Spank -- probably no.
Slug -- maybe.

No. Spanking at any age is a sign of parents losing control. The best way to handle discipline with teenagers is to use leverage. There has to be something you can take away, usually a phone, for a period of time as punishment.
I have a free 3-Step Parenting Plan on my website which will help you set up a set of rules and consequences. Parents also have to be on the plan to set a good example. Plus, kids looooove punishing parents when they do something wrong ... fair is fair

No, but I would talk to them about their behavior and there would be some type of punishment. With teens the best thing to do is to take away their phone and technology and also ground them from going out.
