Now a new study looking at 400,000 youths from 88 countries around the world suggests such bans are making a difference in reducing youth violence. It marks the first systematic assessment of whether an association exists between a ban on corporal punishment and the frequency in which adolescents get into fights.
[F]or both boys and girls, [prof. Elizabeth Gershoff] said, “We found [spanking] linked to more aggression, more delinquent behavior, more mental health problems, worse relationships with parents, and putting the children at higher risk for physical abuse from their parents.”
“People often ask: Why didn’t you look for positive aspects?” she continued. “My answer is: We did, and there were none. We see consistently that the more children are spanked, the more behavioral problems they have in the years ahead.”
Every time I hear about the twilight books the racism gets worse like apparently these are all things that happen:
The native characters are repeatedly described as being red skinned by Meyer
Edward considers massacring the Quileute people for no fucking reason
Bella witnesses Jacob be treated badly by the white vampires, knows it, and does absolutely nothing to stick up for her “friend”
Alice gives Jacob a dog bowl with food in it
Carlisle operates on Jacob without his permission and takes his blood and is interested in essentially studying/experimenting on him
Jasper calls (16 year old) Jacob a dog the first time he meets him
Imprinting on babies is apparently not uncommon for the werewolves and Jacob regularly would go to playgrounds to search for child imprintees
Bella is frightened by Zafrina upon seeing her for no reason other than that shes not white and describes her as the most uncivilized vampire shes ever seen
Quileute beliefs and Native spirituality in general is repeatedly mocked and called “lies for entertainment”
And that’s not even a full fucking list like God I hate stephanie meyer
I went and found proof for these and they’re under the readmore
Becoming a vampire makes you super hot by making you white. All vampires are super hot and all vampires are white. If you arent white before becoming a vampire, the process turns you white and it also makes you super hot.
If I'm your savior, then you're mine.
