Kids are getting fat and out of control

our neighbor is facing a 15-25 years for using a belt on his kid


the belt stuck the kids face twice


btw without PAROLE...be careful out there with ya "discipline"

I live in south carolina btw

Sorry, I'm in total agreement about many kids lacking civility, self control, and socialization...all of which are primarily the fault of whoever is raising them. Kids will generally soak up like a sponge the attitudes and behaviors of authority figures like parents (plural or singular), guardians, etc.

And hitting or beating them as a way to get them in line is a sign of your failure as much as theirs. Also doesn't really work. It's OK to occasionally smack a young child on the bum a few times to get their attention, never OK to hit, beat, whip a young or older child...never. If a teacher or principal physically assaulted my child, they would pay dearly.

I grew up with an Italian family and I got wooden spoons across the head if I acted up.

I think we should go back to discipling our kids and teaching what’s right and wrong.

beating your children, even older children is a big traditional southern thing. Up north, when all the blacks came up from the south in the 60s, 70s, we all noticed how brutal thet were with their children, and hyper sensitive to perceived slights, 'disrespect', etc. I'm not saying no one up north ever beat their children, but it certainly isn'r accepted the way it commonly is in the south.

Adults have been getting fat, morbidly obese for sonetime now, and "out of control". Kids are just catching up.

Take away most or all of the prescription drugs many of these adults and kids are on, cold turkey, and sober them the fuck up. Deny them subsidized or free heathcare unless an absolute emergency. Penalize them in other fashions. A lot of this obesity problem we have is related to prescription drugs, in addition to lifestyle, our autocentric culture, leading to a very sedentary lifestyle.

Children (and adults) are fat today due to the following (and maybe more):

-corn syrup
-GMO foods
-hormones in food
-artificial sweeteners
-antibiotics and other prescription drugs such as antidepressants

You don't get an explosion of obesity in 30-40 years without having our food adulterated.

If our food produced normal human energy when eaten, our children would naturally go running and playing. But our food promotes fatigue and lethargy.

Because every single thing you do, even things that are remotely out of your control, is awesome.

Is that it?

lolololololololololololololol

Gotta be the most pretentious neckbeard on the internet.

This is a pretty good thread with lots of info

Thanks everyone

You know how they say traits skip a generation?

I've never thought of myself that way but if the things stated in the OP are considered abuse then I am abusive and intend to stay that way!

In truth I've not has to spank my son often because he was taught from a young age that there will be consequences for bad behavior. He's now nearly a foot taller and has about 20 lbs on me but I can guarantee you he knows I'll still get a belt and whoop that bottom.

Yes, I used things like time out and I explained to him why something he had done was wrong but I also gave him a spanking if he needed it.

I work with a local food pantry that sees all sort of people, many of them bring their children along when they visit. I can't tell you how often a child is doing something they shouldn't, something potentially dangerous and the parent will look at you and say, "well I asked him to stop" You ASKED him to stop? Seriously? Then a volunteer has to sternly tell this kid to stop what they are doing and the parent gets pissed at the volunteer for interfering. It's no wonder why kids act the way they do.

LOL, I treated her like a queen. Hired her a maid when she stopped cleaning. She's a mental case, it noting I did or didn't do. She's been married and divorced again since then and is currently living with another guy and his kids in her house...it won't be long and they will get married too I bet and then she'll stop putting on the act..."blank space" for sure.

Kids are fat because sodas and TV games are available. Period!!!!!!!!! No creativity in their lives for how to live without those materialistic supports.

Before TV games they played outside, used imagination and some talent, and had social structure. Now they are blobs for the computer.

Instead of hey guys lets go to johnny's house, it's like, nah I'll sit on the couch and text johnny. No exercise in between communications.

i agree.
i look at my little brother who is fat and lazy and im like wtf.
he'll sit on the video games all fucking day long and doesnt ever go outside.
when i was his age, 13, i would never be inside the house and growing up i had all the video games.
outside was the place to be.
exploring, playing sports, or just hanging out.
in all weather and everything.
building snow forts
playing football in the rain
baseball, soccer and basketball when its sunny
skateboarding.
riding bikes all over the place, far off distances.
mom and dad having to come search for me when it started to get dark bc we didnt have cell phones then.
now these kids are so fucking lazy its insane.
all they do is sit on their cell phones, ipads, or video games all day and dont do shit.
this current generation is fucked.
im so glad im an 80's baby.

No if he is really intelligent he questions his parents but doesn't blindly follow everything they say so that the parents can dominate over them. It really depends if the parents is a dumb dumb or not.

You had primary custody of your kids right?

Intelligent children should honor thy parents no matter what. You've been brainwashed to think you don't need to respect any authority, and that's sad.

Yeah, when she left, she left the kids, house, and everything, she just took off. So I raised them.

That alone speaks volumes. You win!

Who the Hell are You op Shelly Obama ???

Parents are the most entitled bunch of libcontards ever. They want everything on a silverplate but dont want to have to deal with anything all at the same time.

im not even sure that kids are getting fat. they probably just lowered the scale of obesity so that more would fall in the just right for intervention at cost sweet spot.

At our school it was the Varsity Football Coach that administered the 'licks'... the principal was a noodle-armed sissy.

But the Coach would put your ass through a wall... swung that paddle like Hank Aaron.

Today was National Doughnut Day!

no joke.

LOL Here's my negotiation: "You have to the count of three to cut that crap out or I'm taking your (insert favorite toy/game/device here) away for a month!" And I do it too. Always follow through. Then they take you seriously. Most times I only have to start counting. They know exactly what that means. Usually never have to get past 1.

I think they should bring back footbinding in china. watsup with ppl changing from the traditional way of doing things?

LOL Great image!

It's the baby boomers who are narcissistic pricks.

Next generation might be first to live a shorter life.

Avoid corn syrup and processed foods.

Feed a family of 5 for $12 at McDonald's...

So many fat kids in my daughters elementary school. Sad.
