Responses on: "Do you believe you had a good childhood? Please explain"

Informant #159418: Yes, I had two parents that didnt divorce and tried to give me everything I ever needed.

Informant #159512: Yes I did. My parents were like old school 60's tv show characters. I didnt grow up with drugs, alcohol, or cursing. They taught me integrity and instilled respect into me. I was given a lot of the things I wanted in life (which made me spoiled) and I was really sheltered from the real world. Which in the end my curiosity of the "other side of life" got the best of me in high school. But growing up I was a very fortunate child and can proudly say that they really did everything they could to raise me right.

Informant #159528: Yes...We got what we wanted and needed, we had family time and vacations and my parents have always supported anything I wanted to do...

Informant #159543: Absolutely not. My mother was an alcoholic drug addict who left her abusive husband only to wind up with a more abusive drug addict/dealer who was mentally unstable.

Informant #159553: It was okay. Could have been much worse I suppose?

Informant #159590: It was alright. I had very strict parents who were not afraid to use the belt.

Informant #159837: yes, first of all my parents were awesome and treated us great! They let us be kids by running around outside all day and grew up with a ton of kids on my block!

Informant #159942: Yes, I was very loved
