feel as thought you can answer back as it will get you into more trouble
and bring shame to your family name.

Shame is complicated. It's about feeling good about yourself, like you
don't have to put up with stuff.
Knowing your rights is important too because that you can say "that's
not right I don't have to do that, or you can't do that" and you know
that you're in the right and they're in the wrong.
