When facing the problem that who should make the important decision, either parents or children themselves, people have to come to the question of who can make the right and beneficial decision. Personally, I agree with the statement that an important decision should be made by the parents. I think parents are the only right people to make a big decision for their children.
First, children are not mature enough in thought to make an important decision. Some teenagers may lack enough social experience to make a correct decision; some teenagers may be too young to distinguish goodness from evil; and some teenagers may be easily confused by the facial appearance. On the other hand, however, their parents have already gained enough experience to deal with different problems in different situations. Then, they can easily tell the nature of a problem and come to a right decision. Consequently, it seems to be much safer to let the parents make important decisions for their children.
Second, parents can help to make the decision that is beneficial to their children in a long run. Because of the limitation of their age and experience, children can probably just see the present but not the future. As a result, the decision they make may turn out to be lacking of consideration, probably, 10 years later. Parents, however, usually make the decision that will do good to their children in a long run. Sometimes, for instance, the children will complain about sitting in front of the piano for hours and keeping playing the boring exercise tune over and over again. What they want to do is only playing outside with friends. But when they grow up, ironically, they will find that playing piano is a useful skill and interesting hobby which can bring fun and happiness to people.
Given all the factors I have outlined, we can see that parents are the right people to make right decisions for teenagers because they are experienced and can make the important decisions that benefit the teenagers for their life. Therefore, when needing to make a big decision, a wise teenager should come to his parents and ask for help.
