You have to be kidding me. Just visit this site and see for yourself:

you have a problem, I think you were abused at school and you are denying the reality every day of your life. Accept it! If you don't you will never move on ...
*Now I'm going to tell you something: My sister lives in Canada. I have two cousins. Boy and girl. My sister had to spend 5 years in Africa with a team of developers hored by an african government to develop a telecom project. It was excellent money she couldn't refuse. I lved in the UK from 1980 to 1999. In 1985 she asked me to find out where she could board both kids for 5 years. They were 11 and 13 at the time. I found a few schools in the Midlands and this superb school in Jersey. They spent the rest of their high school in Jersey, loved it and today are sucessfull professionals, one in Belgium, the other in London. They were both caned on the bottom and often rullered across the hands. And they tell me it was hard and it hurt like hell, and it wasn't just a few times and it lasted all the way until they got their IB's (the International Bacaluareat which is the world's best high school diploma kids can get - it is dificult to get it since it is similar to a 1st year at University).*
There was no brutality they tell me. It hurt and left marks which made it impossible to sit that day and during the following week made them think whenever they sat in class!
You know what they tell me? they loved the school. The punishments they received were deserved becuase they would either not do the homework, be lazy, etc. they didn't want to return to Canada to graduate. They loved it so much that they are both considering sending their kids to that school as soon as they turn 11. And yes they beleive that discipline by means of CP is a tool, not an opportunity for abuse.
You have a problem, and a very big problem at that. But hey your life honey! [/QUOTE]
