1. I was spanked as a child
1.1. I remember how agressive my mother was when it came to dicipline. It was like her spanking me made her feel powerful, and was a way for her to take her anxiety on me.
1.2. Being spanked brought on a lot of negative feelings that made me resent my mother. It was humiliating and painful. I didn't like to be around my mother because I was in fear of her hurting me.
1.3. Being spanked never actually stopped me from doing what my parents didn't want me to. It made me more resourceful. I didn't learn why what I was doing was wrong through being spanked.

2. Sitting in class, someone compared spanking to child abuse and said they were not the same.
2.1. I questioned if this was legit
2.1.1. Both what is considered "child abuse" and spanking involve inflicting physical pain upon a child through aggressive behavior
2.1.2. Both child abuse and spanking destroy the relationship between a child and their parents
2.1.3. If an adult was "spanked" suddenly by another adult, in the street or even in a more professional environment, they could sue for battery.
