I don't know how strict you're compared to my parent and relatives who raised me. I was raised by my strict one parent and aunties whom I thought; they were unfair with me whilst my cousins are able to do anything they want. Whenever, I want to play, I sneaked out with my friends. At age fourteen, I escaped from them because of their behavior towards me. I disappeared for three years without a trace, they thought I died. I sent a letter to my father before I turned 18 years old. I worked at early age and achieved my high school diploma without anyone's help (thanks to public school). I found out that it's difficult to live without parents who can shoulder my needs but I opted to be free which I deserved a little. I cried day and night for few weeks, because I missed them but the pride took over. After few months, I'm okay but I still dropped some tears when I remember them. After a year, I’m using without them. Anyway, I've never do any illegal narcotics even some of my friends did it which is surprising to my family. Two of my friends took the wrong path. I didn't leave them but they separate themselves from me. I didn't see them over a decade. I nagged to them sometimes when we mingle. Long story, I'm 27 years old now. Most of my friends are older than I am. I have learned a lot in my journey. However, let your son to bring friends at home with supervision. Make sure they ask permission from their parent or guardian. I know some children isn't that great so let your son know that is good to have friends around but it doesn't means they have to flock together. I believed children are different. Some is easy to pull their nose and some can't make to do such things. I don't have to say good luck, we all making our own luck in life. I hope, the story about me gives you an idea. |

This article was great. I fell the same way with my child. I am 27 and my child is 8. I fell like I could do better, but I know that I try my hardest and that he loves me for who I am. I don't try and change anymore. Don't do what I did and mess up. |
