super strict/overbearing parents

one question... how do you think overbearing/strict parents effects a child?

In my personal experience the child does not have much confidence, much abilty to think for themselves and once they are out of their parents reach they tend to go off making choices they probably wouldnt have made had they been allowed a little freedom growing up.

I was subject to that and finally did my "growing up" when I moved out.

being too strict definitely f's up your kids. It makes them rebel and then it also stagnates them from making the real decisions they need to make when they are free of their parents because they always doubt themselves. To this day i am always looking for acceptance and always second guessing myself because my parents were alwasy so on top of me. Its like you dont want them on top of you to begin with but then when they arent anymore you dont even know what to do with your self, you dont even trust your own judgement becuase they always told you you were wrong.
