actually i just found out this isn't a hot take. scientific research actually supports this.

Yes!!! When I started college I also noticed my friends with strict parents went wayyyy crazier than people with more relaxed parents. It was the first time they actually had freedom and they didn’t know how to act

Not only that but it’s also arguably less safe in some cases. My parents were incredibly strict, like it’s absurd and toxic. The amount of stuff I didn’t know going into college was in no way safe.

one time my friends were hanging at one of their houses and we were gonna go to the movies or some shit and his mom suggested the girls and boys have a race to the movies theater all so we wouldn't all be in one car

My ex best friend was raised under a roof like that with religious influence. Now she is hyper sexual, rebellious, backstabs/disregards others emotions for her own benefit, and steals other women’s men. She also has huge bursts of anger and fits. I asked her why and her logic is to get back at her parents and be seen. I know her parents meant well, but it did totally backfire. I worry for her now, she blocked me on everything after I tried to have a gentle intervention.

I mean my mom was pretty overprotective and I turned out fine.

Another aspect is it limits the amount of healthy connections kids make. I had overprotective parents and wasn’t really allowed to do much socially as a kid. I was super depressed because I’m an extrovert and my only interactions were with my cruel older sister. I was never rebellious but I think it indirectly led to my first (and only) abusive relationship in high school because I didn’t have anything I could compare it to and I didn’t think I could talk to my parents about it
