teenagers should obey their parents because respect is a very significant characteristic in every teenager’s life. If teenagers disobey their parents, they show no respect. This will affect them in the future because if a teenager has no respect for their parents, how will they have respect for their teachers, bosses, etc. How could they learn respect? They could learn it by listening and learning from their parents. The B & B (: Side: Yes, they should.

If parents tell us not to curse, they would usually set an example for us. They know at teenage stage, we tend to be more rebellious. Perhaps, our parents slipped out of tongue. Parents have bad habits too, and they are trying their best to set a good example for us. Side: Yes, they should.

According to research, teenagers that obey their parents in their teenage years turn out to be responsible adults. Is this true? If so, should teens start obeying their parents? Parents mean us well, for instance, when they tell us to do our homework. It's for our own good that they told us this. Homework is meant to help us in expanding our knowledge. Side: Yes, they should.

In today’s society, teenager’s often have no choice but to follow their parents’ expectations, why? They do it, because it’s what’s right. Teenagers should obey their parents. Obeying them is important because they can teach responsibility, parents can teach teenagers respect, and if they didn’t obey parents, they could get over their heads and start creating conflicts with more superior authorities Teenagers cannot, and should not disobey their parents The B & B (: Side: Yes, they should.

When teenagers don’t obey their parents, they get the impression that they have more control. When they think they have control over adults, they become disobedient and begin to challenge the authority which could get them into a lot of conflict. If they listen and obey their parents’ wishes they would respect the more important, superior authority. Follow us: @bukisa on Twitter | bukisa on Facebook Side: Yes, they should.

No , we don't think that teenagers should always obey their parents . Reasons being are , firstly , what they want us to do , they may not like to do it , or they may think that what they want them to do is unreasonable . For example , asking them to take certain subjects they do not like or want to take . The parents will always say things like their intentions are good for them and their future , however the teenagers may not agree so . -LayMin & KeYin- Side: No, they should not.

Although parents are parents for life, if they have taken advantage of this great responsibility and privilege, they can come to point that they will be able to sit back and proudly watch their children grow. We often want to look to our parents for advice or a pat on the back as we get older and when our parents have been able to let go of actually parenting, the benefits of the parent/child relationship are two-fold. Side: No, they should not.

the teens will know better which is their strength and which is their weaknes.Ffor example, if the parents does not understand their children well, they might ask the children to choose the skills that they are weak in, rather than choosing the skills that they are better in Side: Yes, they should.
However,their opinions might not be suitable for us.For example, parents wants their child to go into banking career rather than medical as it has high salary.When their child might be better in pharmacy. In addition,their interest is to be a pharmacist to formulate and dispense drugs or medications, will also have high salary.So why not their child just go into medical career and pursue their dream instead of banking when both career brings high income? Side: Yes, they should.

No, they should not. As parents will not be role models for us and may give us the wrong example or teach us the wrong thing. For example, parents may teach you no to smoke but then they may be a smoker themselves or they can teach you not to drink alcohol but they may be a drinker themselves. -Amin, Thara, Edora, Della- Side: No, they should not.

For an instance , a friend of mine was too stressed out due to her parent's high expectation which she did not met . She even did not had time to talk to me because most of the time she was studying . Side: No, they should not.

Teenagers should not always obey their parents because they may ask us to do wrong things like asking their children to traffic drugs or buying 4D for them so we must not alway obey them.Teenagers also needs freedom and parents often order teenagers around taking their freedom away from them for example like when teenagers wants to go out whether is to study or to shop, their parents would forbid them from going out. Sometimes parents might not understand the teenagers and would misunderstand them for something bad as nowadays teenagers often get into trouble outside like sniffing glue or doing some other illegal things . - Chunthou and Brenda Side: No, they should not.

There are parents who give their children everything the child wants, force them into activities the parents want and make excuses and amends for every mistake the child makes. Is this really parenting? When does the child ever become prepared for a life of independence? The answer is never, in which case the parents are forced to be “parents” their entire life due to parenting choices they adopted early on. Side: No, they should not.

Being a parent is by far one of the greatest and most rewarding positions in life. How we raise our children today affects how they will live tomorrow. When, if ever, does a parent stop being a parent? Maybe never but there comes a time when a parent needs to begin to let go of raising their child and simply watch them become their own person. Side: No, they should not.

Although parents may give the better and logical solutions/ decisions .However, the solutions/decisions made by their parents may not be the best to the teens when it is applied to them. For example, the parents may ask their children to take 9 subjects instead of 8,as in the future when their children is out in the society to work, having 9 subjects, they will have more occupations to choose from .However, the teens may think that they can cope better and score better with 8 subjects. Side: No, they should not.

friends who have had difficulties screwing on their heads, it is mostly a case of disattachment. Or something or other. They are so obssessed with their friends, music, clothing, parties...whatever, that they don't see parents as an authority but as a stumbling block. -Amin, Thara, Edora, Della- Source: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/ Side: No, they should not.

Teenage children are at the stage of life when they individuate. They are becoming their own persons who are experiencing life on their own term. Teenagers are no longer children who will unquestioningly obey their parents. Teenagers have minds of their own and are questioning their parents. Teenagers are starting to develop their own interests and need their parents' guidance less and less. This is very normal. I would seriously question a teenager who slavishly and sleepishly obey their parents. This means that something is seriously wrong with that teenager and he/she will not develop into an independent adult and a leader. This type of teenager I would classify as retarded with no mind of their own. I admire teenagers who are rebellious because this shows that they have moxie and are capable of independent thought. A teenager who slavishly and sleepishly obey his/her parents will not develop into an independent adult or a leader. He/she will be a submissive without self-confidence who will just be an amoeba aimlessly going through life. I believe that obedience is a bad word. Who wants to be obedient. Obedient means subverting one will to another. I do not advocate this at all. I believe that teenagers should be independent and do their thing as long as they do not harm others. Independent teenagers will be the movers and shakers of tomorrow while obedient teenagers will be just submissive sheep. Side: No, they should not.
