First of all, I must say that I am not a saint, because in my teenage I did not involve with any types of misdeeds, which were treated as delinquencies. In my childhood, especially in my adolescence period, I am a very obedient type of kid, and my parents and other family members are very loving and caring, at the same time my parents are very strict, might be for such reason I did not have any delinquent behavior at that time, even in my present-day life also.
