This study looks at how three parenting styles permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative affect adolescent behavior. It focuses on how parental participation affects adolescent compliance, aggression, social skills, and academic performance. The study highlights the benefits of authoritative parenting, defined by warmth and direction and fosters desirable attributes including high self-esteem and academic performance. On the other hand, strong regulations and authoritarian parenting promote greater obedience but are also associated with higher levels of violence and worse social skills. Using a quantitative method, the Parental Style and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) was utilized to classify parenting styles, and an instrument designed by Steinberg was utilized to evaluate the behavior of adolescents. 200 respondents were chosen through purposeful selection, and relationships between adolescent behavior and parenting methods were investigated using data analysis using SPSS 27. According to both descriptive and inferential analyses, the findings of this study demonstrates that authoritative parenting greatly reduces the likelihood of peer bullying in addition to helping adolescents develop better emotional regulation and social skills. The cross-sectional form of the study as well as the dependence on self-reported data, which restricts generalizability and causal inferences, are among its drawbacks. This study emphasizes the value of supportive, well-balanced parenting in promoting healthy adolescent development. It also emphasizes the significance that emotional intelligence and effective parenting techniques play in lowering harmful behaviors, which will ultimately benefit future generations.
