I find this hard to understand as I very close to many people who think differently than me. My spouse for example is a gun person. I abhor guns. But my opinion is my opinion. My opinion of what is good or right is just that- my opinion, not an absolute.

Also everyone I know made at least one really bad choice as a teenager/young adult.. Most don't mind talking about them BC that was a long time ago and all young adults make bad choices..
