Today even, parents don’t have time for their kids too. They are also busy in their work, business. They don’t have time to teach their children the moral values, behaviour. They keep themselves so busy that they almost forget about their children. If any child or teen ager has any problem and he or she wants to discuss with parents, for that parents don’t have any time to listen to or discuss that problem. Parents want to give every comfort of life to their kids and like this they make themselves so busy that they even cannot get enough time to spend with their children, to listen to them. They forget to tell them about their great moral teaching, values those play a great role to make a person's life happy. They just want them study these values but don’t teach them how to use these small things in their life. That is also a reason that children only think about themselves and they also…
The topic I chose to discuss would happen to be none other than “Option 2”, which refers to the article I have recently read titled “Why My Mother Wants Me Dead” by Sabatina James. According to the story it sums up family tradition and religion to have selected marriage partners for teen girls and strict guidelines. Certain acts such as not wanting to marry the partner selected for you by the parents can result in family disownment and death. The mother of Sabatina happens to withhold full authority in her life which effected her in a sense as well as forcing her to act against the marriage arrangements. In response to the option I selected, I feel the do’s of being a parent raising a healthy child consists of rules and laws. Although the child…
Also, these people help adolescents on their behavior and lead the way for their future. I think it is a very good idea for children and their parents because sometimes parents do not take the right decision for their children. Furthermore, nowadays people talk to a pedagogue or psychologist about their children's behavior and future. She thinks that the biological and cultural factors determine the modifying behavior of the youth. She says there might be more possible situations about this alteration, like early or late sex knowledge, early or late sex experience, discouragement of precocious development (Mead 213).…
Adult supervision of children is quite a controversial topic nowadays as there are so many different beliefs. The article “A Tale of Two Summers for Parents”, by Belinda Luscombe, brings up many points as to how depending on many factors, parents have to make this difficult decision. I believe that children do not need that constant supervision in their childhood because, it will lead to them being independent, growing stronger as an individual, and finally because it will allow the parents to keep a steady job. As a child grows up and expands their knowledge, they widen their boundaries in decision making.…
Parents are usually very warm, caring and loving to their children, but are not assertive or controlling, there are no demands from these parents (Wentzel & Russel 2009). Hence the reason why this parenting style has been highly associated with children’s and adolescents’ underachievement (Onatsu-Arvilommi & Nurmi, as cited in Aunola et al., 2000). The permissive parent promotes immaturity as well as lack of impulse control and self-reliance, the child also exhibits a lack of independence and social and cognitive competence (Baumrind, as cited in Starr,…
A: In today’s era family is become more of an anomaly. When I think back to the days of me being a child there a certain dynamics that I wish I could witness today in my children. For instance each day when I came from school it was mandated that I complete my homework before any other extracurricular activities. There were no exceptions and in doing so I was able to keep a consistent GPA, remained disciplined and understood the importance of balance. Unfortunately that’s not the case in many families as we now focus on athletics, talents, and interest as the primary focus. This shift has caused many of our youth to decline academically while hoping to be the next big sensation. The down turn is that when then doesn’t happen we’re then faced with adult un-educated parties that are struggling to support themselves and or their families because of the lack of knowledge. This clearly has a negative effect on society.…
Teenagers must have their freedom or else they will rebel against their parent’s rules. Parents cannot always keep a teenager locked up inside their house. Teenagers will do anything they desire to do regardless if parents give them permission or not. If feel a teenager must sneak out, lie, or skip school in order to be with their friends then they will do so. If teenagers are invited to out go out with their friends in the middle of the night, but they have a curfew and the only way they can go to the out by sneaking out of the homes. Doing things behind their parent’s back gives a teen a thrill and excitement. Teenagers, with no doubt, will sneak out their parent’s home if they see an opportunity. In result, parents have no clue their children where their children are, in fact, they have no clue their children have left. A parent must be in control of their children, but they must give their children their trust that their child will not go out causing trouble. If a parent raises a child properly, then he or she consciously know whether they are doing something wrong or right.…

While we have discovered possible causes that the adolescents act in the manner they do, it is important to investigate further on how to prevent adolescents from going down this lonely, dark path. In the culture today both parents are forced to join the workforce leaving teenagers without proper supervision. When the parents are home they are too tired, and overworked to maintain proper supervision. In determining what would save adolescents from the life of crime or long-term problems, much attention must be focused not only by the parent, but the community as a whole.…

Nowadays, more and more teenagers are becoming parents. They have children under the age of 20. However, becoming a parent at very young age has bad effects on the lives of the teen parents and their children. First of all, teen parents are likely to have problems with education and career. Young mother usually drop out of school when the pregnancy progresses and many of them either never return to school. Lower level of education does not allow them to get a proper or high salary job. Their career options are limited as well. They often work as workers, salesperson, maids, etc at low salary. Young fathers have to earn money for his families so they do a lot of part-time jobs, that lead to poor performance at school. Secondly, teenage parenthood has strong influence on children' health as well as the psychosocial development. The teen mothers are not fully grow-up, they often lack milk, knowledge and experience,… that lead to poor maternal nutrition for their children. Moreover, babies tend to have lower weight than average birth weight and low-birth weight babies are 5-30 times more likely to die than babies of normal weight. Because of poverty, poor housing, bad nutrition,… the children often experience high risks to both their health status and potential school achievement. Children of teenage parents may be more likely to become teenage parents themselves. Last but not least, due to many difficulties with raising the babies, young parents often have stress and have problems with each other. Furthermore, they are at such young age, young marriage and having children mean no freedom or later they may find that they do not love each other at all. Many teenage parents end up with divorce. Becoming a parent, at any age, can be life – altering experience. In conclusion, teenage parenthood has many far-reaching consequences for young parents, for children and for the society as…
Adolescents are constantly faced day to day with different decisions. Some decisions are simple to make because we are faced with them everyday day, but others are difficult because they are not ordinary decisions that would have to be made on a regular basis. Preparing for these situtaions will lead to a positive outcome. All decisions come with consequences either positive or negative. These consequences can also have risks either mentally or physically to oneself. Then why do people make the wrong decision and put their selves into bad situations.

In this essay I am hoping to answer these questions and provide some examples of good and bad decisions made by people today.…
I think that young people today are less dependent on their parents than in the past.

The connections between parents and children become less and less, so students need to be self-independent.…
