    When I was a teen, I believed in that too. The most strict parents had the most wild kids.

    As an adult, it’s now verified.

      My parents were the chill, openly weed-smoking guys that wouldn’t rat you out to your parents if you needed help (like a place to stay while coming down or whatever)

      This policy was explicitly because my dad worked yard supervision at the local elementary schools and 100% knew that those with the strictest parents were the ones who needed it the most as they had nowhere safe to go. The abused kids were second, many of them were neglect babies in our area so they got fucked up and went home to parents who didn’t care

      I went to a charter school for my freshman year that was mostly full of people who were kicked out of the school they kick you out of if you’re a problem child. Almost all of them were children of parents who worked long-ass days and came home to be strict as fuck

        Why were you at the charter school with all the naughty kids if your parents were super chill allies?

          New school, so it was their (bad kids) only option, parents were trying something out because they got sold on it

          Ended up being a bad idea overall for many reasons, that was a big one
