Should teenagers be given freedom of choices?

At first sight this could be seen as an easy question, but if we take a closer look
at the possibilities that this freedom of choice could lead to we realize it could be
quite a deep topic. The problem is not the idea of giving freedom to the teenagers
and young adults but the consequences a wrong choice could have on their lives.

As a 15 year old I feel as if I have a right to say this. For the many years I have
been going to school, going to all kinds of classes, or just being at home I have
always had rules. At school we have to follow rules to make the stay and learning
process as peaceful and productive as we can.

The other problem though is the other questions it raises with the idea of giving
freedom like: Parents could wonder how much freedom is too much or some
might wonder if it could be a sign of bad/good parenting if they let their child have their
freedom of choice.’

First of all, I think that giving teenagers the possibility to choose their paths. At
the core it seems to be a great idea, but considering the influence friends or so
called, friends’’ could have on the perceptions of teenagers, it could be quite
risky.

In addition, another concept related to this question that I have taken in

consideration is the idea based on the fact that teenagers are just practicing life In
their own ways, just being a part of growing-up. I know in fact it could be quite
hard to see teenagers picking bad choices or not choosing the path that their
parents wanted them to, on the grounds that they planned them to have a safe
and good future from the parental perspective. I understand It could be hard but
parents have to realize the fact that everyone has to take a path they take
pleasure in, in order to be so called ,,successful’’ and not have their life written by
someone who doesn’t live life from the teenagers perspective.

With all of that in mind, we could consider taking a look from another point of
view, for the example the one of closer relatives, especially the ones that are part
of the nuclear family. It could be hard seeing their children take a path that they
don’t consider quite, rewarding’’ or, worthy of them’’. For example there could be
situations where teenagers ruin their lives but at some point maybe they could
end up in a better position, compared to the one chosen by their relatives.

To round this all up I think that the choice of freedom is important and
combined with the education parents and relatives give their smaller ones could
have better results compared to being the so called ,, helicopter parrents’’.
