The study found that in more risky neighborhoods, teens with more restrictive parents had higher grades in school, possibly due to the parents' efforts to protect their children from the negative influences in the neighborhood. However, in less risky neighborhoods, teens with less restrictive parents had higher grades, possibly because these parents gave their children more independence and allowed them to explore and learn on their own.
