To be honest i really don't think they would listen to reason. Although some children should obey their parents, they will still most likely want to rebel. Kids will be kids, just as I am sure you have done the same thing you listed above. To be honest with you I think maybe its there to have bad influences on children because they are more susceptible to things that parents don't like. It's nothing we can change, but I do believe parents should care more about how their children grow up.
