In many countries, young people are granted certain privileges and responsibilities at the age of sixteen. Clearly parents have the responsibility to both care for and prepare their children as they approach this important milestone. To what degree should parents intervene in the lives of their fourteen and fifteen-year-old children?

In most countries, teenagers aged sixteen and more are awarded some superiority by governments which makes them become more responsible about their actions and watch out for their behaviour properly. It is obvious that as a duty for

parents

of under the

age

of sixteen

children

, they are destined to guide their

children

on how they would turn to a more responsible person.

This

essay will discuss how far it is allowed for

parents

to interfere with their

children

's lives. To start with,

it is clear that

a teenager’s personality is not completely built up by the

age

of eighteen, so it could be said that

parents

have a gigantic duty to educate and raise their

children

in the best way they can. As if

children

are growing daily, they are

also

struggling with some ups and downs and difficulties which is totally normal for their

age

but may

also

cause some wrong actions with destructive consequences in future,

this

is the time that the presence of

parents

is so highlighted, they can both show respect to their

children

’s privacy and independency

while

they put their eyes on them and show them the right ways when it is needed.

For instance

, if

parents

find out that their child is stressed out about driving, they can calm him down by teaching him he is capable of doing it.

Moreover

, it can’t go unnoticed that

parents

are responsible for their

children

’s attitude in society. It is more required for

children

who are close to reaching the

age

of sixteen to see how their

parents

fulfil their obligations and duties as adults, it makes them discover their upcoming responsibilities and try to get

along with

them, so it’s kind of smart and undirect intervention of

parents

that impact on teenagers without they even realize it. As an example, if

children

see that their

parents

follow the rules of driving, they learn to do the same subconsciously. It is true that

children

should learn how to live by various experiences that they make themselves not just by watching other’s actions and choosing whether it is good to do or not, but it is

also

necessary for them to be taught by their

parents

how to distinguish good from evil and behave as befits a human being in both society and personal life.

To conclude

,

parents

need to intervene in their teenagers’ lives in some points that they don’t ruin their child’s privacy and independence but

also

affect their personality by watching them and having their back in hard times. Not to be forgotten that a correct action from

parents

can make

children

repeat it in future.
