Should I stop spanking my 15yo son?
Answer:
I think you have to do what you think is right. I would try to find other methods at that age, but that's just my opinion. I don't have teens yet, but the plan is to not use spanking anymore when they turn that age.
Good Luck
Yes.15 is way too old.You're teaching him to be violent...
ahhh yeah! Try some other kind of punishment this kid is almost an adult!
wow, I'm surprised he didn't punch you in self defense!
Be careful. He may beat *your* ***.
YES. STOP. spanking is supposed to stop when someone is a teenager. ground them instead.
While I agree with you, alternate punishments may be a good idea. Take away TV or video game privileges or something like that.
yeah that really is too old
THREE years and he's an adult man
don't know why he doesnt respond and fight back...
at 10 you should've ended
that's a bit shameful
do you have a fetish
Yes. Does your parent sill do it to you? If not, then apparently there is an age limit, don't ya think?
15? Do you really think he'll change his behavior to what you want if you just spank him? If you want to teach him something, you need to think things through a little more thouroughly.
that's a joke, right? if it is, it's hilarious. if not, then, listen to your son and maybe see a counselor.
Yes, he is too old. It is degrading. You can punish him in other ways by taking away his tv, nintendo, computer time, or ground him.
In some cases I think 15 is a lil to old...but back talking and stuff like that..smack him in the mouth...But nows a good age to begin taking things away..my lil brother is 16 and my parents fav. thing to do is take the car away and stuff like that..so maybe begin to punish him that way. But he'd probably rather have the spanking..
I can't remeber the last time my dad spanked me was, but I know at 15 there were no more spankings, now grounding on the other hand that was different. I remember there was a time that I got grounded from one grade card to the next...man that was a long time.
I don't think spanking a 15 yo is wrong, it all depends on the child. If he still reacts to spank sure go for it, but most teens could rather not have them but could care less (in the punishment department.)
I don't think so only if he feels humiliated by it you can try taking things away from him like games,computer, tv,phone etc.
15 is too old to be spanking. He's 3 years shy of being an adult. At this point you should be able to use your words to get your message across. If we all started beating on each other when we're trying to get our point across. The thought is too scary to put into words. Good luck to you.
I'm thinkin that when they are big enough to turn around and whip you, they're too old.
Seriously, don't you think you can come up with something better? Spanking a 15 year old goes deeper than spanking a 5 year old. It's humilating and degrading, treating him like a baby.
your still spanking your 15 year old son? ummm.thats kinda strange...if you are still beating him at 15 does that mean he is like emotionally immature...why dont you come up with a better punishment for his age..like taking privlages away. but spanking your son at 15 is probably not gonna do much. FIND A DIFFERENT PUNISHMENT!
I would suggest that if you hadn't worked that out yourself yet, then he's probably more mature than you are. Stop the spankings and ask for his advice in your life instead.
There are SO many other ways to communicate with a 15 year old, and he can surely be reasoned with and other consequences thought of that do NOT require physical punishment. Look for a Parent Effectiveness Training seminar, or order the book NOW. You will get some very practical help in working with your son. Please do this, or see a social worker or therapist for some worthwhile coaching. As another participant mentioned, you are teaching your son to be violent, and that "might makes right", neither of which our society or this planet needs to be brought forth. Congrats on bringing this to light!
yes, that is to old if you want him to be responsible treat him responsibly . take away other privileges make sure he knows the consequences when he does not follow your rules
15 OMG plz quit spanking him he is way to old
NO
LIGHT HIS @$$ UP WITH A BELT
(if he steps out of line)

I never spanked my 12yo son. Seems to do fine. But I was able to spend a lot of time with him growing up. still do. mostly time and talking, being real. Honesty, open. All adds up. Explain why works much better than a vague no.
you have to understand, no one is going to be thier to spank your child when he goes out into the big wide world, at some point it needs to stop and he needs to learn self discipline, so spanking should end in the early teens, 15 is now getting to old
Well, Im fourteen and in my opinion, its Def too old for spanking! i dont think Ive gotten a butt spanked for at least like 7 years:( sorry to break it to ya, but yeah, way too old
Yea, he is way too old, You better stop because one of these days he is going to be really pissed off at you and just knock you out..lol!
yes
OMG YES
Probably more wounded by loss of priveleges...No television for a week
no internet for a month,
No video games for 2 weeks.
ETC. I'd respect that the kid is being honest with you.
how sad. why would there still be a need to spank him if good old fashion butt whoppins worked? learn how to actually parent and prepare your child for adulthood by teaching him self-discipline.
