No. Not okay to spank any person or any animal with any object.

Uhhh, NO.

By teenage years, parents should have had enough "control" over them to not need corporal punishment. You should be able to reason with teenagers .. not spank them.
Maybe. How old is he or she and what was the transgression?
If a teenager has no respect for your authority at that age you lost and a belt is not going to make things better.
You need to get help yourself first then earn some respect from the child.
I think that it should be fine as long as you spank them and you don't beat them. Some teanagers might prefer it over being grounded.
Yes!
No but I will spank you for spelling teenager wrong. >:0(
What will you use? Will you use a belt?
Yes, you need therapy!
For discipline?
No.
i dont think so, i used to get the belt growing up myself
What kinds of things did you get the belt for?
No, spanking a teen is not helpful. Spanking is against the law in Scandinavia (rated the most happy and peaceful place in the world by its citizens), and spanking with a tool, is against the law in most states in the USA. It will anger the child and not have a good consequence. A child needs to earn privileges that they care about, then they will work hard in school and follow the rules (unless the rules are unreasonable).
