Teenagers are not mature people mentally as well as physically. Hence, many parents think the decisions made by their teenage children are also immature and they have to make important decisions for their kids. However, I strongly believe that old teenagers not their parents should make their own decisions because parents cannot understand what teenagers think and making a decision is a part of socilization.
First of all, parents often confuse what their kids want with what they want. It is important to keep in mind that parents make decisions for their kids but not for themselves. However, many parents have difficulties to communicate with their teenage children and understand their thoughts. In this situation, parents may make a wrong choice which is not suitable for their children. For example, I saw one documentary about education and the director interviewed some unhappy people who have jobs they do not want. It was surprising that the aspect they have in common is that their parents chose jobs for them. Like this, when making a decision for their kids, parents often make a mistake to choose what they want because they do not understand what their kids like.
Another important thing to consider is that making a decision is essential step in socialization. It is true that teenagers are not mature and have to develop their thinking. However, it is natural process for socialization. Through making a decision by themselves, childern can learn they have to take a responsibility for their decisions and how important it is. In constrast, the responsibilities belong to parents if they make a decision instead of their kids and kids never learn how to take a responsibility. Also, childern can grow as independent individuals through choosing what they want. By trial and error, they can grasp how to make a choice by themselves.
Parents are always worried about their kids and they hardly can see their kids are in trouble. However, it is not right for parents to make significant decisions for their kids because they may make a wrong decision due to lack of understaning about their kids and it is impporatnt for teenagers have to make a decision by themselves because this is an essentail part of socialization. | |
