Do teenagers today make the smartest decisions? Or do teenagers today have the opportunity to make many of their own decisions? In comparison to past decades, children in this current society are making many of their decisions primarily on the basis that our society is more guarded and protective. Children very seldom run around the neighborhood freely and have random playmates. Everything is organized and scheduled allowing little freedom for kids to make their own mistakes. This mentality consequently runs over into the parents dictating who their child dates. Once again this lack of decision making prevents teens from learning from their mistakes and taking the responsibility for their own lives. Therefore, teenagers today should be able to choose who they do and do not date without their parent's consent.…
I agree with Kahn, parents do have a certain magnitude of authority over the youth of society, but it will only have a limited effect. Just as the aged people of today eventually gained or were allowed their ability to make their own decisions and others, so must the younger generation be able to do. This opportunity was one never given to Romeo or Juliet they were left in a position of the second type of connection, where their only option was to go against the rules and concepts set before them.…

If one takes responsibility for himself he will develop a hunger to accomplish his dreams. (Les Brown) Responsibility is a trait that a human should start to develop starting from his childhood. In addition, it is proved that anyone who started taking responsibility at a young age excelled in life better than a dependant person. All of this is the duty of parents who need give chances to their children to learn from their mistakes to become more mature.

Parents and guardians have to take charge and give a responsible role model to go by. Not only do they need to show responsibility, but also they need to teach their children how to explore what’s best for their life.

Parents always think that their kids remain kid even when they become adults. This is a hundred percent correct with our Asian people, the ones who culturally live in a big family with four or five generations in the same house. I believe that the young adults will hardly be mature if they keep staying with their parents. The sooner they stay apart, the more independent and responsible they are.When the young adults stay apart, of course they will face with some difficulties such as finance expense, time management and lack of direction from parents. However, these difficulties also are strong advantage for them if they can learn how to overcome all these. By facing with difficulties and managing their lives themselves, the young adults will be more mature and more independent than when they stay with their parents. This is called boomerang generation…
According to the stereotypes, I am one of the most untrustworthy, irresponsible people on this planet. As soon as your age starts ending in –teen, your life suddenly changes and all people do is judge the way you live your life. I find these stereotypes very offensive and for the most part untrue. Most of the teenagers that I know all want to be successful with their life and get a good education. We care about our future more than we get credit for and we care about more than just ourselves. One of my favorite stereotypes to hear is that we are never sober. All of these judgments are upsetting to her because it makes us look like we are all selfish idiots, which is not the case. I understand that there are some teenagers that do follow these stereotypes, but it’s unfair to categorize us all like that.…
