"One of the first such studies linked slapping and spanking in childhood with psychiatric disorders in adulthood in a large Canadian sample, and its findings have since been supported by an ever-growing number of studies. Physical punishment is associated with a range of mental health problems in children, youth and adults, including depression, unhappiness, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, use of d**** and alcohol, and general psychological maladjustment."
(https://www.cmaj.ca/content/161/7/805.short)

"One of the first large prospective studies (1997, n = 807) controlled for initial levels of child antisocial behaviour and sex, family socioeconomic status and levels of emotional support and cognitive stimulation in the home. Even with these controls, physical punishment between the ages of six and nine years predicted higher levels of antisocial behaviour two years later."

"Researchers are also finding that physical punishment is linked to slower cognitive development and adversely affects academic achievement."

"The evidence is clear and compelling — physical punishment of children and youth plays no useful role in their upbringing and poses only risks to their development. The conclusion is equally compelling — parents should be strongly encouraged to develop alternative and positive approaches to discipline."

If I’m mentally ill and get physically abused (not just whoopings) that won’t worsen things?

“I loved getting beat, it was actually dope and doesn’t bother me, in fact it’s good and inherently necessary” is a weird mindset to have

Clearly. But to automatically imply that every child who was beaten as a child for doing bad s*** is traumatized and has issues with their mental health because of it is a reach.

Physical discipline is not child abuse. Some children do not react to the more positive parenting styles and continue to act out. It's almost like every child is wired differently...go figure.
