Leslie Garrett’s article, “You Can Do It, Baby!,” conveys that parents and teachers are working against children when it comes to their futures. The article concentrates on the premise that our parents tell us that ‘We can be anything we want to be.’ It is told from the view of twelve-year-old Gwenyth and her reaction to be told that she can be anything when in reality she can’t. The author believes that we are causing more long-term negative effects on our children by telling them that they can…

The wellbeing of a family is usually the responsibility of the man in the family, although this is not always the case. Many times a family finds itself in a plight when there is a risk that the father working might lose his job, or the possibility of losing the closeness of a family. Additionally, it is sometimes common that the woman in the family will choose to work as well, so to have extra money if need be. This however, is not the best idea for the family as it can make a situation worse…

intensely academics-focused tiger parents, or maybe, like Jeannette Walls describes in her bestselling memoir The Glass Castle, they border on destruction with their free-spirited nonchalance about what it means to be a parent. The very essence of parenting can typically be summed up in archetypes consisting of people, with their own natural priorities, making decisions they think will best benefit their children in the long run. Through careful surveillance, monetary funds for their futures,…

With each person having a different upbringing their definition or thoughts of love would be different.

Every person has parents, but not everybody gets to grow up with them. Whether by death or just the lack of responsibility, many people must teach themselves as they have nobody to guide them. Parental guidance is exactly what children need though, otherwise they can’t tell right from wrong. In the story “Superassasin” by Lysley Tenorio, the main character makes decisions without any real thoughts behind them which comes from having no moral compasses in his life other than his comics.

Parents think their lives are hard, compared to the lives of their children. Their children simply do not have to do any work. What parents do not understand is the hardship that children go through, due to being powerless.

Parents should not be so strict on kids or set high standards for…
