He says teenagers need to experiment with different things to learn what is bad and good for them. If parents limit their love life to whoever the parents want they won’t know if that type of person is for them or not. In my life my parents let me date and talk to any girl I want and from my experiences I've learned what type of girl I need in my life to make me and that person happy. I have a friend who isn't able to date until they graduate and they don’t have that good of social interactions with people making them very shy. Kids have the right to their own life and if a parent chooses who they marry or date they will be unhappy. The whole point of dating is to figure out if this girl is right or wrong for you and if parents choose who you marry you won’t know if this person is right for you or not. Parents do not have the right to control their kids love life and never should be able

    In Shakespeares twelfth night, the comedian ridicules established stereotypes associated with gender and social hierarchy, ultimately creating a comic effect which can be in multiple layers of depth in the play. He symbolically, through character development and course of action, underlines the ways in which human nature can undermine stereotypes and shows, that these rooted ideas have little to do with the way humans actually turn out to be. This, in turn, creates a comic effect, because all characters are very stereotypically accurate, yet still do not at all fall into their respective categories when it comes to behavioural actions and traits. The definition, according to the Oxford dictionary, of a stereotype is that it is a widely held…

    Personally as a legal adult today, feel that my parents do not need to be involved in any of my personal choice at all. It is not up to them to ever tell me as to when or not to do anything. If I felt the need to obtain birth control I should never have to run it by my parents first. It would be my own decision to be on the pill for my own protection not theirs.

    My mom used to tell me in the old days they were more strict than today. Their parents don’t let them go out without any companion. They had to do their chores every day before they could go out, and their parents also picked the right guy for them and that is hard because being with a guy that they don’t love is totally unfair. I can’t imagine placing myself in that situation but my parents are using that rule to me and it’s so unfair for my part. For example, there was a time that I had to go to my friend’s birthday party, and my mom wouldn’t let me go out without any companion, so I have to bring my cousin with me to be sure that I went there and didn’t go some other place.…

    Should parents be held accountable for the actions of their children? Hearing about what is happening in schools all across the country, being a parent they should talk to their children more about the outcome of something bad happening, maybe not as many young teenagers would go partying, do drugs or bully someone to the point of death. Communicating with your child is probably the biggest outcome of how he or she acts. Teaching them to respect the feelings of others and having them vent their frustrations and anger are all within the parent’s realm of authority (Coconi). It is a parent’s responsibility to recognize their child’s behaviors and rectify them before an innocent or weaker child is hurt (Coconi).…
