anything about beating them when angry? I'm all for randomly smacking them and just saying "I know what you did." Seriously, you only hit them when they do something wrong that NEEDS to be corrected. You don't hit them for spilling milk unless they stand there with the container pouring it on the floor. You don't beat them for wrecking the car, you beat them for drinking and driving. And I believe in the let them learn themselves as long as it won't disfigure/kill them school. |

Okay that post was disturbing. for one your daughter could have been killed and two pain and fear is what disfigure/kill them MENTALLY. So if you let your daughter do that stuff pally, get ready to pay for funeral. All of you if you have kids punish them by taking away tv and computer permission. Trust me I came home with some bad grades and I wasn't allowed to go on the computer or my ps2 for a month. hek yeah i paid more attention in school. and if their little kids have a "naughty" chair or something and btw those 2 videos made me want to throw my computer out a window lol |
Muckraker  Posts: 245 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 | I respect the right of a parent to give their kid a good old slap across the face. |

Don't be a fool and buy into that suburban bullshit. Humans have strong willpower and an instance of pain will teach a child well. It is what the evolutionary instance of learning is about: Something gives you pain- don't do it. Sheltering a child is almost the worst thing for a parent to do and it is why our society is so messed up. |
Paperboy Posts: 26 Joined: 20 Aug 2008 | I think that society and parental failure combine to cause a brat. I also think that the type of people that brats associate with contribute |
Beat Writer  Posts: 199 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 | I got 2 little brothers, joe(12) and vinny(3). Joe is an obnoxious, annoying bastard who barly respects our parents, annoys me to the point of me having to make a choice between breaking his stuff or his skull, and he watchs spongebob almost every day which annoys me because our computor is in the same room as the TV and it really gets annoying to lisen to(he's even watching it right now!). Vinny isn't that bad except that joe tells him to do things like to throw things at me or shut off the TV while in watching it, which is very frustrating because I can't hit him. The thing with joe seems to be that my parents never yelled at him loud enough. my parents never hit me but if I annoyed them enough then i would get yelled at pretty badly which at the time scared me. for example when we were all driving to my grandparents house and I wouldn't stop saying "I don't want to go to grandma's house" over and over agian until my dad finaly stoped the car got out, pulled me out and yelled into my face "say it one more god damned time and im gona leave you here!!!". needless to say that I never complained about going anywhere with them agian. Though aparently nothing like this happened to my little brother because we all just learned to live with him being a jackass for most of the day. also one of the things that really piss me off about him is that he WILL NOT answer the phone unless it is someone he wants to talk to, and even if he is the only person in the room he will just let it ring and yell for me to get it no matter what im doing. |
There are some kids that piss me off. from this:
