Opinion Essay
Should teenagers decide about their own future alone or guided by their parents?
Students should decide about their own future alone because they should think about their plans by themselves and they should learn how to be independent. They should think about their future alone because one day they will not have anyone who can help or give them advice. They will live alone.
For this reason, they will have a new family and begin a new life far from their parents. In conclusion, parents are very important, but there will be a time when teenagers will leave their house to live their own life without the help of their family.
