Reason:

I think this BoP would be shared, however both users dropped each other's arguments. I believe that Pro dropped more arguments than Con. Both arguments could be proved, however weren't proved with any type of sources. All of this said, based on con's arguments, even if someone was well disciplined, the effects of corporal punishment could still leave everlasting effects on the person.

"It causes physical and mental unwellness. It can also cause children to have difficulties with cognitive and social development, as well as reduced academic success and increased aggression and violence." This gives the impression that even if it grants more discipline, it still affects them in little to severe cases.

Summary:
- Pro dropped more arguments.
- Convincing argument towards physical and mental unwellness which counters pros argument alone.

As for the extras,
Sources: Nobody used any type of sources, thus a tie.
Legibility: Both users had little to no significant amount of spelling errors and nothing was extremely hard to read. Meaning, this ends in a tie.
Conduct: Both forfeited an equal amount of rounds. I will say, making an appearance in the last round where someone cannot counter it, can be considered as bad conduct, meaning I give this point towards con.

Any questions? I will handle them through messages or comments.
