The problem with being overtly strict is that the kids might eventually rebel and wild out later on in life.
It depends. If the parent is genuinely very strong and controlling, the teenager will still never want to fuck with them. But if you are some ex-hippie parent who decided to raise your kids in a strict way, the kids will fucking own you when they become teenagers.

I would suggest always being true to yourself. Kids know if you're being genuine or not. My parents let me run free. I made mistakes, but I hated doing anything that would disappoint them. They didn't yell and scream when the police brought me home in the back of the police car, but I felt very guilty. Not scared, guilty.

I'm far more straight laced than the rest of my family today. I'm quite a square.
