LoL You were bad
I was pretty rebellious, strong headed, self-centered, angry, immature, and stupid.
I haven't improved all that much.
Man, my parents made some strange choices with me. They had me study Aikido at the age of five. I suppose they thought it'd calm me down. No, it just meant I could beat up anyone my size and even some people bigger than me.
They tried filling my life with activities. I didn't deal with it well. Eventually, they kinda wrote me off. We were pretty distant until after I finished boot camp. At that point, I was a Marine and an equal in my father's eyes. That changed a lot of things - including me.
Now a days they would have probably drugged you
Probably... Hell, they probably should have. Though we had some pretty brutal drugs back then as compared to today. LOL Psychiatry has improved a whole lot since I was a lad.
