Effective Use Of Parenting Styles In Boyz N The Hood

In the movie “Boyz N The Hood”, many things contributed to the outcomes of the characters Tre, Ricky, and Doughboy (Darren). Tre’s parents used the authoritative parenting styles. While he was with his mother he signed a contract that if he got in any more trouble he would have to go live with his father. When he came to live with his father, he was given chores to do around the house and he had no choice, but to do them. Furious expected Tre to do well in school and respect those around him.
