you have to adapt to each kid IMO...my parents had a base level of expectations for all of us, but while my middle bro needed more rules, my parents didn't really bother me too much because i was always pretty mature and generally showed good judgement and was able to keep myself on track.
Yeah 👍 every kid is different and I think the best thing parents can do is to get to know their kids.

Above the fray.
No, read these two quotes...

Society chews young Black boys up and spits them out. No second chances, no do-overs. Mistakes that other demographic groups can overcome , can hinder and derail the lives of our young men. Or even take their lives.This is their REALITY.

And with a straight face, you put these quotes up.?

Makes you detail oriented, hard working, driven to success.

Downfall, you might not learn how to converse around regular people, could be prone to loneliness, you may burn out early in life.

I grew up with my pops and just him. He was damn near a drill sergeant. We never talked at dinner tables, we never had regular conversations about…anything really. Just talked about school and that’s it.

Strict is never good

Having rules and being strict are not synonymous

You pretty much proved why with the example you chose, OP :dead:

MJ was humiliated, beaten, exploited, and traumatized by his father's abuse

He didn't need to go through all that to learn the it's and outs of business

A child should never have to hate their parents for the way they were raised

Unfortunately, some people find it hard to let go of old ways of parenting :francis:

It depends on how you look at it. Yes he was successful but at the same time he had a lot of self hate issues he was socially awkward and was trying to be Peter Pan in his 30’s. Abusive strict can cause detrimental effects into adulthood.
facts. im not trying to be an ungrateful c*nt but it really is a complex issue. when i think about my current life, i fukked up but i somehow still made it ahead of a lot of my peers. me getting in trouble internally reinforced what they were trying to tell me the whole time. i just didn’t see it through at first. it multiplied my discipline and isolation and made me work even harder once i discovered human nature for myself.

if you’re not given guided freedom and practical advice outside of “read your books” you can become a follower of others and chase the wrong things by looking at instant gratification and the fear of missing out

You are missing my point. Being overly strict weakens them, the goal is balance and not total independence or complete strictness.

Strict varies from house to house. Some people will argue having to complete homework before they can go out and play strict.

you end up having to live up to an image that’s established by your high discipline, academic success, and family legacy but if you burnout or start fukking up then you feel like the world is crashing and get mad anxiety still trying to keep up the facade of people’s prior perception of you.

you also may become more prone to being easily influenced by others and if you get in trouble or taken advantage of dealing with the wrong people, you may start to build some resentment for not being raised to more socially aware/tactful
