It was the same with me, but I also got in big trouble with the boy scouts and YMCA. They wanted me to obey the rules, even the nutso rules.

In the YMCA camp (nice camp on the eel river) they would swat kids as part of the tradition not becasue the kid did anything wrong. I was only 9 and a very nice little boy. I di not do anything worng and I di dnot get hit at home, so I said no you cannot hit me. They brought in a very nice pastor who explained to me why I was wrong for not going along-lol. I was 9! Looking back I was right and he was wrong.

Later in life when I was a teacher, the principle wanted me to swat kids and I refused and they had to bring in a district arbitor, but I refused to hit those kids.

Eric Fromm the great psychologist once said: " the most neurotic person is one who adjusts successfully to a neurotic system".
