Q: 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?
Independence! who doesn't want independence? But the bigger question is how much of an independence is being discussed here? Generally, when teenagers grow up, their needs and habit of living change. Some would like their parents in control of the major decisions of their lives, while on the other hand, some would not like their parents to be involved in any sort of decision making process of their lives. In my opinion, the young adults should always consult their parents as their guides. I will try to demonstrate my point in the following paragraphs.
Let's assume a teenager grows up into a young adult. Now a major decision that he might have had to make was to what college they were going to attend. If we assume that the person seek compete independence from the early age, then they are generally going to make the decision themselves. But even if they made this decision by themselves, what is the probability that this is the best decision? We all would agree that the best lesson learned is form a mistake, but why even let that happen? This is the most important decision they would have to make so far, and if they don't ask around, if they don't look at the wider picture, how are they supposed to end up at their very best opportunity? This is what is known as a making/breaking point because this decision of theirs can make or break a very powerful potential future.
Now, suppose they passed the first make/break point. Then comes another one when they are going to marry. Normally, in the western culture, the man and the woman choose their marriage partners themselves, so this is not much of an important issue here. But, what about the cultures that predominantly have arranged marriages? In that case, choosing a husband or a wife could be a huge decision, because generally the marriages are not as easily broken as in the western culture. So, when it comes to this point, one would definately want to know their parents thinking and their previous experiences This could come in very handy when one has a choice to make.
To sum it up, it is very good idea to ask for parents guides, and is never a bad a idea to live up a part of independence for a better future.
