Parenting adolescents can be very difficult. My parents had 5 children within the span of 6 years. We are all at the age of testing their patience. They love us no matter what but I do notice the differences that they had in parenting us. My two older brothers were always really good kids and they went out in high school but they never went pass curfew or went every weekend. When I got to high school age I went out way more then my brothers. I always pushed the limits and was late. So their parenting styles changed over time because I was more of a social bug. My younger sister was like my two older brothers. She always hung out with the right people and didn't every cross my mom or dad. Now my younger brother is to that age and he is a lot like me. He has a way stricter curfew and he has to tell mom and dad at all times where he is. I think it's like this because of the example I set for him. I wasn't a very good child I'll admit and they learned from their mistakes with me and now he has it way worse.
