The day before yesterday, I encountered with one of my friends Jack and he complained to me that when confronting with the issue of whether to go to work immediately after graduation from university or to continue academic study as an alternative, without consulting with him will his mother make the final decision for him. Like Jack’s mother, worried about their old teenage children lacking the capacity of making significant decisions, a number of parents would like to make decisions for their offspring instead. However, when well-considering the beneficial and detrimental aspects of this behavior, contrary to the choices of these parents is my sincere assent with the stand that children between 15 to18 years old should make their own decisions as soon as possible.
Those parents who advocate the acts of giving judgments themselves as a substitute to their children overlook the truth that this kind of deed will lead to negative effects to the development of their children. Old teenage children who never make considerable decisions are able to forfeit the ability of critical thinking which is of great essence nowadays and required all but every career. To illustrate this problem, here is a persuasive example. My intimate roommate Ann is spoiled by her mother from the day she was born, and of course in no cases does she make her own decision. As a consequence, no matter what problem she faces, she has to turn her parents for help, even washing her clothes, let alone other critical issues.
What is more, children in 15-18 are supposed to hold responsible for their statements and actions, however, those who rarely make vital decisions themselves have no awareness of the innate meaning of responsibility and therefore are not expected to be liable either. For instance, as what I have mentioned, Jack fails to give his verdicts on the pursuits after graduation from university, as a result, when he follows his mother's resolution, he has no idea about what to do and how to do well in his unfavorable field.
As a matter of fact, it is necessary to ask parents for advices when old teenage children, lack of life experience, make their independent decisions. The successful or failing experience of their parents or other adult relatives can be a mirror to them. In order to gain the ultimate achievement, they had better to follow the route of those successful people.
In short, judging from the convincing evidences presented and countless supporting reasons and concrete examples not involved, although there are several advantages of making decisions by parents, I maintain that it is old teenage children themselves that should make significant decisions with the suggestion from their parents and other adult relatives.
