As a child, I was beat for doing some stupid things. Now that I'm older, I finally realize why my parents beat me. Many people think that putting kids on timeout or yelling at them is much more productive. But to me, as I grew up. The beatings and yelling, were because I had everything my parents didn't. They wanted me to feel as if, I was living their dream as a kid. Good education, nice house, and nice clothes. They were immigrants and they couldn't have that. They had friends that became poor and thugs. I've seen their friends, they're nice people but they live a rough life because their lives weren't so fortunate. My parents want me to live a good life, because they sacrifice their time during the day, making money, working 12 hours, and barely making it home for dinner, just so I can live a good life with the things I want. Yet I use to think that I. . had a crappy life.My dad beat me, cause he loves me. I remember thinking I was all thug-like and "gangsta" and my dad whooped my a**. He didn't like it. Yet people still criticize the whole "beating concept". What are your opinions
