Parents should help determining the future of their children rather than allow children make their own choices.
It is a common belief
that parents, with more experience, social knowledge, and deeper thoughts,
could make better decisions for their children’s future life. Indeed, parents
determining the future of their children rather than allowing them to make their
own choices have positive effects. Hence, I firmly agree with the statement.
Initially, decisions
made by children’s parents can lead children the right way. It is well-known
fact that parents are more experienced people than their children. Parents have
been in similar situations as their children before, and have learnt the
structure of the life with their experience. For instance, when I was young, my
parents made a decision about whether I transfer to another middle school.
Since my previous school was infamous for having disorderly students, my
parents pushed me to transfer to another one even though I had already attached
to the teachers and some friends in the previous school. Now that I think of
it, I appreciate my parents’ decision on the account that my grades had
improved a lot in my new school. Thus, children need and seek guidance from
their experienced parents who can guide them the right path.
In addition, it is a must for parents to play a role in deciding their children's future, as it is
their responsibility as parents. That all life should be respected and considered precious is true. Because
parents have given birth to their children, they are responsible for raising them properly for
their future. Without their parents, children would not even be alive;
moreover, they would have a hard time interacting with others in social life
when they grow up. It is essential for parents to have a say in their child's
future. For example, I have a friend who lost his dad when he was little. Although
he lives with his mom, his mom is a factory worker, so she is too busy to take
responsibility for his future life. For this reason, my friend does not even
know what to do when he grows up and he is depressed all the time. In order to
prevent this kind of effect, parents should play a big role in shaping their
children's future in a responsible spirit.
Needless to say, parents should help determine the future of their children rather than allowing children to make their own decisions. Not only can parents lead children the right way, but they are held responsible for helping decide the future of their children as parents.
