“It hurts and is painful inside – it's like breaking your bones; it's strong, it hurts and stings; it sounds like you were adopted or something and are not part of their family; you feel like you don't like your parents anymore; you feel angry because they hurt you and you love them so much, and then all of a sudden they hit you and you feel like they don't care about you” (Pritchard 9). These are the feelings of those minors who suffer from corporal punishment. Corporal punishment has been a major research topic in psychology in recent decades. Even though people believed, “Spare the rod and spoil the child,” but in the current age of science, research has revealed that corporal punishment causes more harm to children instead of having a positive effect on them. According to UNICEF, “corporal punishment is actually the use of physical measures that cause pain but not injury, as a means of imposing discipline” (1). It includes spanking, squeezing, slapping, pushing and hitting with hands or other instruments such as belts, etc. But it is different from physical abuse where punishment causes injury and the goal is different from teaching discipline. Although corporal punishment is considered a way of teaching discipline and quick compliance, however, it leads to breakdown of parent-child relationship, poor mental health of minors, moral internalization along with their antisocial and aggressive behavior and is against the morality of human beings. Young people are just like naive “B cells of the body”; they learn from everything they encounter. They learn from the people around them and put into practice what they are taught by their drivers.
