Teenagers

For most teenagers, making decisions is one of the most difficult things to do. One of these decisions is to do what your parents want you to do or what you want to do. Obeying is following what someone orders you to do, while independence is having the free will to do what you want to do. Obeying and becoming independent are both important, but there is aright time for obedience. You can't just be independent at a young age. What would you do? Go to bars? Drink beer? Smoke? The same principle goes for obedience. You can't still be too obedient to your parents when you are already working. Fine, let's say the really toaught you well since you were a kid and guided you all the way. What if suddenly something happened to them and suddenly left you,what would happen to you? You would be just standing and staring, never knowing what to do next. What I am trying to say is that kids should listen to their parents while they are still being taken care of, and when you are nearing your independence, you should already know by that time that you know what to do and do it, not just for yourself but also for your family. Since you know that it's got to be done and you learned it from your folks while growing up, you will want to do it.
Most of today's teenagers want their independence early, thinking that they can take care of themselves. But it doesn't work that way, even if you think that you can live by your own, you should still follow your parents until you can be independent. Following what our folks say we grow up learning lots of things and what what we learn from them becomes part of our free will. It's for our own good, despite of what you think is right for you.
