Hong Kong parents are rated among the worst in Asia by their children, a survey shows.
Reader's Digest magazine interviewed 1,463 boys and 1,749 girls, aged 14 to 18, in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
They were asked to rate their parents in 37 areas and give them an overall grade. The questions included how well their parents showed affection, how well they communicated, and how well - if at all - their parents informed them about sex and drugs.
They were also asked what they would do differently when they become parents in future.
Of the 3,212 respondents, 400 were from Hong Kong. Their fathers scored particularly badly in the survey, with a D+ grading. Mothers received a B+. Hong Kong parents were among the worst in Asia, with a C+ average - the same as Taiwanese parents.
Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian parents received the top overall grades, scoring a B average.
Hong Kong teenagers said their parents did a good job in working hard, loving their children unconditionally, providing a home where their children feel happy and safe, teaching them the difference between right and wrong and for making an effort to remember or celebrate their birthdays.
