In my entire life, the only thing that I let my parents down during my university days. I transferred and enrolled myself in another school. It was almost 1 year that I did not tell them about it. I decided to move because my teachers in that old school were harassing innocent students. Luckily, they were so understanding why I did it.
Did you ever let your parents down in any way?

I want to prevent this so I need to move to another school. It was not only me but other male students too.@LadyDuck (471500)

@Shavkat When I was young the "legal age" was 21... you could do nothing at all without your parents signature. I got married at 20 and my father had to sign to approve. Even if I did not like my school, there was not a lot I could do. No other school would have accepted me without my parents approval.

I don't remember I intentionally did when they were still alive but it depends on how they think about it. I should have asked them before.

@Shavkat Thank God that they were able to make me feel that way. You are making me miss them a lot!

@cherigucchi I am sorry that made you feel that way. I have been missing my old man since he left us 7 years ago.

My parents told me that they don`t expect too much from me. 
They just want me to graduate with good grades and I did that.

i don't know that my mother would say i let her down. I think she would argue that I let myself down.

I can honestly say that yes I did because I did not finish my college education. I was the only one who did not finish college out of their four daughters. I finished only up to the fourth year of my course so I'm a big disappointment for them.

@Shavkat Yes I agree there is no age limit to having a diploma but my course is architecture so if you're already an old architect it would be very difficult to climb scaffolding etc

I have never done it intentionally. I was a naughty and playful one and so a bit of challenging to handle. 
But I was sensible and responsible too. My mom often says that she was proud of me and my brother.

I am a good citizen and never dared to commit illegal acts to violate government laws. I did my part to be a good student and graduated without any hassles after moving to another school. Literally, the teachers at that school are sexually harassing students.
It is the ugly truth that some medical students experience this situation when studying at their schools.

Yes , letting them is following my heart,what do I mean for example they might tell you don't marry this particular lady and u went ahead to marry her,most times doing what is right might look like letting them down.

@09027534726112233 If we consider the culture thing, it does happen. Personally, I feel bad for those who did not follow their hearts.
