They grew up in such a conservative good family they do not know how to act amongst such freedom. Basically meaning, I want to do this but my family always says stuff like that is bad. I am here cussing smoking cigarettes and drinking beer and you to afraid to say what you mean in my eyes. Say what you mean. I do not know I think is kind of sad when people cannot be their true selves good or bad. Be bad to learn from your mistakes so you can do good. When you are so constricted, how do people even learn anything? You will just keep making same mistakes over and over.

True. Living in a very conservative family and environment is so restrictive. it's hard to move without being afraid to be judged. No freedom.

@crossbones27 My family is very conservative. But when I went to a university, a very well-known university in this country for its academic excellence and liberalism, I got my freedom. I learned to become more open minded and couldn't care what others think of me.

@toniganzon Indeed, and I think people just need balance more than anything. Everything these days is one extreme to the other side. There is a balance and you can be in the middle.

I was raised in a conservative family, but my parents told us not to judge anyone. Because why the crap should we think we’re better than anyone else? My dad liked to say, “Get off your high horse before someone knocks you off.”

@AmbiePam That is the best teaching right there anyone could learn. This world is a lot different than how I was raised. I had some of the worse parents too, but not to bad I guess.

You just have to do what is right for you and not listen to other people.

Indeed but it is so weird how I can just feel people holding it all back I guess. I mean California is place where its so normal to just be you to a point and then someone comes along that is not from here and its like they really not used to being so free. I do not know its hard to explain but I see it I guess.

@jstory07 Its easy to get in a lot of trouble here. They say Vegas is the city of sin. Have you seen California? I imagine why so many hate it. I hate it because people so rude and they do not even know why, they just are. .

I am with you on this...10/10. I think family plays a very important role in building your life, also more than that what and how are you going to learn from mistakes...

The best way to learn is just doing it right or wrong. If you are wrong, it will teach you to be right.
