Do you agree or disagree
with the following statement? Parents or other adult relatives should make
important decisions for their (15 to 18 year-old) teenage children. Use
specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Parents are in most cases
our first teachers and friends. From my everyday experience I have to agree
with the statement that important decisions should be made by our parents or
adult relatives. In the following paragraphs I will give my reasons to support
this statement.
First of all, teenage
children have the tendency to live in their own fantasies. They does not
clearly understand the rules of a real life. When I was 18 years old I thought
that the world was perfect and everything seemed to be simple. Teenagers are
basically inexperienced, they aspire for independence and try to make their
first steps towards freedom. I think
that it is like starting to walk when a baby needs its parents for support. An
independent life is a big and significant part in a person's life. So, my point
is that it is very important to make this step right.
Second of all, I think
that parents have right to interfere in their children's lives. They need to
know what kind of friends their children have and how children spend their
spare time. For example I had an eighteen years old friend who got really angry
with his parents when they prohibited him to be friends with a young man.
Somehow his parents found out that that young man was occasionally taking
drugs. That man was dead in a year because of drug abuse. After that accident
my friend thanked his parents for that interference.
Finally, I think teenage
children should be more open-minded with their parents. It will help them to
make the right choice and avoid many mistakes.
To sum up, I believe that
young people should trust their parents because they wish their children only
the best.
