I'm just wondering, is it against the law to hit a girl? Because there is this girl in my class who i wanna smack, would i get in trouble? If it helps i live in Ontario, Canada. Thanks

Touching someone without thier consent is never okay. Touching with the intent to harm them is almost always criminal.
Don't hit people - the law doesn't care if they are girl people or boy people or people with gender! You don't have the right under the law to smack people. Seriously - Why on earth would you think you do?
Your school and the girl and her parents may choose to handle it within the school, and not press charges agianst you, but it's still assualt. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
