This research uses univariate analysis, and bivariate analysis uses the chi square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents were female, 173 people (60.3%), the majority of respondents were 16 years old, 136 people (47.4%), and the majority of respondents were first-born children, 115 people (40.1%) . The majority of respondents in the study had a democratic parenting style and experienced normal levels of stress, 111 people (66.1%). Statistical tests show that there is a substantial relationship between parenting methods and stress levels in adolescents with p value (0.000) < alpha (0.05). Thus, it may be said that parenting styles have a significant relationship with stress levels in adolescents.
