Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didnt think I had much chance of getting in, 8 I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and 9 goals. I was running on parallel 10 .When the group won a city wide Battle of the Bands, things heated up. My band mates had stars in their eyes - we might be able to make it big.

We tend to discourage so-called “negative emotions” such as fear, sadness, and anger. We believe that if we can make our children act happily and well behave, they will become truly happy and well-adjusted adults.To some degree this management of emotions applies to both sexes. When boys or girls show feelings that their parents think inappropriate or threaten to reveal the abnormal nature of the family, their parents find some way to stop them. Parents do this in a variety of ways. Depending on their parenting styles, they may ignore their children; shame them; educate them; bribe(贿赂) them; distract them; punish them or physically abuse them.It is rare if a child doesnt suffer from some form of parental repression
