The Problem of the Loose Sister

and as these thoughts were crossing my mind, a nice, loud, slap was placed right on my cheek. now honestly, if he hadn’t just slapped me across the face, i would really have thought that its ok to swear in front of my brother cuz we’re similar in age. however, the slap got the point across in a nice way that its not acceptable at all and i should learn to act more like a lady no matter how friendly i am with someone. now you might say thats not right and boys don’t hit girls etc etc but the slap worked just as well as a long serious talk would’ve worked. and the talk would’ve been harder for my brother to have since he doesn’t have as much authority over me and it would’ve been painful n embarassing for me to sit through it. a quick slap does the trick. it isn’t as if i was permanently injured due to it. he still respects me, i know that. and funny thing my dad has NEVER hit me in my entire life but somehow it was OK and understandable that my bro felt the need to hit me for swearing in front of him. needless to say i got over that phase of swearing and being rebellious pretty quick

Sorry but how is slapping someone a nice way of explaining that something is wrong? So, if your brother had calmly explained to you that he didn’t think it was appropriate for you to swear and he didn’t want to hear it again you wouldn’t have listened to him? If he has enough authority to slap you I’m sure he has enough authority to give you a serious talk. These things need to be explained in a reasonable, calm way…violent actions get you nowhere imo.
