dc.description.abstract	This study exammes the relationship of parenting behaviors on adolescent outcomes. 1 Parenting behaviors were categorized in to four categories based on parental monitoring and parental acceptance dimensions. These were authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent . and neglectful parenting behaviors. Adolescent outcomes considered were adolescent academic achievement and adolescent substance use. A sample of 300 students of grades 9 and 10 from three general secondary high schools in Bahir Dar town were examined in these three variables. Pearson product moment correlation analysis revealed that there are significant relationships among parenting styles, adolescent academic achievement and substance use. The multiple regression analysis showed that parental control significantly predicted adolescent substance use. In addition, the two way analysis revealed that the difference on academic achievement and substance use is predicted as a function of parenting styles. There is also statistically significant difference on adolescents' academic achievement and substance use as a function of four parenting styles.	en_US
