I was never beaten, or scolded as I have seen done by some my colleagues parents. But I was seriously afraid of my father and though he doesnt say any his one look can make you cry. It was there till I took responsibility of most of my family.
I did have regrets, but currently do not have regrets as I chose my own path, and was fortunate enough to have parents like I have. They allowed me to do what ever I liked, and on the other case they didn't have a chosen path for me or any agendas for me. I believe now they do not have regrets and neither do I. But my sister on the other hand, she failed miserably after OLs. She had 9As, didnt do ALs, was psychopathic at times and got the advantage of parents who were innocent. So the same treatment does work in different ways, it depends on the personnal
