Okay, well- First off, I don't want to get in trouble. It's just that, is it normal for someone to never ever get in trouble? I mean, I have never been grounded or spanked in my life for doing anything wrong- but all my siblings have, including the one that is four years younger than me. I get good grades and behave, and I'm cool with that, but I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with me, because I never feel the need to break rules and stuff. I almost feel left out. I know that if I ever did get in trouble, my parents would rip me into pieces, so obviously- I don't want to, but I'm just asking if it is normal. I asked them once and they said that they never thought I deserved to be punished, but that's just creepy. Am I normal for never getting into trouble? What's wrong with me? How come I don't find the "thrill" in breaking rules like people I know say they do?

I am the same way. Don't worry about it, you will find some "thrill" in something else. I remember when I first found out I hardly ever break the rules was in 7th grade when someone called me a "goody-two-shoes" for never getting detention, lunch detention, suspension, in school suspension or getting less than a B on a report card. Don't worry about it!

I guess it's because you know what's right from wrong. However I have never found any thrill in breaking rules. Just shame. It is a BAD feeling so don't break rules. You are an itelligent person to follow the rules as everyone should. You KNOW that rules help keep the enviroment and your home 2 better happy places. Good for you. Keep behaving like this. I hope I helped.

Well, I'm 27 and no lie, I was THE SAME WAY. The last day of my high school career, I begged for detention, just so I could say that I had it. All my teachers thought I was nuts, until my AP Physics teacher took pity on me and said okay. Although he was the detention monitor guy, and never actually gave me a detention slip. He just told me I could come by and sit there if it really made me feel better. But seriously, stick to your guns, there is nothing wrong with you! I've lived my whole life without drinking or drugs or smoking or rebelling and I feel like I'm a better person because of it. You will too...don't worry!

I got spanked twice when I was young (but then again, my mom got mad at me for almost touching ants). But since the age of 4/5, I haven't gotten in any trouble, and I don't feel the need to do so, either.
In the old area I lived in, most kids wanted to get into trouble, but where I live now, no-one does that much. So, really, I guess some kids just do it to impress others depending on if it's seen as "cool".
So, no, I don't really think that it's abnormal that you haven't gotten into trouble. It's also a very good thing you haven't.

I distinctly remember feeling that way once. I think it is a sign you are getting ready to make some independent decisions, but are also worried that you may tick off some important people.
First of all, there is nothing "glamorous" in breaking rules. It doesn't make you strong or cool. Some people your age are real risk-takers. Others like to play it safe. Both approaches can get you ahead in life. You need to decide which risks are worthwhile and which can set you back. It sounds to me like you have a good head on your shoulders. Stick to your strengths!!

Don't worry - you'll screw up someday. Just keep being the good kid that you are today and the chances are that when you DO screw up, it won't be as severe a problem as it would be with someone else.
How do I know you'll screw up? With luck, you'll have a long life and it will just happen naturally. You'll get a lot of grief from your parents when it happens and it won't be pleasant but it is part of life. Don't be in a hurry to get to that point. It sounds like you are comfortable just the way you are.

Maybe you have a higher calling in life. My sister Carla was just like that. She's a lawyer now. Don't worry about it. Some people are just good kids. You have a good heart. People think all people have to be mischievous and manipulative, but it is just not true. You're that rare geniunely GOOD PERSON. Pure! Thank God for you!!
