My friend's mother was raised VERY strictly going up...too strictly to the point that I wonder if it was a tad bit destructive? What do you think of this?
My friend and her family has lived in Philly for generations. Her mother lived in a neighborhood of Philly that was not bad, but not the greatest neighborhood either(it was in-between). When her mother was 18 and a high school graduate, she wanted to go to center city Philly(oh, a whole 15mins away) to a museum or some exhibit with an all-female group of friends she'd known for a while. Her mother(aka my friend's grandmother) refused to let her! You heard me right...at age 18, she was "not allowed" to go out with her girl friends(all girls, so no chances of premarital sex) to her own city! Center city Philly wasn't slummy either.
Isn't that a bit weird? How is that preparing her for the real world and living on her own?
