133 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A person’s childhood years (the time from birth to twelve years of age) are the most important years of a person’s life. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
A lot people feel that their childhood years are the most important time to their entire life since they learned something they could cherish for their whole life. However, I highly disagree with the statement given that we did not obtain a lot of valuable things.
First of all, an individual simply did not obtain very important knowledge in his childhood. Although some people may argue that a person learned honesty, integrity and how to kindly interact with other people when he was a child, I believe that all that cannot be regarded as a tool to make a living, which is certainly the most important to a person. Only can a person get necessary knowledge and expertise at high school or college to face the challenges of their career and support himself or his family. As result, the childhood year is not that important.
Second of all, a person did not make the best friends in his childhood years. When most adults look back, they surprisingly find that they almost forget the majority of their classmates in their primary school and there are no such friends with them. The people they often stay together with are either college classmates or work colleagues. As friends are the most valuable aspect of the life of a person, the period in which a person makes the most close friends should be regarded as the most important time. Therefore, the childhood years are not the significant given that people did not make close and lifelong friends at all.
Third of all, childhood years do not provide an individual a lot of impressive experiences at all. As a child is under the care of parents, he rarely could have the bitterness and complexity of a society. It is a common notion that people become familiar with the overall environment and society when they are in adulthood. When people are in high school or college, they sense the importance of competition and experience the joy of success and sorrow of failure. All that is critical to the progress of a person. However, children rarely get in touch with those aspects and therefore childhood is not important.
In summary, based on the three reasons that I presented above, I believe that childhood years do not provide a lot of impressive experiences to an individual. As a result, they are not as important as the adulthood of a person..
