Survey 8: Does your mom/dad hitting you classify as abuse? (or do you take it as a type of affection)
📊 Survey Summary

This thought-provoking survey asked whether physical discipline from a parent is considered abuse or affection. A majority—60%—answered Yes, acknowledging that being hit by a parent does constitute abuse. This response highlights growing awareness around healthy boundaries, even within families.
However, 40% said No, possibly reflecting cultural norms, generational beliefs, or personal interpretations where physical discipline is viewed as a form of care or correction.
The results reflect a societal shift where more individuals are beginning to differentiate between discipline and harm, and are recognizing the long-term emotional and psychological impact such actions may cause.
