Why Are Parents Afraid to Discipline Their Children?

Question by Myles: Why are parents afraid to discipline their children?
You see these things on tv about teens addicted to drugs, getting pregnant,etc. Let me tell you this. If I got out of line, my parents beat my a ss, and they didn’t care what my excuse was. If I did any of the stuff teenagers do today, I would’ve been disowned at this point.

Why should teenagers be able to argue with their parents? A teens brain is not even fully developed, and they’re going to ignore what their parents tell them? How can kids be so stupid?
A parent occasionally hitting their kids is not abuse. It’s showing them who’s boss.

Answer by JD
Because their parents are equally stupid, duhhhh. just because your brain is developed doesn’t mean they are smart, so many stupid parents in the world.
