Are parents controlling too much?

Many people will have different views on this contridicting topic. Some may think that parents are controlling them too much while others say that their parents don't care what they do. The have complete freedom and control over themselves.

Firstly, some think that parents are controlling them too much. They are not allowed to go out with their friends after school and must reached home directly after school. They feel very trap and controlled. This may be due to the parents care and concern for their children but this may lead to very horrifying situation. I once had a friend that was a top scorer, all A1 but he has a very sad background. His mother gives him no freedom at all. He has to return home exactly at 3pm, does whatever he is told and needs to report to her why he is and what is he going to do.

We once had a class outing and he dearly wanted to go but his mother did not allow indicating that it was a waste of time. He was depressed and sad. His marks kept dropping and he confided in my that there were times where he though or running away, to a place where there i no one or better still leave this world forever. In the end he killed himself, such a waste of a young soul. Overcontrolling can result in chikdrens engaging in unlawful activities like drug trafiking, smoking and doing illegal stuff just for the risk and thrill to spice up their non-chalant lifes. These arent good and the love that the parents gives turns out to be not helping them but hurting them.

They will always feel los tand lonely and slowly they may become selfish people and feel that there is no use continuing to live and attemp sucidal. These are the aftermath of overcontrolling of one kids

But others may say that if they dont control their kids they may go astray and haywire. Newspaper reports have shown that underage sex is increasing and this may be due to the fact that parents are not controlling their child tight enough. Many students can be seen hanging around in school chatting and playing sports and others can also be seen in LAn(local area network), archade and shopping centres, This shows that childrens nowadays have a say in what they can do and that parents dont control their child too harshly.

I have a friend that dont study and goes to lan shop every day to play, although his results are falling and all failed his parents did nothing to stop him as thay think that it is his life and they shouldnt sppoil his fun. In the end he got kicked out of school but still can be seen in lan playing.

In conclusion i can say that parents are here to guide us along our way, to tell us wat is right and what is wrong. They should take care and control us but we should also be allowed to have a say in matters concerning us. With this the earth will be a better place to live in
