Mike is right about one thing, SI is a part of soemthing larger, some other problem. And knowing the reason why is a helpful thing too.

Is it wrong? For me it is, but at other times you ask me and I would say if it helps then no. But in the end it is wrong.

Your parents say it is wrong form an outsiders view, and to them it is wrong. but Why do you do it? is the better quesiton. Hope this helps.
