Your thoughts about strict parents make a lot of sense! It's cool how your parents being strict helped you become disciplined and successful. Finding the right balance between being strict and understanding is really important just like you said

I get what you mean about the emotional side of things too. Dealing with really strict parents can be tough emotionally but I admire how you faced it head on. Your idea of talking to your parents about the good and not-so-good parts of strictness is smart.

I also liked hearing about your parents rules like giving time to studies and play. It's awesome they support you while setting some limits. And you're spot-on about emotional stuff – it's tough when someone tries to make you feel bad. Your advice to seek support is super helpful. Cheers to having supportive parents like yours
