Do you think giving complete freedom of opinion and action to teenagers is right?

Opinion yes.... if the can be polite about it even better


Action not completely... but freedom to express them selves in a non harmful and constructive way yesDo you think giving complete freedom of opinion and action to teenagers is right?
You've got freedom of opinion. What you think is private and you don't have to admit it.





Freedom of action is quite another thing. When someone else is responsible for bringing you up they have a considerable degree of control. As you get older you should be trusted more and more to make your own decisions. Sooner or later you will have to take full responsibility for yourself. And I'd expect this of an eighteen year old so such a teenager should have more or less complete freedom of both.





But, of course, many parents want to continue to exercise a degree of control while they are supporting such a person in full-time education. And a wise teenager of 19 won't complain too much about it.Do you think giving complete freedom of opinion and action to teenagers is right?
freedom of opinion is always a great lesson for all no matter what age. for freedom of action i feel that you should be able to expression your opinions including love. i don't think that parents should be able to tell you that you are not allowed to see someone because your parents saw you do something with them that they don't agree with, like sex. i think the is being naive to your child's growth of maturity, as long as they are being safe, love should be highly looked at, especially when it is a steady relationship.
Freedom of opinion is okay, but not action. You have to remember that parents are financially responsible for anything their children do. Why should I have to pay for my children's choice of actions? So no, not action. They can wait until they are responsible financially for their actions and then do as they please.
I agree with everyone who says freedom of opinion is OK, but not freedom of action. If you want that, you need to be out living on your own, paying your own bills, etc. And even then your actions will be limited to some degree (by societal conventions, peer pressures, conscience, religious convictions, etc.).
Freedom of opinion; of course.


I always taught my daughter to form her own opinions, and not to be afraid to express them.





Freedom of action; No-one has complete freedom of action. We all have limitations.
Freedom of opinion, absolutely yes, but if the teenager is still under my roof, then no to action..
As teenagers they are still immature.....perhaps not physically but they need experience of the world. As for action.....would you still trust your toddler to handle a sharp knife?
Opinion = yes


action = no
freedom of thought, but ever action has lt's consequence
