[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question is hard to answer universally -- look at families with siblings. One or two might be rule followers and one or two might be into drinking and sex at a young age. Same parents, same rules.

Sometimes its the personality, sometimes its the friends they spend a lot of time with in their formative years (12/13/14) and the boundaries those friends have, and sometimes its a traumatic event.  [/quote]

Agree with this.

My parents didn’t have very many hard and fast rules. But up until I left for college, I always told them where I was going, I always called when I got there, and I always knew what time to expect me home. I never actually had a curfew because they knew where I was every second. That was all me. I just felt like it was a courtesy to let them know so they wouldn’t worry. That’s just how I’m wired.[/quote]

This is how my parens were.  If I was late, I had to call.  I also knew where they were too. And, this was pre-cell phone days.  There is no excuse not to know where you kids are with cell phones and to call and verify if necessary.[/quote]
