“Do you also drive your parents crazy sometimes?”

During my childhood years, I humbly say that I am a timid boy and never speaks much in any social functions. I am a late bloomer and started to develop myself during my college years. I think it is the best thing happened in my life. It was a turning point to try something new and to break free from being the introvert individual.
As I looked back, I am not a good child after all. I had innate naughtiness and drove my parents crazy during the old days. Due to peer pressure, I was influenced to cut classes and never realized that it was a wrong thing to do. It was a good thing that my class adviser took the initiative to inform my biological parents. As expected, I was so totally grounded in that incident.
How about you, guys?
Have you ever tried to make your parents drive insane?

Your childhood sounds just like mine (though I was a girl 
). I think I was a good child. But it was during that time in college, when I blossomed, that I drove my parents crazy. Not with one particular incident, but I felt quite independent and exercised that.

@Shavkat It is a learning process - we had to go through that to become the person we are now. I think others need to go through that learning process too . . . no matter what we try to teach, you know people just won't listen - people have to find their own way.

I also have the feeling that I don't regret the shortcomings of the past. It is a learning process to be mold myself into a new leaf. I tried not to blame myself for going to the wrong path but use them into teaching others not to follow the wrong steps that I've done.

For different reasons I sometimes drove my parents crazy. Then, several times, my daughters drove me crazy. And later on, my grandchildren drove my daughters crazy. The story repeats

@marguicha It cannot be denied, my friend. It runs in the family. There are some traits that I also got it from my biological parents.

Growing up, especially when I was in my early 20s I did drive my Mom crazy. Probably most of it was from worry.

Now I am an adult and I have a have a hard time getting along with my family so even though I live very close to them I do not see them often. I was a wild kid and I know I drove them nuts. Not sure if I could have dealt with a kid like myself.

Sometimes I did some things I shouldn't as a child but mostly I was a very quite and shy child.

I think I was fairly good even though I drove my mom crazy when I argued with her while trying to make a point.

I had my times that I'm sure I did drive my mom nuts, however I also did more for her then most. She had to work sometimes 3 jobs to support my brother and me. I'm the oldest so I cleaned the house, helped my brother with his homework, made the meals, got him up for school, anything to make it easier for her. Then I got with the wrong crowd for awhile. I still did all the above but started smoking and skipping school. Never got caught thou. I did realize on my own that I didn't want that kind of life and got my act together.

I was pretty good but not perfect. My kids are grown but had their moments. We all learn the hard way.
