It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behavior to children?

It is true that kids and teenagers are influenced by many factors when they are in the developmental stage. In my opinion, I strongly believe that kids and teenagers should be taught the correct values when they are small,

as well as

physical punishment is needed to aid in preventing them to make mistakes again. Of the reasons why is vital to teach

youngsters

to differentiate the issues of right or wrong when they are still at young

age

, probably the most significant reason is that adolescents are easily affected by their peers. Teens are still at a tender

age

, they may not be capable to differentiate right or wrong and are susceptible to peer influences. Gaining peer recognition, they may practice in the wrong ways to avoid losing attention from their friends.

For example

, many juveniles who commit crimes are forced by their friends at a young

age

,

as well as

they mostly grow up without proper parental guidance and with bad performances at school. After being jailed or detained, they need to obey some strict rules compulsory, which in turn them to understand and learn from the disciplines and which is telling them to stop that illegal behaviour. With

this

in mind,

this

indicates that

youngsters

are easily affected by their peers and the

punishments

which serve as an alarm to stop their wrong actions. Despite teaching the right values to

youngsters

, never should we overlook that methods of punishment are used for children. In my opinion, I believe that we should use physical

punishments

in order to prevent them from making mistakes again. Physical

punishments

like being hit by their parents or detained after class may produce a remarkable impression on

youngsters

. Those

punishments

are educating teens not to do badly again and serving as a guide to be a good person.

For example

, when pupils are being late at school, teachers usually ask them to stay behind after school, and some parents might hit their children for punishment. Opting out of punishing repeatedly, students may avoid breaking rules in order to prevent being punished. Those penalties issued by parents and teachers are reminding the teens to reminisce that they shouldn’t participate wrongly again in the future. Under

this

line of thinking,

due to

teenagers and children being easily affected by peers, it is better to have proper guidance toward them at an early

age

. Physical penalties, meanwhile, may illustrate a huge impression that leads to obeying the rules.
