For much of his life, Friedrich lived with his mother along with his two aunts, and his sister - Elisbeth.
His father, and both his grandfathers, had been Lutherian Pastors, and it was assumed that Friedrich would carry on this buth he instead choose to study philosophy at
During his childhood he seems to have developed an aversion to such things as piety, nationalism, bourgeois provincialism and domineering women. From 1858 he attended the academically distinguished Pforta boarding school where he began to suffer from the migraine attacks that were to be a burden to him for the rest of his life. He was also affected by having poor eyesight. Pforta had turned out many famous men in the past and was run along "Prussian" lines of discipline, piety, and hard work.
