Sociology in talkshows

All of a sudden I found myself thinking sociologically when I was watching this talk show and the theme was young children and their problems with the parents.  Basically one part was the teens doing whatever they wanted and the other part was teens not doing anything, but hard work.  The one said teens were drinking, not going to school, doing whatever they wanted and the parents needed help controlling them and finding a way to cope with them.  On the other side the parents were really strict on the children and did not let them do anything but hard work.  They were really strict to the children and that was what the show was about taking part of one side and putting it to other for help.

Looking at it in a sociological point according to Mead the relationship between the teens whose parents pushed them to the extreme wont have the ability to form a close and happy bond and because of this it would affect their personality in the future.  Same thing goes with the parents and teens who are not doing anything good.  They both need to find a balance between being a parent and being a friend or between being strict and being lenient.
