Freedom and Teenagers

I could be a bit biased but I feel freedom is something a teenager needs to learn more about the world but too much is bad. If a parent is always around the child will never learn to be on their own. Always being around especially a teenager usually ends up making them annoyed and angry with their parents because they want to learn and go out. A parent may care and that being the reasoning of never letting a child go out and yelling at them if they don't call every 15-20 minutes their out but it makes the teenager resent them. I think a parent just needs to learn a good balance of freedom and caring, because too much freedom is also bad. Giving a teenager or child too much freedom makes them feel abandoned to an extent. I just think there is a right balance of freedom needed because being a helicopter parent will cause a teenager to view parents as obstacles and constant anger toward their parents who are trying to care and protect them.
