Teens: Are your parents strict?

[pigpenguin91]

No, not really. My parents have always been pretty flexible, they've always given me and my sister lots of freedom to explore and experiment.

They've always been more about having conversations with us about what's right and wrong, and being flexible with their rules, instead of just laying it down and expecting us to follow their word to the letter of the law.

As a result, I have a close relationship with my parents, which I value very much.

Not really. With my mom, it's usually getting chores done and picking up after myself. With my dad, it's just grades. All that partying, smoking, and going out late, they could careless. Because I don't do it. If I did it, they would be more surprised and probably happy inside lol. All I do is stay in the house.

Not really. My parents are like yours except the whole getting the cars with boys thing. They use to be really strict about me getting in the car with anyone they didn't know, but now I will seriously get in the car with whichever of my friends offers to drive me home. I know not to like go with strangers and stuff. As long as I go to school and get decent grades their okay.

Not really. My mom is really easy going, but my dad is somewhat strict at times.
