Well, it seems that everyone is looking for the best way to raise their child, and I have found it!

I come from a family where the parents were always there, but it didn't seem like they cared. So my parents were also very controlling, and that led to social problems that made me a loser until I finally broke free.

My other friend, however, has parents that have let him do whatever he wants (he's still only 15, I"m 18) and he seems to have lived the life. They let him learn from his own mistakes, and he has become very self sufficient.

Basicaly, don't smother your kids, and let them learn on their own and make mistakes on their own.
