Abstract
Adolescence is a crucial stage of psychological and emotional development, during which parenting practices significantly influence mental well-being. This article examines the impact of authoritarian parenting style on anxiety and stress levels in adolescents. Based on developmental psychology theories and previous empirical studies, the paper highlights that excessive parental control, strict discipline, and low emotional responsiveness are associated with increased anxiety, stress, and emotional difficulties among adolescents. The findings emphasize the importance of supportive and balanced parenting practices for promoting adolescents' psychological well-being.
