I feel like this is a total bullshit speech, my parents were always my friend, they wasn't strict on me they believed in me, that I would make the right choices. Havin that freedom to learn from your own mistakes does infact make you have good morals. I have never gotten in trouble by the government or anything. I made my own choices they let it happen and I am a great guy, with great morals, you have to have trust in a child to raise them right.
