44 things adults of today were punished (beaten) for as kids
The odd publication is about 44 things adults of today were punished (beaten) for as kids.
The views held by many that today’s children and the youth have not experienced what punishment really is may be right if you belong to that old generation.
20 to 30 years ago, children were beaten for the slightest things, ranging from crying for no reason to watching an adult in the eyes (eyeball to eyeball)
The list of 44 things adults of today were punished for in the past when they were children may sound funny but the JEC Tribune list tells it all.
For the adults of today, these so-called offenses of the past for which you were beaten at home will bring fond memories and make you laugh.
