you guys missed MY point. especially hanna. what i said was that an equivalent response to unequal injuries would alienate the child and would prevent any meaningful discourse from occurring. parents may have the best intentions but no child is going to reason like hanna–because no honest person believes that you should punish a child for smoking as harshly as you would punish a child for doing heroin. i don’t understand why you would want to do that, either. to me, someone who does heroin has a lot more problems than the average smoker, although parents are justified in disciplining smoking children
