My parents always went to rallies and demonstrated against certain things; my generation, we often have a political conscience, but we're not that involved.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.
My parents were really political. The news was very important in our home. We basically had dinner every night while watching the news, and then we'd discuss it with our parents.
But as for activism, my parents did what they could, given the constraints, but were never involved in the causes I think of when I think of activists.
My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.
My parents told us how they felt but never imposed their beliefs on us, although I appreciate I got a healthy sense of democracy from them.
I never rebelled against my parents - I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn't go to high-school parties.
My parents always asked me what I thought, listened to my opinions, articulated their diagnoses of our challenges at home and abroad, and shared their ideas for how to build a more equal and prosperous country. I always felt part of their call to serve and part of my father's journey.
I didn't have my parents to rebel against, but I had society, and that definitely is what they taught me. Just: Trust nothing.
No one in my family had ever been in politics. My dad thought it was something that got in the way.
My parents are apolitical - no bumper stickers, no yard signs. They don't talk about politics.
