Good evening, adjudicator and chairperson. Todays topic as, I’m sure you all know is that parents should be held responsible for their teenage children’s actions. As the affirmative team, we believe this statement is absolutely true.

Today I’ll, be convincing you of this by showing you that as parents are most definitely financially responsible and as they are role models, who are a huge influence on their teenage children’s actions.

To begin with, as we all know parents are the main or, all the financial support for teenagers. The Junior Achievement Teens and Personal survey states that only 1% of teenagers aged 15 to 17 years old can support themselves financially without the help of a parent or guardian. For this responsibility Parents are expected to provide for their teenage children, and in this case it’s paying school fees, for schoolbooks, uniforms, accommodation, food, entertainment, clothes and much more, just what teenagers usually and necessarily need. Now let’s say that a parent doesn’t take that responsibility and fails to accomplish it, their teenage child’s actions, resulting from this, would become the parent’s responsibility, right ladies and gentleman? For example if a parent failed to pay for school fees, school uniform, plus school books and that teenager is uneducated its the parent’s responsibility. Which is a serious matter with serious consequences, as shown in the G Gawker CDC big annual report from 2005-2013 which states that young people uneducated leads to higher rates of obesity among their children, Higher rates of obesity for woman, breastfeeding children less, more likely to smoke, less likely to get tested for colorectal cancer and most importantly having a significantly life expectancy. If a teenager becomes homeless, it’s the parent’s responsibility, for not providing accommodation. If the teenager is sick or underweight it’s the parent’s responsibility, for not proving food. If the teenager is suffering depression,

    Parents should allow their children to grow up on themselves for them to be able to make difficult decisions, so they realize how it is out in the real world. In both the articles “‘Snowplow Parents’ may be trapping their children” and “Kids of Helicopter Parents Are Sputtering Out” show that students’ parents are way more involved in their lives than they should be. Students should be allowed to have more freedom to be able to have fun, but they should also know that having an education is important to become successful or at least be smart in an area of their interest. As students graduate high school they are only a step away from being left alone by their parents and having freedom. Parents should be there to listen to their child’s needs…

    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.…

    As I mentioned previously, I grew up in a culture that abhorred the thought of “babying” their offspring, an activity that most helicopter parents willfully partake in. Most Bermudian fathers even seem bothered by offering their sons any semblance of comfort when they’re upset. So the vast majority of adolescents that I have met over the years after probably some of the most confident and self-assured people I’ve ever known. They have no problem making their own decisions, even though some result in terrible consequences that no one ever seems to learn from. We’re like baby birds that have been pushed out the nest far sooner than we were ready for and although we can fly in some way, we never again learn to rely on others around us. We often become “adults” earlier on in life, leaving college as a pointless experience because we already have everything figured out. Our lives can become filled with deep regrets at not having enjoyed our childhoods a little more thoroughly. Perhaps, rather than helicopter parenting and hardly parenting at all, children and adolescents alike need something in between that can produce a self-sufficient generation that’s wiser and less regretful.…

    Nonetheless, in your article you have declared that teenagers do some foolish things. I truly understand that teenagers makes some thoughtless mistakes and can’t yet think straight however I can assure money takes a huge part in all of the problems the world faces till this very day with the cause of poverty and economically harassed parents who have to work late nights to pay for new school uniforms that eternally need replacing as teenagers mature and hit puberty, without teenagers realizing it can lead them to serious misconceptions and making bad decisions at the heat of the moment.…

    I chose this issue because I believe our youth is our future. With more children being brought onto this earth with less guidance than others I believe that only bad can come out of it. As studies showed, children are at a less advantage when a younger parent, who is in a sense still being supported by another in some form of way themselves, is their caretaker. Not to knock any teen parents who has been doing what is…

    First of all, the primary source uses many words to describe adults’ actions to indicate the oppression teenagers suffered right now. Evidence like “clean up your looks,” “watch all the things you do,” “got methods of keeping you clean” and “rip up your heads” clearly show what kind of oppression teenagers have and what they need to resist. Adults are trying to make teenagers fit the “good standards” created by them. Good teenagers should be innocent, be obedient, study hard and so on. What’s more, adults are ready to find out teenagers’ mistakes at any time so that they could guide teenagers to what they thought is the correct way. They also want to make teenagers believe that the adults’ words are all right. Teenagers who live in such environment…

    “You are pacing down the dark silent street, it is so quiet you can only hear your pounding heartbeat, a car pulls up in front of your feet, as the car door opens, one of your friends tell you to get in, everyone is drinking alcohol and you slowly start to lose control. Your window is half open, your bed is untouched and your parents are unaware that you are moving further and further away from safety. How are your parents supposed to keep you alive when the car has crashed on the side of the road? How do your parents know that you are gasping to breath when they are fast asleep? You slowly start losing blood; your whole life is at stake just because you simply did not listen to your parents’ guidance. Is this suddenly their fault because they went to sleep not knowing that a crash was going to happen?” This is a possibility of what could happen to ones child, or what could be possibly running through a teenagers mind. Should parents truly be responsible for their daughter’s actions when they have given them all the guidance to know their rights and wrongs? Parents should NOT be held responsible for their children’s actions…

    Apart from relying on the construction of youth centers, parents must realize that they are also responsible for their children's actions. By spending more time with their children and caring more about their personal life, parents may play an active role in decreasing the rate of teenage crimes since the teenagers would have adults to turn to when they meet financial and psychological difficulties. Apart from preventing crimes, parents' care may also help…
