Margie asked:

I am doing a research paper on the relationship between parenting and adolescent delinquency (teenage range). I was hoping that my fellow opinionated yahoo-ers would have things to say about it. By parenting styles I mean anything, like parents always around, parents never around, tough love, parents that are or were delinquent themselves, and any other way that you would think of parenting… Is there a direct relationship between that and teenagers becoming criminals, doing drugs, stealing, breaking any laws, getting into a lot of fights, any delinquent behavior, what do you think? Do you have any personal stories or experiences to share? Any age, with kids or without kids, I would like your opinion, you don’t have to have a kid to know about parenting, you just need to have a parent… And if you would please include your age … (and gender if it isn’t obvious already) this would help tremendously!!!! Thanks a lot!!!
