A lady was correcting a her daughter(5-6years) and the girl was like 'sssshhhh' to her mum, meaning keep quiet. My neighbors kids goes to school with atleast 5 pencils weekly. That age, you need to show my dad your pencil/biro everyday. Failure to do so, you lie down on the centre table. When i was in secondary school, moving to higher class, my dad will you give text books previously used by elder bro/sis. He will just tipex the First&Middle name, leaving the surname. He's going to document all the textbooks given to you, so that when you're promoted to another class, you will also handover the textbooks you used for that session back to him. He will be ticking. Also you will be given a pack of 60leaves note books + 5pens. When you need another notebook or pen, you must show the exhausted ones. 358 Likes 19 Shares |

viyon02:Even some of those who were extremely disciplined back then still ended up bad. It was moderate then. Now, it's worse! School kids are cultists, kids are smoking colorado, everyone is on the fast money lane, standards are getting fuvcked everyday, there's law but no justice. And lastly, fuvck the police. 71 Likes 2 Shares |

Uncle Goodman, my primary 4 teacher back then in Primary school. After screaming for the owners of the names on the list of 'names of noise makers' to come out to the front of the class (I was among them of course). Gifting us six strokes each on the palm. The girls and some boys that where not in the 'strong man' gang collected their own strokes, not without returning some screams of pain back to uncle Goodman. For us the strong men, after investing six strokes of his cane on our palms with no ROI (crying), Uncle Goodman still flogged us for not crying. When we cried, he still flogged us for crying. 88 Likes 5 Shares |

Those days were the"Beating Age"... Now it is spoiling age... since parents started to spare the rod due to excessive pressing of phone and snapping picture. It is said "People buy things they don't need with money they don't have, to impress people they don't like" 52 Likes 3 Shares |

I remember the day my dad gave me a resounding slap. He woke me up as he was preparing for work very early in the morning. So I wasn't happy. I stood before him, looking into his eyes with anger, as he was assigning me some duties to do after school. The next thing I heard was "ta"! On my cheek. That was the last I looked into his eyes when he's talking. 63 Likes 1 Share |

But we were abused in all of these just because we are kids and we do not have true relationship with our parents . We felt humiliated, we hated our parents. This unnecessary beating is responsible for the high rate.of dysfunctional adults we have . We carry this burden of guilt and not knowing how to love truly or maintain healthy relationship with people . Today I discipline my kids and do not beat them for every 'error' I mostly admonish and it works and we have close relationship. We the millennials guide and discipline in understanding while still maintaining good relationship with our kids . Our parents do not seek to understand they themselves are broken so they try to fix their own brokenness by breaking us even. The cycle continues , but a new breed of parents are cropping up. But we must create a balance for we can break a child when scolding and discipline is absent for "allowing " a child to do whatever all in a bid to show love and understanding is dangerous in itself. 75 Likes 13 Shares |
