When Should Parents Let Teens Make Their Own Decisions?
Conclusion Introduction Do you believe that teenagers are responsible enough to make their own decisions? This argument topic is very common within the age group of 15-18 year olds. There has been research stating that giving a little freedom to a teen to make a decision is a great way of learning responsibility. It’s a great controversy but I believe that parents should still guide their teen till they’re 18, but let them have some freedom. We have parents for a reason. It's their jobs to show and guide us. Without our parents , teens will enter the adult world with no experience and knowledge of the outside world. Regardless of the fact if they are 15, 16, or 17, they are still considered to be minors. The parent consent is very important in a teen’s life. A parent's advice can go a long way. A parent does whats best for their child. My Argument In my opinion I think the teens are right when it comes down to this situation. I think that its healthy that the teen has freedom in order for them to gain experience and be comfortable with making their own decisions. Let the teens experience their teenage years and gain experience. Its important that they feel the confidence to go on their own. I have concluded that my decision is that parents should let their teens start making their OWN decision once they're 18. I don't agree fully on either side. Many would differ from my opinion, but as I have said before, one should have the liberty to make a decision. However giving the right to the teen to think for them self and to try to make a decision will benefit and make them a better person. Teens need to have their own personalities. Too much control can lead to rebellion. What's going to happen the day when they step out of the shadow of their parent and do things for them self for the first and they won't know what to do.
