I lied to my mom like crazy, but she didn't hit me until I was a bit older, like 13. I think some kids are just liars, like me.

I was hit by my aunts though, because they were the ones who took care of me. They used belts or other things, but I never feared, or disliked them for it. I hated the hitting and pain for sure, but I knew it was my own fault anyway. They never hit me out of anger.

My mom hit me out of anger though. When I was 14, I took the car out and got it stuck in a flood. The flood water seeped into the car. I eventually got back (the car was fine aside from being dirty), she came barreling towards me at the front door with my "arnis" (wooden stick) and started hitting me with it in front of my friends. It was embarassing, but I got over it.

I don't think I will hit my own child though, unless she is ugly. If she was cute, she would be treated like a princess. Boys should be thrown off a cliff.

Oh god forbid shinta has a kawaii daugher.

Why? He'll shower her with love.

My mum actually started to stop hitting me when I was 13, in contrast. I just got too old for it.

They'd always make me promise not to do it again, and then call me a liar when I do it again? What am I meant to say at a waving stick? No?

Oh God...

A picture tells a thousand words. And I'm not typing that.

Just shinta time and a cute daughter. Then you can see for yourselves.



As for the latest news link..

"
Sixteen year-olds need to be focused on their education, future careers, enjoying friendships, acquiring sports or musical skills, and most of all, developing their own personal identities.
They are in no way, shape or form ready to get married to anyone, least of all someone more than three times their age."

Why not? Who's to dictate when the mature marrying age is.. In Australia we can marry when you're 16, regardless of the parents' thoughts on the matter.

Maybe you were an intelligent and level headed 16 year-old.

I assure you, that is not the norm.
