Many parents believe that it is their duty to control the lives of their teens. Others may give teens more freedoms, which gives them more decisions to make, such as who they want to date. The play Romeo and Juliet is a fabulous example of this. Many real-life examples also prove that parents should mentor their teen and keep a close eye on what the teen is up to. Brain research also shows that teens need some guidance. Some people may believe that parents shouldn’t be able to prevent their teen from dating certain people, but I believe that under many circumstances parents should prevent teens from dating certain people.
Brain research shows that teen decisions should be monitored. According to a documentary done by Frontline, “Teens and adults interpret emotions differently.” Teens could see someone they would want to date differently than their parents. The parents may think the person is a bad influence but the teen may think the person is a good influence. Parents have been through experiences like this and know that their teen shouldn’t date the person. According to an article by National Geographic written by David Dobbs, “When adults guide teens lightly, teens succeed in life.” If a parent were to tell their teen that the person that they want to date isn’t the brightest, not all teens would take that advice because it is coming from a parent. But, if teens were to take the advice, they would most likely be more successful in life. Teens need to take the advice that their parents give them more seriously.
Also, the play Romeo and Juliet has some good examples of why parents should prohibit teens from dating certain people. One character that portrays this is Juliet, when Juliet and Romeo talk about getting married over the balcony. “Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed. If that thy bent of love be honorable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow by one that I’ll procure to come to thee where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, and all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the world” (Act II, Scene 2, lines 142-148). At this point in the play, Juliet is telling Romeo that she will send someone to talk to him about the plans of their wedding. This
`In conclusion, If you know William Shakespeare you know the play “ The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet”, a tragic story that proves that love makes teens do crazy things. I have found evidence that teens make lots of risky discussions. Also this concludes some of the beliefs that people have on why teens take so many
Many teenagers make bad decisions, and act in a way most adult would say is unintelligent. Romeo and Juliet was a story about two feuding families with the same wealth living in Verona. After a big fight Prince Escalus tells them that if there is another fight they will be killed. Later that night Romeo meets Juliet at her father’s party and they both fall in love, after the party Romeo talks with Juliet about getting married and she agrees to have the wedding the very next day. After the wedding the two families get into another fight. Due to the fight Mercutio and Tybalt gets killed. Romeo who was also fighting was sentenced to banishment even
Know on the main topic teen dating. I believe that parents should make rules on dating because we are still young, some of us might not know what to do. Parents should be allowed to make rules on dating but not the rules that are so strict that you can't go out with this person that has stolen your child’s heart. The rules that should be made should guide your child throughout Middle and High School. The dating rules should not restrict them because that is probably going to make your child a liar because we're still kids and we want what we want. So if you're restrict us by making rules that don't allow us to go out on dates that going to make us not care about the rules you made.
Relationships are quite eccentric and interesting because relationships are full of ups, downs, twists and turns like roller coasters. Every little thing in a teen's life can affect as well as change the outcome of a relationship, making it either good or bad. The relationships teens have with other teens as well as other people of different age groups will always be with them and so it is important to have good relationships with everyone. It is important to be in a healthy relationship, meaning that the 2 people in the relationship are honest, trustworthy and respect one another. In April 2014, more than 4,900 teens were surveyed by Stageoflife.com, and it is said that 94% of teens believe in true love. This means that a lot of teens spend
Relationships between teenagers and their parents are rarely boring. Since teenagers begin to think and act independently, conflict arises between them more frequently. This is not just a modern occurrence; in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet and her parents have very different points of view. In the play, she marries a man who is a member of a rival family without discussing it with her parents, which eventually leads to her demise because of the conflict that arises. She does not have much interaction with her parents throughout the play, but the miniscule amount shows the differing of opinions immensely. Juliet’s limited interactions with her parents in the play show that she has a rebellious relationship
Didn’t Elvis say it best when ever he said, “Wise men say only fools rush into love”. This idea is expressed throughout the world because so many mistakes are made whenever people rush into love. It seems as though love has a powerful hold on people and they just can’t help what they do once they are in love. It is as if they are almost blind to everything else around them, and also blind to the consequences that might come from their choices that they make. Teenagers seem to be more at risk for such frivolous love due to the fact they have lived such ephemeral lives. Since teen brains are not fully developed it can lead to fickle or poor decision making, and sometimes leads to making choices that result in teen pregnancy. Poor decision
Parents should be able to limit their child’s dating life due to recent brain studies. According to the PBS documentary “Inside the Teenage Brain”, teenagers’ brains are still developing from puberty and are more likely to try riskier or more dangerous events, such as going out with more dangerous people. Parents need to keep an eye out on their children as they may have chosen the wrong person to go out with and could possibly end up getting hurt. The article also says that teenagers are afraid to ask their parents for help, entitling the adolescents to do whatever they think is correct. Teenagers don’t always know what is right and wrong, so they need their parents to guide them in times of need. In the article “Beautiful Brains” by David Dobbs, he states that when parents gently, but steadily, lead them through teenage years, adolescents do better as adults. If parents lead their children through the tough parts of their life, such as looking for a date, the teens will remember their parents’ advice for later in life. Therefore, adolescents should not be able to date a certain person without their parents’ consent.
Even though Romeo and Juliet may seem ancient or incomprehensible to young readers, it can definitely be related to modern day situations and teach a big lesson while teenagers are still young and can be taught from past mistakes. Many teenagers like, “Zakia and Ali”(Rafia Zakaria The Lovers: Afghanistan's Romeo and Juliet) have experienced situations that can relate to the play, Romeo and Juliet. Zakia and Ali fell in love with each other as teenagers and ran away from their home to escape the horrible rules, customs, and consequences enforced if disobeyed, just like how Juliet ran away from her strict father who was going to make her marry Paris so she could be with Romeo. Even though Lord Capulet was treating Juliet unfairly, he should've taught Juliet in the beginning that “[t]oo soon marred are those so early made”(Shakespeare I:ii14), which means that you shouldn’t rush love and therefore Ali and Zakia are also at fault for not listening to their parents as well. Even though their parenting was very strict and harsh, it still gets across the point that despite what they are told, teengaers still make irratic choices due to the ongoing development of the brain. Of course it would be the right thing for Zakia’s and Ali’s parents to support the relationship of their kids, but at the same time need to enforce rules
In real world perspective, young adults go through the same situations. Young men will get attached to young females because it is something fairly new to them. Young adults are learning date etiquette from their parents then they can choose what they do with it. Our parents are very knowledgeable and have been in certain situations that they do not want to see their children in. But, young adults still choose to not respect their parents and will do what they want to do sometimes leading to consequences. This is a growing dilemma with young adults in this generation.
In the article “Teen Dating Guidelines,” by Jessica Childs, she writes about two people saying whether parents should set rules for teenage dating or should there not be teenage rules for dating. I believe there should be rules for teenage dating because later on their child can be in danger. For instance, if there are no boundaries at all, their child can come home at any time and that can be the biggest mistake a parent can do. She/ he can wind up in a very dangerous situation and it’s all because the parent didn’t put on boundaries for their child. Also, why wouldn’t you want to put boundaries for your child, wouldn’t you want then to be safe?
Do parents trust their teens the chart below shows that most teens are trusted but is that really the case.I’m here to see if they really trust them or the parents are putting on a show.My prediction is that teens can be trusted and parents over react and are just being paranoid but maybe i'm wrong maybe hormones really do get the best of us.My first pice of evidence is the chart below I got this sorce from a website called
When I wanted to learn how to drive a car my parents said I am too young to learn how to drive they said when I turn 16 they would start to teach me the basics first and then get behind the wheel. My parents also said I can not get a job yet until I am 16 too, because I am too young and that I need to be responsible. My point is that my parents and maybe your parents do not trust teens and have no faith that teens are ready for commitment and responsibility. Ultimately, The age of adulthood in our country should be determined by the ability of a person to prove that they are mature by paying bills, holding a job or attending college instead of by arbitrary laws and set numbers.
From Shakespearean time to present day, the dating and marrying of certain people has been put in the hands of teenagers. In the 14 to 1500’s parents always had a say in who their son or daughter was to marry. Things today aren’t like that, but in some cases parents don’t allow their children to date certain people. Some parents restrict who their teens date, and others want to allow their children freedom and to have their own independence in preparation for becoming an adult. Different parenting styles have a major impact on their teen’s future. Parent’s today should have the right to prohibit who their children date.
Although puritan values and ethics are frowned upon, there are many more benefits that comes with those ideas, including obedience amongst teenagers, and a world with better people. Many parents believe that a child will mature if they are free to make their own choices and learn from the consequences. If teenager is left by themselves without the guidance of an adult or parental surveillance, this can lead to teen pregnancy. Whilst having children can be a very magnificent event, having a kid while you are in your teen years can lead to miscare of the child, and force a teen our of their dreams and potential future. Even so, a child will not get to experience and live those moments that would impact their life, and mold them into young adults.
Do you know the difficulties many teens parents face while having a child? Many people believe that teen parents don 't have many problems and babies are easy to take care of, but that is not the case at all. 3 in 10 teenage girls will face many of these challenges because that is the percentage of teenage girls who get pregnant (Slocum). My essay will talk about all of the issues teen parents face from having a child. The problems that I will be talking about that they face include health issues, getting an education, the issues their children face, the relationship between the parents, and having money problems.
