Teenagers with tough parents in many of my friends cases lie to their parents or find a way through their parents. My Mom raised me on the loose side and sure I made some mistakes but I've learned.

parents are strict because they have their child's best interest at heart. some are, and some aren't. i had strict parents and rebelled against them, resulting in major life altering f u c k ups.
looking back now, i wish they had been "meaner" in their punishments to teach me more lasting lessons.

I was strict and I have an absolutely wonderful 20 year old now. I was strict with lies... if you lie to me you got a month of grounding. If you told me the truth there would be no trouble ! It worked well for us and he can come to me ans ask anything and also give his opinion about anything with out me going off on him because we may disagree.
Kids want respect but yet they often don't do a damn thing to earn it. My son earned it and he was given much in return. I have friends who complain about their children yet do nothing to fix it. I worship my child and he rises to the occasion !!
IF you are a teen reading this... show your parents how you would like to be treated by BEING that which you want!
IF you are a parent reading this... Show your kids how you want to be treated by doing the same. Kids only do what they are allowed! Allow them to be the best person they can be by being open with them and talking to them like adults!

The present day world is not the safest place to live in. There is danger all around and it is easy for a youngster to get into it. Parents have lot of expectations for their children and they do not want their children to fall into bad company, that is why they are very strict with their children.

I know as a kid I thought a friend of mines parents were way too strict with her, and now I know why. They themselves were out of control when they were young and I guess they didn't want her to do anything they did. It of course backfired on them as she just did exactly what they did because she was not allowed to do anything.

One might be their age the way they were raised...... caring for their children over muich etc....This particular situation has so many differnt reason why it could be either way.

Parents are strict because they love their children. Maybe to those parents it is more important to be a loving parent than a really "cool" friend to their children.

I am a mother now and now realize why my mother was the way she was. I was a troubled teen too. I don't want my kids to make the same mistakes I did.

Spare the rod and spoil the child is just as relevant today!
Be guided by your parents, they want you to grow up good,
hoest and respectable!

Because look at our society, If and when you have kids of your own you try and do any and everything to protect them.
