By the time I was 18, I was involved in 2 youth groups (as an advisor), running a private library, and never had an allowance. I did odd jobs, worked part time at a bakery etc... I did have use of my dads car, I admit, but I was taught responsibility, and had to earn my way.
Also my high school hours was 7:30am - 7:10pm mon-thur, fri 7:30-12.
Is that control, I do not know, but i do know it taught me I controlled my financial situation, and had the ability to affect others.
