Controlling Parents

Hey,
I have a friend who has controlling parents. They love her, and they're basically nice, but they're controlling. It's mainly her mum. She tells her what she can't wear, she won't let her do things that everyone her age (or a few years younger) does. They just want to protect her, but it's patronising, and it's annoying. Not just to me. She knows it to. She knows what I think, and she thinks the same. How wrong is it of me to encourage her to break her parents rules? Don't worry, not big ones, just small, stupid ones. I know it seems ridiculous, but if she doesn't push the limits a bit, she's either going to end up like her mother, or (more worryingly) have a massive, big style, rebellious explosion in a few years time. I'm probably going to do it anyway. But I was wondering if people think I'm doing the right thing.
