I really wasn't a bad child, but I would do everything I couldn't do inside the house.
My school seemed like my only escape route because even in church, I must behave myself.
Several times when my complains get home, it is just too unrealistic to believe I was caught in such act.
Many reports were said and made on my behalf, but it never bugged me because I wanted to live like every other child.
In the class, I talk with every available opportunity I have, I exercised my gift of talking only in the class, infant I was a very good talkative. I do this a lot because in the house I was just an introvert who doesn't talk unless when asked to.
I had my first alcoholic drink when i was in senior secondary school three (Ss3) and nobody at home knew. (How would they? When i wouldn't drink it at home or close to the home)
My Guardians thought they were strict, and tough enough that I can only but live as a good teenager. Little do they know that over strictness with my generation doesn't work at all.
You prove yourself to be strict, I live my life comfortably outside your presence.
If all you want to see is a good kid, I"ll simply give it to you just the way want it when I am within your sight, the moment I am out, I am me. (The Real Me)
PARENTS,
Get in here distinguished Parents all over the World, do not be the reason why your child would want to live a fake life. Watchout! They may have very nasty characters at home, let them exhibit it all in your presence and you make corrections when need be.
Do not force your children into living Real outside the Home and Fake inside when they are with you.
