I'm just curious to know whether is it right for teenagers to take their own decision? Teenagers of the 21st century prefer to be independent without any interference. Every decision we take in life determines our tomorrow ( to every action there is an equal and oppossite reaction). So the question here is, Should teenagers be allowed to take their own decision?

You comment will be appreciated.

Well if the teen is not a mischievous type, yes they can.

It depends on the decision.

Wizee: Well if the teen is not a mischievous type, yes they can.

What do you mean by mischievous?

soul_glo: It depends on the decision.

Decision like....

No one should take decisions they not ready for or trained for. It my sincerest hope that I can train my children so that by the time they are eighteen they can make the hard decisions of life like marriage and so on. I believe that wisdom can be displayed by teenagers if they are sufficiently trained in the fine art of discretion/discernment, how to think and choose out of competing options the best path for your goals. It is always a joy to see young people display wisdom so yes teenagers should be encouraged/trained to make their own decisions.

Absolutely!
If not, HMMMMMMM!!!! THEY WILL FIGHT OR KILL YOUR AZZZZE!!!
My duty is to ADVICE, guide and help pick up the pieces.
I usually let them know about consequences ONLY!
I have my own life to live!
