For parents, it is scary when their kids reach adolescence. Teenagers want to make their own
decisions
, and
this
 is hard to accept for some families. In
this
 essay, I am going to explain the advantages and disadvantages of letting them take more control of their own lives.
Firstly
, in my opinion, kids should be allowed to make their own
choices
, since they are only small.
This
 way, children are taught that there are different options

 and that sometimes one of them has to be chosen. When the kids reach 15

 old, they need to feel in control and independent.
Besides
 they need to be responsible for the
choices
 they made and for the consequences of those. Obviously, parents' supervision is paramount, always providing support and counselling.
Secondly
, the more
decisions
 they are allowed to make on their own, the better
choices
 will make in the future when they grow up.
On the other hand
, there are some disadvantages that may have a negative impact on the youth individuals.
For example

 may not have enough experience in life to perceive dangerous situations.
Also
, not all teenagers are mature or competent enough to make certain important
decisions
. In conclusion,
although
 a 15-year-old should be able to make their own
decisions
, parents should always have oversight and provide support, to be able to help them when the incorrect
choices
 are made.
