Some people have the slightly unlucky opportunity to be raised by strict parents. These types of parents seem to want to control every aspect of their children’s life. Although strict parents may feel as if it is for their kid’s best, the kid may feel otherwise. Here are a few pros and cons of having strict parents that anyone with strict parents can relate to:

Pro: One pro of having parents that are strict is that they keep you focused. By limiting your access to outside distractions, you have fewer opportunities to stray away from your goals.

Con: A con to having no social life is that you have fewer chances to really experience life for yourself. Personally, I feel that by keeping kids from going to sleepovers and going out with friends, parents may instil in their children a sense of being closed off from most people.
