what you said about the discipline is very true, coming from a child who grew up in a house with that 'you cant talk back even for your opinion' attitude 😭

[@CamKirkham]

Yeah it’s not nice to grow up with

[@NatePossibilities]

I told my dad when he was choking the fuck out of me at 13 for the hundredth time or so that I hoped he felt big, because soon I would be healthy and he would be an old ass man. I saw him again a couple decades later. I held the door for him. He had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized when he left. Ha...telltale heart syndrome, innit? Fuck that dude. Sometimes you don't even have to lay hands on people for their guilt to strike them down. I guess that's why some people believe in God.

[@softcloth69]

[@Quokkakey3]

This is how I was raised as well so I understand, and then my mom would get mad for not talking to her about stuff

[@ezrab7665]

[@WhereAmIAndWhy]

One of my biggest pet peeves is when a parent asks you a question, and you answer it, its "back chatting"

[@ryan-anarchist-2535]

I used to have a lot of teachers like this and it was awful. Especially at one school where a lot of the other kids bullied, blamed and scapegoated me

[@Existenceispain7]

Yeah I grew up where I had to stay silent or I was "back talking"

[@nameymcnameface1834]

The whole "talking back" thing frustrated me as a child, and it frustrates me now. It doesn't inspire respect, it only makes it so you can never quite relax around them because you don't know when a disagreement if you going to be framed as "disrespect". It's only one facet of parenting, obviously but... argh, I was shouting at the screen for that bit!

[@defenderofminorities3056]

talking back teaches us as kids how to confront or not confront situations when we get older, it's all about learning what to do and what not to do, parents who teach that talking back is always wrong should be ashamed.

[@me-dc8pj]

Also it just shows the parents can't argue their case well enough against the kids to hold up

[@MrSqurk]

Totally agree. I never even understood it as a kid. I remember my uncle saying “don’t talk back” and I responded with “that’s how conversations work”, he couldn’t handle it haha.

[@Speedoodleman]

@SteveyTheEx-Eeveebeing able to hold a conversation about why you’re being yelled at with an adult without being told to basically just shut up for no reason isn’t creating entitled children. What’s creating entitled children is being presented with behaviour that just says “you don’t need to listen to anyone when they’re in the right because you can just tell them to stop talking and be oblivious” Also fucking hell i hate this “zoomers are entitled” narrative. 1) half of the people that say this think zoomers are still like 8 2) every older generation insults the younger generation

[@Speedoodleman]

@SteveyTheEx-Eevee you’ll soon learn that many kids once they reach the age of 13 become moody teenagers. I know. Groundbreaking stuff.

[@teamaang7915]

From my experience kids appreciate it when you give them an actual answer to their questions, it's not 'back talk' if they ask questions, they're genuinely curious.

[@peachy8390]

you approach these videos so sensitively and handle all the topics in them so gently they’re my favourite things to watch :)

[@CamKirkham]

This is so nice! I try to give everyone’s perspective to understand why each person reacts the way they do, so thank you for this !

[@Child_Dog]

You're spot on about these folks seeming like bad parents. They're trainers, not parents.

[@RossHunter-qc4ee]

Natalie is literally just the guards from skyrim. "Disrespect the law, and you disrespect me."

[@Suzy24]

I wonder how much of this show is scripted because if they were really bad kids they probably wouldn’t apologise and agree to carry a pipe around a field 😂

[@CamKirkham]

Yeah I want to see deleted scenes

[@Child_Dog]

Also, I think you're the best YT at this old TV show breakdown stuff that I've seen. You make jokes and skits, but you still keep the show as the central focus rather than showboating over it, and explain the show and make a coherent narrative. SO many TV commentators just show memes and clips instead of talking us through the episode to enough of a degree that we can actually laugh along. ArthurTV's really good at it too, but you've nailed the perfect balance for me. Nice work fella.

[@Child_Dog]

Oh and you don't just pick the controversial/bad episodes, which I love. Like this had a legit uplifting ending.

[@CamKirkham]

This is such a nice comment mate. Thank you so much!

[@juggalettyjrb]

I have a sassy 14 year old daughter… thankfully nothing like these kids… but if she was, I would never ship her off honestly

[@CamKirkham]

😭😭

[@SinisterSkyler]

him referring to the CHILDREN as "back talking" whenever they try to say their side is aggressive narcissism at best. that man is a pos.

[@HG_Budde]

Not only is the "slosh-pipe" in my eyes, even though non-violent, a corporal punishment, but he already had that thing ready to go. The pen it lies in also looks as if it is reserved for this specific activity, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they use this method on their own kids too. 🤯 To me it even feels like between the biological children there's sort of an atmosphere of snitching on others in order to avoid being punished themselves going on; imagine what it does to a group of siblings that are forced or encouraged to snitch every single time one of the kids does something considered publishable. 🤮 In half of those episodes, the places the kids that are sent to for "social alignment", rather reveal cases of heavy child abuse than fix the problems the children were sent there in the first place.. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@jaskper]

[@JasmineEyre2000]

Awh the teddy trick was my method when I went into care, stashed an eighth and my grinder in his bum (poor thing), because he was a puppet teddy. Didn't work, the staff violated him and took it all. Nice to see the technique is used by other deviant children too xD

[@briannameehan6445]

This is 100% your best commentary video so far! I loved the greenscreens at the start and the flow, idk what youre doing but keep doing it!

[@CamKirkham]

Oh thank you so much! Will do 🙌🏻

[@bleukettu4521]

I grew up in a bigger family, but there is big gaps between us siblings (43, 38, 33, 21, 19) and us older 3 had very extreme rules growing up where the 2 youngest had almost no rules. It created a lot of resentment between us all that lasts till today.

[@Alphoric]

Asks a question Kid answers the question STOOP BACCKTWLKING

[@CamKirkham]

😭😭

[@Child_Dog]

Cam, going cold turkey from cigarettes, especially at such a young age, wouldn't really have too much of a detrimental effect. It can make you irritable and a bit headachey, but it's pretty safe to quit cigs cold turkey. Nothing like opioids or etc.

[@Child_Dog]

It is still kind of an unfair scenario on a kid who wants to behave though. I'd personally have done it that they have to quit 2 weeks before the show starts in order to be on it.

[@georgiawazhere]

i love the way u summarise some of the parts of the show bc i know if i was watching it by myself i’d probably skip through it. this episode was a lot more wholesome than i thought it would be so thank u for picking this one!

[@faelyndawnlake]

You should watch the one with the male gay couple who actually really save a young girls life. ITs one of my favourite episodes

[@WWNbroadcasts]

How do they save her life may I ask?

[@faelyndawnlake]

@WWNbroadcasts they got her off drugs and drink, helped with her mental health, rebuilt her relationship with her mother, I believe they essentially became her godfathers. She stayed an extra 2weeks/a month more with them

What you said about having them cold turkey is so true, like how tf do they except these kids to be kind if they're cold turkey off of everything?

[@hazybubblegum]

My grandma had the best afdvice for ADULTS around kids defending themsleves i try to remind myslef a lot now as a parent. "standing up for yourself does not equate disrespect, even from kids, because how do you expect anyone to know how to be respected if you only teach them how to give respect but not recieve it, because thats how you get adults that are riddled with anxiety" and i feel like these parents could use that tip of advice.

[@JunjiDorito]

I love revisiting these old shows via your channel. and youre able to crack jokes without just being cruel which is where so many commentary channels miss the mark.

[@jascelectronic]

All the "back chatting" shit is so stupid tbh, like when my teachers ask me why I'm late and I answer their question I'm apparently talking back, or if they ask me "do you think I'm stupid" and I reply with yes they get annoyed, like don't ask me questions if you don't want me to answer them.

[@briannahudson6329]

Pat made him do the lap carrying the "slosh pipe" for "lying" when he said he didn't have anything in his bag. But he didn't lie just answered the question he was asked. Pat didn't ask did you bring anything on the list of contraband or do you have any contraband on you. He specifically asked "Do you have any of the banned items in your bag" the boy said no cause he didn't have any in his bag, how is that lying?

[@Nebulametal]

"Watching 'World's Strictest Parents' is like stepping into an alternate reality where parenting styles are pushed to their absolute limits. It’s almost surreal to see how different cultures approach discipline and the expectations they have for their children. The extreme measures taken by some of these families are both fascinating and unsettling; while some teens clearly need a wake-up call, others seem utterly crushed under the weight of unattainable standards. It’s almost shocking to see the raw emotions that unfold-rebellion, anger, and occasional understanding-making each episode feel like a psychological experiment rather than just a parenting show. The strictness of these parents often comes off as over-the-top, leading viewers to question whether they genuinely believe such drastic measures will instill respect and responsibility or if it’s simply about control. Occasionally, the chaos and drama escalate to the point where it feels like the kids are not being treated as individuals but rather as projects to be fixed. Watching these teens grapple with such intense authority figures can be both painful and enlightening, as it highlights the complexities of familial relationships and the struggles of growing up under such scrutiny. On one hand, you can't help but empathize with the kids who feel suffocated by their parents' rules, yet on the other, you wonder if, in some cases, a lack of discipline has led them to this point. It’s a wild ride filled with awkward moments, emotional breakdowns, and unexpected insights that make you reflect on your own upbringing and the balance of freedom and structure. Overall, this show serves as a wild mirror reflecting not just the struggles of youth but the sometimes-ungraspable nature of parent-child dynamics, leaving you questioning what truly makes a successful family environment. Every episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, and by the end, you're left pondering how much of our upbringing shapes who we become, as well as how much is too much when it comes to parental control."
