I think there are huge lessons there, for young people who are getting started in life, as well as other people. And that is, to take responsibility for your own life. Only you are responsible for the course you take from there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that getting responsibility and structure are huge parts of growing up.
When you're younger, you're trying to understand and make sense of what your parents are trying to instill in you, which is ultimately life experience. I remember being 17 and my dad trying to teach me the importance of responsibility.
In order to be responsible, you need some discipline in your life.
When you have parents who are a little out of their minds, somebody has to take responsibility.
There's a need for accepting responsibility - for a person's life and making choices that are not just ones for immediate short-term comfort. You need to make an investment, and the investment is in health and education.
In order to be responsible, you need some discipline in your life. For a while I lost mine.
Responsibility educates.
I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible - but that's what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.
When you are the first of anything, there is a bigger responsibility put on you.
I see it as a responsibility of mine to teach others.
