We had rules, summer time tv was not allowed on and we had to be outside by 9am. We could come back for lunch but we had to go back outside and we better not have been late for dinner.
We got our ass beat for everything that we did wrong. I had my own apartment at 16 because I got sick of getting my ass beat.
We had rules growing up and got in trouble if we stepped out of line but our parents were always there to stick up for us if need be, and that included School and or neighbor bullies
