<![CDATA[Parenting style is an activity of guiding, educating, and raising children. There are three types of parenting styles, i.e., authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive. This study investigates the effects of authoritarian parenting on adolescents' character in the coastal community at North Aceh. It is a qualitative study in which the participants were fifteen fishermen who have adolescent children between 12-18 years old. The data were obtained through interviews and observations, which were subsequently analyzed qualitatively. The results showed three negative effects of authoritarian parenting on adolescents' character, i.e., disobedience, impudence, indiscipline, and irresponsibility. Negligence of these adverse effects may lead to criminal acts in adolescents and affect their future mental development. ]]>
