I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.

All of us wish we'd had perfect childhoods, with a mother and father who modeled ideal parental attitudes and taught us to internalize the tenets of self-love. Many of us, however, did not.

My upbringing is why I am the person I am today. I have very wise parents.

The more I separate myself from my upbringing, the more I appreciate what it's done for me.

I had a very difficult upbringing.

It's a quality of my life that I wouldn't change for the world, having grown up with such a humble background.

I had a very modest upbringing.

I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.
