Uniform, swimwear, respect and discipline

Haven't seen stranger questions for a long time. No freedom at all to be a child. The creator must be very old fashion - seems almost like he/she lives in the middleage or in a nondeveloped country.

Unfortunately, here in the U.S. there is still alot of that going around. Remember the movie Carrie? Since no one I knew had an upbringing like that, I thought it was an exageration. Unfortunately, it isn't. Many parents treat their kids like property-no autonomy whatsoever and lots of abuse (physical and mental) and a high teen suicide rate to match it.

Hi totoro. I don't feel I have been abused, I chose doing the things I do. My parents raised me this way, and I feel showing them respect by a simple gesture of kneeling to them for a brief period each night is fine. The fact that they like it and endorse it dosen't mean they abuse me because I did it of my own accord.

I've had to kneel to my parents for as long as I can remember. When my sister turned 18 (and I was 13) she said it was time for me to kneel to her, I didn't and she told my parents, they made me kneel to her for 20min on rice. It was very hard dropping to my knees before my own sister with her big mocking smile.

dont do it then. It's time for catholicism to come out of the dark ages and start treating children like people instead of property.
