Spaking Yes or No?

So. I saw on the news that there was a study done on the effects of spanking. (Which i am against completely.) And im going to sum it up. So they said that spanking doesnt work in the long term. and excessive spanking causes some kids to grow up into insecure and depressed adults. doesnt seem like a good thing to me. And it teaches kids that its ok to use violence and anger to solve their problems. Spanking a kid doesnt teach them to good behavior it actually encourages violence. Plus the logic of it is so off. here..I'm gonna hit you because you hit someone else. What? Also i feel that your not really teaching a kid whats right and whats wrong they make descions on whether or not your going to beat them. Thats what I feel but i'm not a parent so.
