There
are few definitions of young people we’ve often heard in our life. Mostly,
people say young people as the teenagers under the age of 18 years old.But
generally, we can define them as the people who are in transitional period of
their life. It is the time when they will face a lots of doctrines and influences
from their surroundings. They are supposed to be guided by the one who responsible
of them, in this case, their parents. But today, the way parents treat their
children has so much changing from how it used to be. The parents nowadays are
busy with their career and it makes their children feel abandoned. The parents
tend to make their children to be able to responsible in making their desicions
themselves, but in fact it makes the freedom of the young people bigger and more
unresponsible if it’s not controlled well. This problem leads to some negative cases
related to teenagers like free sex, drunk, consuming cigarettes, etc. which can
give bad impacts for their future and their surroundings.
According
to the background above, it is true that the young people strongly need their
parents’ treatment consistently. In my opinion, there are some points as the
support of my arguments. First, the nature of young people. Young people are
dependent and not mature enough to bring a decision by themselves. Why can i
say so? Compared to their parents or the adults, they are lack of experiences. The
saying, “experiences are the best teacher in your life” is exactly true due
this case. It means that the more experiences you have, the more yourself
capable in making decisions wisely. Some decisions you’ve made in your life
give some impacts to your future. If it isn’t done well, it will influence your
future. I don’t say that the parents have to always involve themselves in
deciding their childrens’ choice—because it can make the children spoiled and
really dependent with their parents—but parents’ role here is to be a proper
guide for the young people.
Second,
the nature of parents. They are indipendent, mature, and somehow a decision
maker. If there’s big problem related to the family, the parents is the
commander in making a decision, including their children’s decision. Why?
Because they are morally responsible to
the young people. Like what i’ve said before, parents are the guide to
the young people in their life. They have to give some good basic principles to
their children in facing some problems and to seek a solution for it. The basic
principles they gave will be used by the children to decide whether something
is right or wrong in their life. It means that the parents have the urgency to
take care of their children.
Third,
the relation of how the children need the parents. From the two points above,
we can analyze on how children have opposite characteristics with their
parents. Children are dependant to their parents and parents must take care of
them. Children to be treated consistently is their right, while parents to take
care of their children is their obligation. Why do the children have such right
in? Because children are making their parents as model of their life. They see
their parents as someone who accept them whatever happens. The children have
been living with their family until they are teenagers like what i’ve decided.
The parents must know everything about their children and their comfort zone. Children
need comfort zone and they find it in their parents, therefore, the parents
have to control their children’s development. When the children’s comfort zone
is not fulfilled, these children will feel trashed and abandoned which are the
worst feeling for them. They will think they are unwanted and of course it will
give impact for their future. Two choices of impact when they feel such
feeling. First, they will become an overprotective and possesive human which in
a long term way, they will give harm to other people. Second, they will be an
uncaring brandals where they will directly brng harm to the people.
Because
of those three points, i can say that he young people still need their parents’
treatment consistently to make their future better and success.
