abuse?

[Xxzero412xx]

is it abuse for my mom to hit me with a wooden spoon and threatning me if i get a bad grade?

How does she threaten you?
How often does it happen?

[JoshDude]

Well, in Australia, its illegal for a parent to hit their children above the shoulders, or with any weapon, including kicking. So I would say its abuse, unless its a one off thing.

i did get bad grades and shes gonna kill me when she sees
no kill but beat me cause she said she would

I think if it gets to the point of excessive beating or beatings that are hard enough to leave you with bruises,cuts etc then I would say its abuse.

She might threaten you, to scare the living daylights out of you.
But, if its an everyday thing, then it probably can be considered as abuse.

Hmmm... iono my friends mom broke a wooden spoon on both her children. Still it might be abuse.

i'm not sayin its ok but in the olden days like 50 years ago hitting ur kid w/ a wooden spoon was acceptable... so it depends but if its only once or twice i don't think it qualifies abuse. but idk
