Study: Spanked Children May Grow Up to Be Happier, More Successful
Now there’s a headline I never expected to see in main stream media. I know this is hottly debated, but I’ll say one thing on the matter: I remember being spanked–once, and that’s all it took. And I must say also that I turned out just fine, thank you very much.

Young children spanked by their parents may grow up to be happier and more successful than those who have never been hit, a study has found.
According to the research, children spanked up to the age of 6 were likely as teenagers to perform better at school and were more likely to carry out volunteer work and to want to go to college than their peers who had never been physically disciplined.
But children who continued to be spanked into adolescence showed clear behavioral problems.
