19 and my parents raised me in that manner as well, except I didn't pray at school, but I did do the Pledge of Allegiance. when I was nine my family built a house on 11 acres of wooded hills and I would go out and play all the time, I would get scratched and cut, but I never broke any bones until I was in a car crash at 16. The neighborhood I lived in before that had lots of hills that I'd ride my bike down with my brothers and friends, my parents let us ride all over the place and never worried about us being kidnapped. We would go trick or treating at night. When I was really bad I was spanked and being sent to my room consisted of several hours of boredom, not tv, computer, phone, nintendo. we did have a nintendo though, but it was in the living room.
I just don't know what so many people are worried about these days.
