My adoptive parents sent me off to private school in which I boarded 5 days a week.
On the weekends id go into town and make friends with all the wrong people because of it with no restrictions. By the age of 14, desperate to fit in, I began generating "work" for many of my wankster friends who only knew how to sell drugs. I taught myself how to replicate bus passes and stamp cards, then IDs , government checks in which eventually graduating to counterfeit currency.
When I turned 18, in my first year of university,  my best friend snitched me out and I got 6 years in Federal Prison (4.5 served, 3 in max) and have been trying to reset and rebuild my life ever since.

So no, strict parents do not exactly cripple you in my opinion. The experiences you feel you miss out on in your teens and early years will be long forgotten about into adulthood.

I only had my mother and I followed in her footsteps and committed crimes and experimented with drugs at a young age because nobody told me it was wrong. Sometimes having a strict parent can be an amazing thing, not many people can break the cycle of being shitty humans if they aren’t raised properly. :)

Of course there is always too strict that is a big issue as it can cause the complete opposite and drive people to do the things they shouldn’t.

Compared to nowadays I hate that kids have xbox's, ps4s and all the games consoles and don't go out and play, when I was young I loved going out and playing football AKA "SOCCER" but you just don't see that now.

I think it would be cool to go back in time with what I know now.
