The document discusses the benefits of allowing children over 15 to make their own decisions. It argues that children will become independent at a young age and learn to control their own destiny by choosing their own friends and university. Allowing independence will also help children discover themselves better by learning about their strengths and weaknesses. They will learn to love themselves and have the confidence to try new things without barriers set by parents. When children can decide their own future, they are more likely to achieve their goals and ambitions rather than having a future chosen for them by parents that may not match their interests or capabilities.

1. The effects of allowing children over 15 to make their own decisions
Children will learn
to be independant
at a young age
Nowadays, children
in this generation
tend to get really
dependant on their
parents due to the
fact that they get
pampered so much.
1. Children should be
nutured to be someone
who is independant, not
someone who relies on
people. Children should
learn to step out of their
comfort zone and
develop themselves to a
broader sense of the
world.
2. Children will get to
control their own destiny
and become the sole
controller of what
happens with their life.
(eg. Get to pick which
university to apply for,
get to choose the friends
they want to befriends
with.)
Children will learn
to discover
themselves better
One of the most
important aspect in
life is being able to
know who you are as
a person, especially
your own advantages
as well as limitations.
1. In the process of discovering
themselves, they will also learn
to love themselves. Usually,
when someone learn to love
themselves, they tend to be a
good friend, good family
member and even a good
significant other to someone
else. Hence, it will slowly makes
them come off confident on their
two feet.
2. Children should be given the
freedom to try anything the
world can offer as long as it's
beneficial. Parents should not
set a barricade for that, but
should encourage them
because who knows, their
children might be the next
Whitney Houston if they tried
singing, or the next Usain Bolt if
given the chance to join the
athlete team.
Children will
achieve their
desired goals and
ambitions
Certain parents
decides their
children's future
without even
considering their
capabilities, as well
as their interests.
1. Children should be
given the chance to decide
on their future because it
can help them learn and
get to know what
profession to focus on, and
also to achieve greater
knowledge of the world.
2. The profession that
parents would want for
their children might affect
them if it happens to be
really hard to cope with. If
parents push their children
far enough to make them
stressed, bad things may
happen. (eg. Smoke to
"destress", pop pills to
forget about the world, or
commit suicide because
they think that that's the
only option to overcome
their stress.
