That's not what I was saying. Because of your age (16?), you have limited knowledge of how to correctly deal with these type of children. As a matter of fact, you don't have any children so that makes it even more unlikely that you have the correct skills to deal with raising children.
Matt is seven now and had some problems with discipline in the past. I was out of state during his first few years while I served in the Air Force. When I was able to move back, it was a difficult because I had to rebuild a relationship that was interrupted. He was spoiled by his mom's family and needed a good spanking on occasion (maybe a dozen times since I've been home). However, I didn't do it all the time so it was very effective. Because of that, he is a well behaved boy.
On the "children should be seen and not heard" line, I do believe in it to an extent.
