#2  Rigid upbringing

When most of the kids of his age were busy playing out or video games or watch TV, little Ed Sheeran would be sitting inside his home, practicing his guitar. His parents were very strict so he did not get enough opportunities to hang out with his friends. However, he is glad because that became his time to practice guitar.
