It is widely noted that in some countries, youngsters are brought up in a strict environment, whereas in other countries, it is easy to influence them due to the lenient behaviour in bringing them up. In my opinion, children must follow certain rules and

be left free, which help them build character. To start with, growing up in a strict environment, will have a huge impact on the youngsters, who eventually will grow up only to live by the books or by listening to elders.
However

,
this
Linking Words
behaviour does not let them explore other opportunities since they are bound to follow only the footpath of someone who has already walked the path.
For example
Linking Words
, in countries like India, the younger generation is expected to follow their parents, or live by their expectations

as choosing a career, which
in other words

can be coined as a mechanical lifestyle.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, a child who has not been cared for in a stern manner, have the liberty to lead a life without anybody's guidance and has a tendency to get into negative elements

as friends and habits. Eventually, their life turns upside down without an actual ambition to live for.
For instance
Linking Words
, a survey conducted by 'Child Safety Organization' in America states that up to 45% of
such

children lead their life in a criminal manner, out of which 21% of underaged teens are already in prison.
Therefore
Linking Words
, it is important to have some kind of authoritative figure to help kids choose their path. To conclude, children must have a liberal person who can bring them up in a strict, rather caring lifestyle, with whose experiences and rules, the youth can choose their own positive way of living. After all, youngsters today are the leaders of the world tomorrow.
