Should teenagers below eighteen years old travel to foreign countries on their own?
Being able to travel is a privilege. Nowadays it is getting more and more expensive and people is earning less and less money. But for those who can afford it, is one of the most amazing and exciting situations someone can experience. Besides that, many parents believe that children under eighteen years old shouldn't travel on their own because of the risk that traveling alone carried. In my opinion, teenagers should have the opportunity in a lifetime to discover and explore new boundaries. One of the reasons I had based on for providing children under eighteen years old to travel to foreign countries on their own is that they can learn to take care of themselves and be responsible. Teenagers are similar to birds; the more freedom they get, the better behavior they will have. In fact, it have been proven that teenagers are more mature because of the improvement of manners than they used to do decades ago.
Another reason for supporting teenagers under eighteen years old to travel to foreign countries on their own is that it Is a completely new experience in their lives. Due to the fact that we are not involved when making all the important decisions, by traveling alone we are force to do it and we learn from it at the same time. Also, it should help us to have our own perspective of the world so that we could have unique stories to talk about.
To summarize, I deeply support teenager under eighteen years old who want to experience foreign travel on their owns, I believe it is a brave action that should be considered by parents when making the final decision. Remember that it is a opportunity of a lifetime for teenagers to learn how to take care of themselves, to improve their decision making and to have a whole new and unforgettable experience for the rest of their lives.
