Just to be clear on what you are saying, is your position that mental health today is less of a problem than in past as a whole in US population? :jbhmm:

I'm saying that society today is much more accepting of mental struggles today than they were in the days past so there is no actual way to quantify if it is more or less of a problem today. People now feel more comfortable speaking on it so it seems like its more of an issue but that's not necessarily the case.

When a parent allows their child to cry, perhaps even talking and comforting the child, it confuses people. Why are you not whooping this little brat acting up like this? They don't understand the science behind this.

Kid is in fact learning how to cry.

He's disappointed he can't get this new video game. He's crying and bawling. Mother apologizes. Promises she'll get the game soon. He's still crying. But you can't possinly cry forever. Eventually he comes out of it. He feels a natural relief. He moves on and waits for the game.

Now he's an adult. He no longer cares about video games. Now the stakes are higher. Being "disappointed" means something like your girlfriend cheating on you...

He feels anger. He feels rage. He calls a close friend. He talks. He expresses his anger. He breaks down and cries over the phone. They talk for hours. He feels relief. In due time and with the help of people to continue talking to, he comes to terms with the circumstances, and moves on.

The flip side...

Kid is disappointed he can't get this new video game. He begins crying. Mother beats him and threatens to beat him more if he continues. He holds it in while his body shakes. Crying is bad. Expressing your feelings is bad. Violence is ok. Eventually he comes out of it. He feels no relief. He moves on and waits for the game.

Now he's an adult. Tough guy. Doesnt express feelings. Prone to anger. Will fukk you up if you disrespect him. Girlfriend cheats on him...

He feels anger. He feels rage. He fears talking about it and thinks crying and expressing emotions is "wrong." He stabs his wife and lover to death. He feels relief.


There is a science behind parenting. There's a reason we always consider the childhood and parenting of murderers and killers and sociopaths. And there's a reason the story is always the same. A combination of a both "protective," isolated and abusive household. But I guess that's all contrived BS now.

I thought it was poverty and disenfranchisement.

Very last resort for me and my kids. My oldest who’s 15 I stopped 4 years ago. My youngest who’s ten last got that work over a year ago. I try everything I can think of before it gets to the belt. Make sure to review why I’m doing it before with them and after. Really hate doin it, can’t lie. But sometimes it’s necessary after you’ve tried all other means for them to get it together. And I 100% make sure they know they are loved and I tell them as well. Don’t mean I won’t give ‘em some akrite if necessary tho
How do you review it?

Aight u see this belt, this is going upside your ass because you refuse to understand what is right in this current situation. These are the factors that have contributed to this moment: A.. insubordination B.. etc etc.. now son do you understand? Yes sir I understand. Ok now prepare yourself …. ******

I guess that could be said for many things but looking around seems like alot more people are having mental issues diagnosed and not. And seems to be getting worse rapidly, I think its becoming a crisis because the powers that be see the track we are on, they see prescription use even in last 10 years is up or how kids and teens are being affected.

I have them tell me why they are about to get that work.
Ask them how many opportunities I gave them to get right.
Have them tell me all the other things i've done before it got this point.


When it's done,
We go back over it again and they tell me how they are going to avoid this in the future.


Not that hard.


Again, it's RARE that I have to and I purposely make it a last resort. Also warn them constantly that if they keep doing the same dumb shyt, me going upside their ass with Mr Akrite will the result. And extending their punishment. Do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do.

Worse thing I do to my oldest now if knock him in his chest. Even the lil one if he being outright disrespectful and not listening, but getting physical isn't something I want to have them do as a first resort. And more importantly, I tell and explain that to them.

a little can go a long way.

the key is to not do it out of anger
and not use it as a crutch.
its like a last line of defense

my youngest son is the most overdramatic ass nikka there is. One time I had to give him dat work (he was 5 and acting completely ridiculous).

So I go in his room and start whuppin his ass. Then it goes COMPLETELY off the rails.

- after the first 2 chops on his leg, he says "AHHHHHHH, THE BIBLE SAID YOU SHOULD FORGIVE!!!" (he's a private church school). I'm like nikka what :dahell: as I'm trying to contain laughter.
- after the next 2 chops, he falls on the floor and starts rolling around. I'm like :martin:

- next 2 chops, this nikka has the audacity to bust out "AWW DADDY YOU KILLIN ME, I'M DYING, I'M DYING....MY MY MY BUTT FELL OFF!! MY BUTT FELL OFF"

- I immediately stop. turn around looking at my wife as we both are trying our hardest to hold in our laugh. I had to leave and stop just for the sake of me keeping my composure from not busting out laughing.

- after like 10 minutes, I call him downstairs to do our review on why I had to give him dat work and he's using a damn baseball bat limping and shyt walking towards me. All I could do is :martin: and told him just goto damn bed. Of course the next morning at his soccer game this nikka lookin like Geechie Pele and shyt. :rudy:

Do you honestly believe these black kids doing smash and grabs, assaulting teachers, and shooting aren’t getting beaten at home? Most black kids have gotten spanked and beaten across every socio economic status. Clearly, it’s not working.



This generation of black children does NOT get whipped.

Exactly. If they had a dad in the home they were scared of, those kids ain't gonna be punching and slapping teachers. Most of them kids are coming from single mother households where lil man is treated as 'man of the house' or momma isn't treating daughter like daughter, but is trying to compete with her daughter for the attention. When you take the disciplinarian out who is the man, chaos like you see today ensues.
