Band 7.5

Many parents encourage young people to leave home when they become older, while others think they should stay at home with the family. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is thought by some that urging children to abandon their family
home
 at an early
age
 is beneficial.Others believe that it is better if they stay longer with their families. In my opinion staying longer has many advantages. There are several reasons why people might argue that leaving at an early
age
 is helpful for youngsters.
Firstly
, they learn some new skills which are the dispensable part of living alone.
For example
 cooking, which is inevitable in each
home
.
Secondly
, they have to pay their living expenses as they are responsible for it by their own. In doing so, they must apply their knowledge that they have learned to find an appropriate job.
Finally
, if they leave their family
home
 at an early
age
, it will reduce the financial burden of their parents who might be on the verge of retirement. In spite of the above arguments, I support the view that staying with parents more longer is beneficial. The main benefit is that they will be protected by their parents. They are in danger as they are not wise enough to be able to distinguish between people who really like them or people who want to deceive them. Another reason for
this
 opinion is that parent are powerful resources of experiences and transferring these precious experiences needs time. If children stay longer there will be more time to grab these opportunities and learn them. The
last
 but not the least is parent’s needs that ignoring them is not fair. Children can be helped hands in some affairs and supporting their parents is more probable when they are near their families. Having considered both sides of the issue, I would argue that the advantages of staying longer with parents outweigh the benefits of leaving at an early
age
.
This
 is because the supportive, secure and nurturing environment of
home
 can result in children who are more successful.
