▶ Your Answer : When it is the time for young adults to graduate from high school, some people choose to move out of thier parent's house and others choose to stay with them. And the question arises, is teenagers moving out beneficial for them or not? Some people may argue that young adults should stay with their family as long as they can since it's a lot safer that way. However, I strongly disagree as living independently can encourage young adults to grow independence and allow them to interact with others more often.
To start with, living away from their home without family provides optimal environment for young adults to develop independence and mature them. Young adults don't ususally get much chance to solve important problems or overcome boundaries by themselves as there are family to rely on. This may be helpful for them at the time but this inhibits them from becoming more independent and mature. As teenagers are put on situations where they need to deal with their issues by themselves, they become resposible and capable of solving their own problems which helps them to gain confidence. This was true for my cousin's case. When he was a senior in high school, he didn't have a job and he just depended on his parent's for finantial support. Naturally, he asked his family for help in times of crisis as he was incapable of doing that by himself. However, when he graduated from high school and moved to city to attend university, he was alone and din't have anyone to ask for help. He struggled to adapt at first but he started working part time job and earning money by himself. Even though his parents paid his rent, he paid his food, clothes and other staples by himself. He realized the value of money and how hard it is to earn them by working and stoped wasting them. Since then, instead of getting help from his family, he supported his family by giving advices. This clearly shows how living away from family encourages to young adults to become responsible.
Furthermore, as young adults live far from home, they have more chance of meeting new people who came from different cities or even cultures. Not only that, since they don't spend much time with their family, they start hanging out with those new people more often, leading them to broden their horizons and improve their social skills. For example, when I was young I lived in small town city where I always lived and spend time with my family and same frineds all the time which didn't give me many opportunities to interact with others who have different perspectives and thoughts. However, when I went to New Zealand to study and away from home, it provided me environment where I could interact with people with diffrent backgrounds which prepared me for this globalized world where it's necessary to have social interacting skills with different cultures.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that it is necessary for young adults to live independantly as it helps them to develop indepedence and expend thier perspectives. |
