Not only is it just wrong to hit kids, research has shown that spanking leads to depression, anxiety, potential substance abuse issues, and anger management issues later in life that begin around the formative teenage years. (Source:AAP - 35,000 person study)

Official conclusion from the 34,653 person study:

Harsh physical punishment in the absence of child maltreatment is associated with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse/dependence, and personality disorders in a general population sample. These findings inform the ongoing debate around the use of physical punishment and provide evidence that harsh physical punishment independent of child maltreatment is related to mental disorders
