My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was growing up, my parents always told me that I had to do what I thought was right and not listen to other people. That was hard for me.
I've got a life that really matters to me, and that's because of the way I was raised. My ethics are high because my parents did a great job.
Frankly, right is right and wrong is wrong, particularly when a parent is talking to a child. A bright line around moral responsibility is very important.
I come from a highly moral family. I was very much taught what was right and wrong, and in my perception of things, I did something that was very wrong. To know that, and to then be so publicly exposed, was very hard.
Our parents set the moral tone of the family. They expected more of some of us and less of others, but never less than they thought we were capable of.
I'm so lucky to have been raised the way I have, because my parents believed that everyone had the right to their own feelings, opinions, and existence; as long as they weren't harming others, you had to defend those rights.
Even if you do something that others might consider wrong, you should at least be willing to talk about it and tell your parents what you're doing because you believe it's right.
My parents never raised their hand or fired me. Their way of disciplining me was to tell me what is right or wrong.
My parents were always very strict, and they gave me the right beliefs in how to treat people. It was very strict and all about morals - I try to pass that on to my own children.
My mum had a very strong moral code, which I kind of came with. I never really had to be told what was right or wrong - I knew. I was very mature from early on and I was a very good girl, so she never had any trouble with me.
