Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents or other adult relatives should make important decisions for their olders (15 to 18 year-old) teenaged children. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.


Answer

The teenagers between 15 to 18 years old look not enough old to decide everything by themselves. However, they need decide the important issues without the help of their parents or other adult relatives. If their parents decide the important decision, the children will regret in the future. By making a decision by themselves, they can train to make a decision, live joyfully by their decision and think their life by themselves.

First, the older teenagers need to train to decide what they do by themselves. People can not perform completely if they do not practice. Making a decision is the same. All of the decisions need responsibility. The older teenagers should learn the responsibility followed by decisions. If they only perform what other people decide, they will feel they are forced to do that. They will not feel responsibility in the performance.

Second, the older teenagers can live joyfully when they doperform what they want to do. People usually do not want to doescape from what they do not like. Even adults think that. Especially, the older children feel that. For example, they decide what field they are going to in the future. It is an important decision for themolder teenagers. Nobody can decide the important decision instead of the children. However, adults often try to decide the cildren's future. Some parents and relatives persuade the children to go to the field they recommend. For the children, the persuasion is annoying. They should live their life as they want.

Finally, the older children can learn by wrong decisions. Even if they make a wrong decision, adults should not help them. They can learn the best decision by the experiences. It looks to take a long time, but it is the shortest way. It is easy for adults to help the decision. The children only follow the decision. They can go smoothly without any experience of failure. However, it is not recommendable for their education. Wrong decisions are the best teacher for children.

As mentioned above, adults including the children's parents should not make important decisions. The children of 15 to 18 years old should decide by themselves. It is training, and they can live more joyful. Even if they make a wrong decision, it can be a good teacher. Considering that, children should make decision by themselves.
