Have you been slapped in the face?

My roommate enjoys soap operas, so I am unfortunately familiar with all the dramatic dialogue and actions seen in such programs. I think I must have seen more than enough face slaps to last me a lifetime. That got me thinking, does this really happen in real life? I've never been slapped before, and I haven't done it, either. Have you?

Been slapped through the face once in my life and that was by my dad. First and last time he ever slapped me and he has never stopped apologising.

Maybe it was a sudden reaction on your dad's part that made him slap you. I've heard stories of people getting a bit violent unconsciously at a moment of overwhelming emotion.

I actually have been slapped in the face a few times, but I've probably been the one whose done more slapping than anyone. I like to rough house, I'm a scrapper...It's all in good fun. I've very rarely ever hurt anyone and if I did, it was by accident. My friends and I rough house all the time. It's all in good nature. Though I have slapped people out of anger too which I'd like to work on NOT doing.

I have. By my grandmother when I was a little girl. She called it "boxing my jaws." But in actual real life situations as an adult - no. Although my mom tried to. But she has dementia. She doesn't know what she's doing.

I was slapped once when I was about 10 years old. My sister and I were arguing about something and my mom warned us to stop. I felt I was right about the issue, so I kept right on, trying to make my point. My mom continued to warn me a few more times until finally she slapped me. It's funny, my sister did the same thing some time before this. The only difference is she got away with it and received no slap at all. Happy mylotting!

HI SWIRLZ no I really donpt think many people go around slapping others or getting slapped. I have never seen anyone get slapped or have I seen anyone slapping someone else.If it does happen I have just not seen it where I live.to me its the ultimate insult g etting slapped.

Yes, I'd probably be humiliated if I were slapped, especially if it happens it public. I tend to avoid confrontations, so getting violent with someone is completely not in my nature.

fortunately not. And I do not want to experience such. But should it happen to me..I'll probably slap the person back. Just like in the movies!

hi there swirlz, honestly speaking, i was already slapped on the face. that incident took place when i was still young and i can't remember what was the reason behind. the only thing i know was, i have cried a lot when i encountered that moment. that i told and promise myself, i won't let that thing happen to me again.

No I've never been slapped before but I slapped a boy when I was a little kid, he bullied me and I was out of my temper so i slapped him. I had a strong reason to slap him, because I did not like to be bully. But about the slapping on soap operas, I totally disagree with it, they should not put slapping or swearing in their scenario. The young may imitate what they've seen on television. That is also one of the reasons why I dont like watching soap operas, too much drama and too many violents in the scenes.

Not to stereotype but I am hispanic and I believe we got strict parents so in response yes I have by my own mother and one other person. Its not something to enjoy it really hurts your pride but mostly stings the skin.

I hadn't recieved any slaps on my face in my life. I don't love to have beats over my face and i will defend those ones if the hands are near my face.

Yes, I've been slapped in the face by my mom when I was 16 years old infront of lots of people. That was the worst experienced that I ever had because she never listen to my explanation. Anyway that was part if my past and I already forgiven my mom for that harsh actions.
