My dad wanted me to not wear holey clothes. He wanted me to wear knee length dresses. He wanted me to have long black hair. My parents also wanted us to not have sex until marriage. Unfortunately they had very bad ways to try to control us such as violence and mental abuse. As we became teens we started to rebel and not care. My sister had sex at 14. Ran off at 17 and had a baby with a married man. If that tells you anything.

Tldr: they tried to be strict but it didn't work

i am so sorry to hear. mental abuse is not something to play with According to the U. S. government, “emotional abuse (or psychological abuse) is a pattern of behavior that impairs a child’s emotional development or sense of self-worth.” and often leads to children rebelling or as you said running away. it is almost like survival instinct for a kid as to where he or she decides that the can't anymore and need to rewove themselves from the situation and that does not matter how they might suffer that it is still worth it. really sad situation i hope your life is better now love

I don't have parents, I just have a man and woman who raised me. I would say 7, I used to punished and didn't have a normal childhood.
I believe that being strict is necessary sometimes, but when it's too much it actually hurts the child's development and growth.

I agree there is a thin line between strict and abuse. but having rules and parents enforcing it can only do a child good. it will teach the child about obeying the law and also give structure where needed

I think having strict parents are a good think in moderation.

I wish my parents were more strict with me about my education, because I didn't start caring about my grades until the 11th grade, and by then I already fucked up my gpa by a good amount.

I hold regret for not caring enough until it was too late until this day, I blame myself for it.

I just wish my parents pushed me more to care when I was younger.

I also wish my parents were more strict with me on eating healthy, my parents didn't care much for what I ate, I used to be overweight. I lost all the weight now, but I just wish I never had to gain it in the first place by eating so much when I was a child.

Basically I think being strict is good in ways that's actually going to help your child throughout life, things that are undeniably good, like the two examples I gave.
