Some young adults want independence from their parents as soon as possible. Other young adults prefer to live with their families for a longer time. Which of these situations do you think is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
When shall we leave our parents so as to become a real adult person is a question everyone should confront in our lives. Different people will make different choices. Some choose to leave their parents at teen ages, other prefer to stay longer. In my view, there is no simple answer that suits everyone well. Because different people will face different situation and there are several elements to consider before I give the preference.
First of all, one should ask himself/herself whether he or she has the rational and mature reason to leave their parents. I certainly do not agree that young people insist to live separately from their parents only because they think it is a fashion or it is cool to do so. However, if one has clear goal to achieve and this ask for a leave from his hometown, I will support him/her to do so at a young age. Therefore, ask yourself why you want to leave your parents.
Secondly, whether your family can support you to live alone is another element you should consider. Studying overseas will cost a lot of money and if one insist to go abroad without any scholarship, it will cause bring heavy burden to his/her parents and I think it is unfair to this parents. However situation will change when the parents owns several houses even in other cities the kids want to stay and they have some relatives and friends there to offer a hand once needed. This will make the independence of the children easier and more realistic.
Finally, whether there is some one to look after and support the parents should become the last but not least consideration. In china, most of the family has only one kid. If the child is living far away from his/her parents, possibly no one is there to take care the parents. Therefore to think for the health and welfare of the parents, one should measure the possibility to hire someone to do the household if she or he can not stay there with their old parents.
To conclude, when to become independent is certainly a question. To make better decision, one should consider whether there is a reason, whether there is support, and whether his responsibility to his parents has been well taken. |
