The Impact of Parenting on Adolescent Behavior Deviation

Abstract

Adolescence is a process marked by the search for identity. A person who transitions from childhood to adolescence will experience an identity crisis. In this case, support and attention from parents and the surrounding environment is needed. Parenting patterns have an important role in shaping the characteristics of children, therefore it is very important for parents to be able to direct their children to be good individuals. One of the negative impacts of inappropriate parenting is that it can form negative characteristics in children, one of which is behavioral deviation. Behavioral deviations, especially during adolescence, are closely related to parenting patterns. Some examples of deviant behavior in adolescence are children experiencing same-sex behavior, using illegal drugs, destroying public places, fighting, killing, stealing and so on.
