Like a lot of modern parents, I think they fail to see their kids' feelings as being real to them. Thus, you go around forbidding who they can and can't talk to, arranging relationships, putting unreasonable restrictions on them etc. If you operate on the assumption that kids only have "puppy" love and that somehow their emotional life is more diminutive and less important than that of adults, then Romeo and Juliet happens.

Neither parents believe in their children and what they have together or supposedly say they have
Neither parents are able to put their children before themselves because then they would realize that the feud is not in the best interest of the children
Neither parents are involved in their children's lives. The only reason Juliet's father noticed Romeo was b/c of the feud. But if Romeo would have been more conspicuous, neither parent would know what and whom with the kids were doing.
Have fun writing the paper

HA! what a great question!! I bet none of those high-falutin' shakespeare scholars at Cambridge pondered this one...
I'd say by issuing ultimatums about their children's dating life. Ultimatums are like challenges to prove someone wrong, especially to teenagers like Romeo and Juliet. But then again, its not like nobels of that time period really raised their children anyway, hence the character of the Nurse.

probably by trying to teach their children to hate and by sheltering them. of course neither method works

so many ways...
But one is that if you try and keep your children from something that they love, that doesn't actually hurt them or anyone else, then it can end badly. Such as in death in this case.

It shows that trying to force you to love someone and not to love someone you do can lead to suicide attempts.
