In this study, 736 students were randomly selected to access the perceived parenting styles and emotional and behavioral problems. The necessary data were collected through the questionnaires to find out the perceived parenting styles and emotional and behavioral problems of Grade 11 students. In this study, two questionnaires were used: Scale of Parenting Style developed by Gafoor, Kurukkan, 2014 and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire developed by Goodman H, Melzer Z, Bailey V (1997). Scale of parenting style questionnaire consists of 38 items and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire consists of 20 items. Descriptive statistics of perceived parenting styles of students showed that most of the parents preferred authoritative parenting style. The result of the Chi-square statistics also confirmed that father’s parenting style was significantly different according to father’s education, but mothers’ parenting style was not significantly different according to mother’s education and parenting styles were not significantly different according to parents occupation. Then, in conducting descriptive statistics of emotional and behavioral problems of students, the result showed that 22% of Grade 11 students suffer high level of emotional and behavioral problems. When conducting emotional and behavioral problems by gender, school location and parent’s occupation, girls were higher in it than the boys, students in rural setting were higher in it than students in urban setting and students whose mothers were merchants were higher in emotional and behavioral problems than others respectively. Finally, the result of the ANOVA revealed that there was no significantly different in emotional and behavioral problems between different parenting groups.
