Nailed it...
Some of my friends suffered a lot away from home. When they tell me about their struggles at their boarding place, I started feeling angry towards their parents for putting them in such places.
Even my mother started blackmailing me that if I don't study properly she'll put me and my brother in a hostel... So the word itself is enough to scare me off.
