Can you hit a girl

Answer 1

Many people claim that is is against the law for a boy to hit a girl. However, there is no specific proof of that and even if there was, it is not right. These are how things go:

1. If you are a boy and the girl hits you physically with the intention of hurting you, then, you can hit her as a form of self-defense. There is nothing wrong about that.

2. If any human, boy or girl tries to harm you, you may hit and fight them ONLY to protect yourself.

3. If a boy hits a girl and it is not a form of self-defense, that is assault. This is the same vice versa if a girl hits a boy. It is assault regardless of gender. So, boys cannot hit girls other than self-defense and girls cannot hit boys other than self defense.

4. Because we are all human, gender does not really matter with hitting. It is illegal for both genders to hit each other with an exception of self-defense. If a person does for self defense, it is very understandable.

Here is a personal story that I have heard on this topic. It is from a boy:

"It was the middle of school and I was sitting in the classroom at lunch recess talking with three other friends. Suddenly a girl that was in my class insults me. I shout back at her, showing her that I am angry and to imply to her that I do not take insults lightly. What she did next was very inexcusable. She came towards me and tried to punch and kick me. I blocked her attacks using Wushu (a Chinese Martial Arts) and hit her on the jaw with my clenched fist. She cries out in pain and tells the whole school about it. Many people urge me to apologize to her but I was firm. I was not going to apologize to some girl who tried to hit me first. I served her right and I did not do anything wrong. The girl then tries to frighten me by telling me that she will report this to the office. I tell her to do it straightaway because when the principal hears my side of the story, she will be in trouble. I saw that she was frightened because she knew that it was her who did everything wrong, not me. She knew that it is wrong to hit people willingly to harm them regardless of gender. She learned her lesson and I stood up for myself and showed that gender does not affect anything".

This story explains that gender is not an excuse for fighting. Fighting can only be done as self-defense and nothing more. This is the same for both genders.

Answer 2

Yes. It is against the law to hit a female, male or animal

• If a husband hit his wife, it would be domestic abuse
• If a male hit a female and sexually molested her, it would be sexual abuse
• If a female hit a female and sexually molested her, it would be sexual abuse
• If a male student hit a female student, the male student would be subject to possible expulsion and counselling
• If a female hit a female, it would be a fight and both may be arrested if the fight took place in public.
• If the "hit" was an accident, an apology would have to be given by the person who hit the girl

Answer 3

YES. It is a physical (and possibly mental) form of child abuse, and you can be charged with anything from battery to child endangerment to inflicting mental distress.

DON'T HIT YOUR KIDS!

Cool down and go kick around your garbage cans or something. There's NOTHING a child can do to deserve abuse.
