Should your legs be parallel to ground on the squat?

As the title says. Should your upper legs be parallel to the ground? Cos mine aren't! They are when I do a squat without any weights but not when I squat with weights.

    With the weights, I try to get them as parallel as possible.

    I do the best I can. I have never gotten my legs parallel to the ground (bad knees) with or without weights, but I do think that's the ideal. Maybe lighten the weights to the point where you can get parallel and work up from there.

    Yeah maybe i should start very light. If I can do it without weights i should be able to do it with weights. I started off with 11kg now I'm on 15kg, but i suppose there's no point in increasing weight if I'm not doing it correctly is there?
