Vicki: so your upbringing - the way your parents brought you up, wasn’t too strict?
Callum: well, I was always told to be polite and have respect and so on, but they tried to let me make my own mistakes. I think it was because they wanted me to be able to stand up for myself.
Vicki: well, yes - being able to ‘stand up for yourself’, being independent and confident is important!
Callum: yeah, you need to stand up for yourself in this world …
Vicki: anyway, what about brothers and sisters? Do you have any?
