What the hell?! Do you think I should've just sat at home and have my parents drive me everywhere for the past 6 years? It'd make college a little difficult. Not to mention getting a job for any teenager or 18-21 year olds who often really need one. Craziest thing I've read here yet.

No, I meant indocrtination into religious cults - such as rearing a poor child as a Catholic or a Babtist.
