Teenagers
Every teenager loves the feeling of freedom and being able to do whatever they want. Now when it comes to responsibility not everyone can do it. So how much freedom and responsibility is right enough for teenagers to have in making their own decisions? Teenagers are suppose to have just the adequate freedom and responsibilities according to their age. Giving them too much will overwhelmed them or giving them little can cause for them to run over you. Not too much and not to little.The first thing to do is not to give teenagers too much freedom. Most of the time the consequences are that they will become rebel. That's when they will start running over you. That's when you decide to give them certain freedom depending on their age. Like when they are 16 let them go to the movies or out but until 10pm or 11pm. One their 17 or 18 let them be out more until midnight or 1a.m. Let them know they are responsible of their own actions of what they do or if they don't follow their curfew.Teens need to learn a lot on being responsible. They can start by paying for their own bills if they are working. For example if they want a cell phone then they can, but as long as they pay for it. For teens that are not working then they can help out with chores. Parents need to teach them responsibility in certain ways so once their older they won't be irresponsible in life. The more responsibilities a teen has the more it will help in his/her future and gain more freedom.Basically teenagers can have just the normal appropriate freedom for their age. When it comes to responsibility then they are allowed to have allot of it. That way they can know better. Plus the more responsible the more parents will be adding to their list of

    With teenagers things get a little harder. They are torn between being a child and a young adult. You want to be sure they are not doing things they shouldn’t, but you don’t want to pry into their lives too much. They are trying to be independent from you, and do and make their own decisions. Parents of teenagers in our society must learn to listen to what their offspring are saying, especially what they are saying to one another (Stern, Larosa pg.39).…

    A community correction is something that an individual receives for a crime they have committed. Some of these things that a person receives is based on their criminal record, Probation status, and if they are a repeat offender. Some people are placed in jail or prison, while others are placed on community service, work release, probation, and house arrest. Community corrections affect society in which they are practiced by helping the accused try to lead a normal life by helping them when they are out in the community doing specific tasks, such as picking up trash on the side of the road. There are some people who are put on community corrections to keep them from going to jail. If the crime the person committed isn 't bad enough, then the person is assigned to do this to help do things in the community. This keeps the person from going to jail and this allows other individuals who have committed more violent crimes to be put in jail instead. The jails are already overcrowded as it is. If we allow people who have committed petty crimes to be put on probation, house arrest, or community service, then this allows for other individuals who have committed more harsh crimes, such as murder and theft to be put in jail instead. If everyone who committed a crime was sent to jail, then the jails would be so full there would not be any room left for people who commit crimes to go. They would have to build a lot of jails in every city and state in order to put these individuals behind bars.…

    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. In my opinion, parents should let their teenagers make their own decisions because it helps them in knowing what is right from wrong in the future and to help them in becoming more self-confident.…

    Now a days it seems like teens are getting their selves into more trouble than they were before. There is a lot of drugs and more dangerous things now to put the teens in harm. Curfews may keep teens safe so they’re not out late in the dark but it sure does not keep them out of trouble. Teens have their own mind and are going to do whatever they please because in their mind they think “I’m old enough to make my own decision, I don’t need my parents to make decision stuff like that. I was a teenager at one point in time and didn’t like my parents making my decisions because I wasn’t a little baby anymore and I knew exactly what I was doing and saying at that age.…

    Why doesn’t society give people of young age a chance? Everyone is different. Not all are violent, wear hoodies, and are ignorant. Some of us are mature, do well in school and are on the right path in life; so to be stereotyped into one category by older adults is unfair. Young people in our society today are viewed in a negative way. They are often frowned upon by society based on a few of their peers being violent, untrustworthy, and incapable to accomplish greatness. Teenagers are seen as a threat to society. Adults often don't trust younger people. They also tend to assume the worst of them. Even the elderly are afraid of our youth now days to a certain extent. I know a lot of peers just like myself who are the opposite of what society thinks of them. They are good people that are focused on school and are becoming something in life. Then, there are the ones that just do not care. In the modern day I feel that society should give those younger than 30 the chance to prove themselves. We are automatically judged to be the worst, and kind of shut down. In a recent magazine article “Never trust anyone under 30” Dawn Rougeux expresses adult society’s attitudes toward young people.…

    As we grow older they seek freedom and more independence. But sometimes along the way we can break our parents trust. Depending on the parent and the teen, because everybody is different, the consequences are different and the adult or parents usually tightens up their grip with the rules. What does that do? We need to make small mistakes to learn for ourselves and not just from what our parents tell us. For example, you ask to go to a party that you know there will be alcohol at. Your significant other or parent says no because they were a kid once too and know how parties turn out at your age. How is this fair? Most likely they got to experience what parties were like when they were a kid but they put their knowledge of when they were young up against our freedom. What does it really mean to you if you don’t get to experience something for yourself? It’s like when somebody tells you about this one time they saw a mermaid. Do you believe them, and does it even mean anything to you? Studies show that if a teenager is given more freedom they are more than…
