    Although my upbringing（养育）was perhaps a bit（12）　 　compared with modern children，I'm very thankful to my parents for giving me a clear（13）　 　in life.Even though I was sometimes（14）　 　，I think it has made me a better person.In my view，children need clear rules，but more than that they need to learn how to get on with（15）　 　people and realize they are not the center of the world.
