Questioning authority is, I think, a great thing to instill in children. I just didn't have enough of that when I was little.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.
I was brought up to question authority, and thank God for that.
I just remember that pivotal moment when you're a young adult, and you realize that these authority figures are human beings, too, and they're figuring out their lives just as you are, and they're flawed.
Oddly, I do have a problem with authority. I find it very difficult to knuckle down and follow rules. Which are the classic symptoms of someone who has a troubled relationship with their father. And yet, I never had a problem with my father.
We need to stop the erosion of parental authority.
It amazes me that parents are allowed to raise kids. There's so much power and often very little accountability.
People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.'
I always grew up with, 'Question authority.'
I've always had trouble with authority.
I obviously identify with the anti-authority figure. I've pretty much always had problems with authority, ever since I was a kid.
