Counsel with your parents is a privilege at any age.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think there's a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel.
My parents had some problems of their own that put me in a position of having to deal with very grown-up stuff at a very young age. I needed some help with that, therapy-wise.
I've always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do.
As I go through life, I can see why my mother directed me that way, or why my father counseled me in that way. But some things you're open to when you're young, and some things you need to find out for yourself. I think that that's pretty universal.
My parents never raised their hand or fired me. Their way of disciplining me was to tell me what is right or wrong.
It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'always do what you are afraid to do.'
Parents are to be respected - it Is a commandment from God.
You get to a certain age and you can't judge yourself on your dad or your parents.
My parents were always pretty free with me. They were of the school of thought that if you really cramp down on someone and tell them not to do all these things, it's gonna become like forbidden fruit.
You can be arrested and not charged. You can be arrested and have no right to counsel.
