One parent raises a child with an iron fist, but ironically does it with a perfect record of honesty; another parent raises a child with passivity and saturates their lives with lies; in this scenario, which one of the parents is right.

My friend, Nico, is from the same hometown as me and we became friends in high school. He was a relatively quiet kid and stayed out of trouble all throughout high school.
