These days people are extremely oversensitive when it comes to children, ofcourse its not right to hit or intimidate them for every misdeed they make, but seriously if a kid keeps acting like shit and wont listen to you when you attempt to discipline them over and over again you should be allowed to give them a small slap or intimidate them in a way that affects their ego negatively, atleast then they would have a reason not to act like shit towards the community, because as it is now most youth know that they could do almost whatever they want without getting just plain ludicrous punishment if any at all, An example from my old school, ''Student1 kicks the teacher in the back making him almost fall down the stairs the teacher gets angry and takes a light grip on the 15 year old student and tells him to never do that again if he knows what's best for him.'' Guess what he was fired for disciplining the brat because of violent behaviour or something, i mean seriously aren't you even allowed to stand up against these little shitheads anymore? This subject has bugged me a long time aswell since we all can see how many youths/children who lacks any form of discipline are running around doing whatever they want without getting any proper punishment. for example in sweden a 16 - 17 old boy murdered a 16 year old girl along with his girlfriend what did they get? 1,5 years on youthtreatment, a fine example on how much a life is worth these days. I hate today's overprotection to the children and espically the youth which should be able to grasp reality, because i know most of them know whats right and wrong but sometimes ignores it since they can get away with it since they are ''young and stupid'' Intimidation is not the main way to go but if every other attempt to discipline them fails it could be just that what they need, a good reason to not @%&! up for other people even if it hurts their poor ego. Maybe in some years all kind of discipline will be forbidden i would honestly not be surprised. This is my personal opinion and view of todays society in sweden.
