My parents are strict (details index;_ylt=ArPur_Ao_hiYN4Xj_G_iNMzsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081129140041AAcFGf3&show=7#profile-info-oD5y4ivxaa)
I would like understanding parents because they KNOW WHAT DATING IS.

The more my parents punish me the more I want to rebel. So the stricter your parents are the more you want to rebel against them [[in most scenarios]].

Answer by Sufi
turns out it doesn’t matter. what matters the most is the parents’ intention or if the parent really cares about the kid. turns out that strictness or leneiency doesn’t maek that much difference,. love does.

You seem to assume that parents can’t be both. You would be wrong.

Answer by Patricia C
Strict parents produce happy, well adjusted adults. Being strict doesn’t preclude being understanding.

Answer by Simone M
Understanding parents are way better. I’m 16 and my parents are very understanding and I feel no need to rebel. It’s good to keep a balance between being a friend and being a parent. You should be understanding and open about things but remember that kids need their parents because let’s face it, we don’t always make the best decisions. You want to keep a healthy relationship with you’re kids because if you don’t they may not feel comfortable turning to you when they need advice or help.

Answer by *Rosalie Hale!*
Trust me a teenager just wants an undersatnding parent, someone they actually want to ask stuff, but wont feel like their being degraded by doing so!
I am a 13yr. old(but very mature brain wise, not body) my parents are mean and strick about everything, so I want to be out and on my own by (at least) 18!

Answer by Violet
I believe that being understanding towards the kids does indeed keep a healthy relationship among both sides. My parents are very much like this. Yet, they draw the line. I don’t want to say they were strict on me entirely, but they sure knew what was right and wrong and taught me plenty of it.

My parents are strict, and you don’t want that at all because they don’t let you do anything. And I live with my step-dad and my mom, and my mom is never home, so my step-dad controls my life. He never let me have boyfriends.(although I snuck other boyfriends behind his back). And then I got pregnant, and I am 2 months pregnant right now, by my best friend (who I just started dating behind my dad’s back), and my step-dad kicked me out of the house.

I think strict parents restrict you soooo much that you feel the need to be dangerous.. although that’s not the best choice for me (i am a klutz).

Understanding parents keeps a clean relationship. And you don’t want to be a strict parent, because kids will hate you.
