It is not because you are strict with him, alone. What matters is how you implement your rules. If you just say do this because I am your parent and because I said so. Then yes, the child will rebel because they have no rational reason for why they need to act correctly other than just "Because I Said So". The thing is that if you want to bring your kids up strict, that great but you have to take the time to explain why things are they way they are. If they don't understand why they need to follow the rules it then just comes across as you being mean, specially when compared to some other parent that doesn't care what their kids do. We brought our son up strictly but made every effort to explain to him why the rules were what they were and it made a world of difference. Now he gets it. We don't have to worry about him because he pretty much self regulates himself these days and we only have to deal with small issues on the fringe. But I'm very happy we brought our son up strictly. I see other kids who's parents don't hold them to any real rules and it is constant turmoil. They can't go anywhere because the kids will embarrass them every time. Or worse the kids will irritated everyone around them while the parents ignore their behavior. At this point, you need to sit down with your child and have a serious discussion with them to try and determine why they feel so rebellious. What is it that causes them such anger that makes them feel like they need to act in the way that they are acting. You also need to explain your actions and maybe work out some kind of compromise that makes them feel like you are listening to them as well.

Absolutely not. You have to con them into thinking you are a good kid. This is an art. Parents have been there done that. You have to call when you will be late. Your car or friends car has to be where you say you will be in case they drive by. If you have a cell phone thats a plus because it can be answered from anywhere with the appropriate background noise. (They can tell if it's too fake.) Stay away from people who cannot chill when necessary, ie., people who get wasted and get you in trouble by association. Protect your privates!!! (You know what I mean.) Visine, altoids and LIGHT spray cologne are essentials for certian things.
Oh heck it is too much trouble cause you will get caught anyway. Just behave!!!

Being rude and rebellious is NOT the way to get around anyone. It makes things much worse for all concerned. Try listening to your parents for a change and respecting their wishes and points-of-view. If you give them that respect and courtesy, I imagine they'll be more willing to ease up on you. You need to grow up.

No, it is not a way around strict parents. It is a way to show your parents that you are still immature and can't make good decisions on your own.
Behavior like that will cause your parents to tighten the ropes on you more. They are more likely to want you at home and under their supervision more than if you acted like a mature and responsible person.

No. By showing your parents that you pretty much hate them, they won't trust you and won't treat you like an adult. By being courteous and respectful, they will give you more privileges and will trust you more. I know it's easier to be rude and rebellious, but it's not the safest way to go about getting around your parents.

As a parent, that behavior would make me even stricter!!
Your parents truly want to keep you safe....they don't make rules up just to make YOUR life hard.
They love you, and know what's best.
Trust me, I've been the rebellious kid AND a parent!

No try being mature. I believe there should be more strict parents out there.

No but it is a way to make yourself miserable by bringing more trouble on yourself.
