​Children tend to be more quiet while being punished.

​Children who were physically punished are more likely to be child bullies, adolescent delinquents, and abusive adults. It can start with their peers, then their significant others, then their children.

​There are 53 nations including all of Nothern Europe where corporal punishment is illegal in other nations. (Berger, 206)
