Are Teenagers Demanding More Freedom?

    The today’s mantra of most of the new age kid is definitely “papa don’t preach”. These young generation in their teens want more space and freedom, they want to lead their life in their own terms. One can easily say that the American dream of individual right of pursuit of happiness has swept the kids across the globe. These youngsters do not want to be told what to do; helpless parents are often forced to surrender to their demands.

    The idea of having fun has actually now evolved over the recent years. They say that most of them like to go out with their pals for slumber parties but also complain that their parents keep a tab on them by constantly calling them. The peer pressure has increased and the teens are now forced to live up to a lot of expectations. This happens not only from the families but also from their friends.

    Counselors opine that it is not the teenagers who are undergoing pressure in this tricky period of adolescent age. The parents are also equally subjected to stress, still pondering whether to let go of their teenage children. It is equally perplexing for them too. The parents complain that their kids demand their “space” and “freedom”. They want to hang out late night parties and weekend soirees are what they actually look up for. All these have become a regular issue.

    Body piercing, tattoos, pubs, smoking, drinking have become apart of teenage life. They think it’s fashionable to do all these stuff. The films and the television have to be blamed for this. It brings in the whole new world in side our drawing room and the children imbibe what they see in them.

    It’s high time that the parents and the children should come and sit down together and talk. If the parents restrict their children from every freedom then they will become vulnerable. It is always better to follow the middle path.

    Dating, affair, smoking, drinking and sex are no longer considered a taboo. Parental disapproval and other social contempt often drive friendship and romance between two people. The best is to keep the communication channels open and taking the family into confidence. Together if you will sit, then can work out the deal that suits both the parties.

      Teenagers don’t necessarily want more freedom, parents are just becoming more of- for lack of a better term- hover-ers. Parents watch their kid’s every step, and let them know of everything they could do wrong before they have the time to realize it themselves. They feel they must take full responsibility for everything their child does, and fail to recognize that their kid is also a human being, learning best from making mistakes. Without giving their child enough room to choose for themselves, children will grow up to be a co-dependent adult that is not comfortable making their own decisions. Who wants their child to be like that?
