OBW, all I can really say is when there's an appearance of two sets of rules.
I believe many young people want to know what the guidelines are, where the boundaries lie, and that there is consistency. When there appears to be two sets of rules, a young person can get discouraged quickly. The early teenage years is what I consider to be the most impressionable and delicate time of a person's life.
