Got any chores they hate doing especially ones that can be seen by their peers?
Once people reach and age where "reputation" and image matters then whole new avenues of punishment open up.
On reflection I don't think corporal punishment via the parents had any major effect on me simply because of the realisation that they could not go far enough to do any real damage, once you reach a point that you no longer fear someone or something then using it as a punishment is pointless.
For all the beatings my mother gave me (for the most part deserved) not one of them had anywhere near the same affect as being given a swift boot in the arse by the local cop.
