was it

  1. The sense of right and wrong instilled by your parents? ability to resist the temptations or distractions?

Parents are in both options :smack:

which behavior of theirs was it… the danda/pressure or the values instilled/tarbeeyat??

there is a very subtle difference between the two things i am talking about…

Ammi/Abbu were not strict. Worst punishment I got from abbu was timeout (4-5 time during all of my childhood). Ammi just did dant-dappat

So no one wants to admit to messing up.

I was going to say I messed up as a teen but not like horrendously. But unless I explain myself fully with an essay people will start telling me off etc

I feel I messed up. Most of that decade was fine but there was one thing I regret.

In Milly's words, they can 'jog on'! Don't let immature posters who clearly have no life experience get to you.

What is 'messed up' for one might not be the same for all.

I didn't really get a chance to mess up during my teens, i'm making up for it now!

Yeah this thread is for angels. You can open the other one.

And by the way abba ka danda was the only force which kept me in check most of the time. For rest of the time even danda did not do its magic either. :snooty:

Re: What kept you from messing up when u were teen

had a well-developed sense of right and wrong, of justice and truth. So even though I was rased without religion, I was just good :hypo:. Moreover, I have no natural desire to be outrageous or extremist. I always tend toward moderation. I’m not thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie.
