PARENTS SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED FOR THEIR CHILDREN’S FAILURE

Of the many different relationships we form over the course of the life span, the

relationship between parent and child is among the best and most important. Parents

are the first teachers to their children. No one teaches their child to go on wrong route

such as gambling, robbing, fighting and more on, it comes naturally.

Parents are the one who only can show the way of good and children should be

the responsible for their every actions. As long as parents just have done their part in

giving their children the right moral values. It's a simple fact that parents cannot keep

watch over their children 100% of the time, just like the police cannot watch the actions

of every citizen at all times. There are host factors that contributes for this topic.

The first factor is lack of maturity and discipline at students. Some students

are just not disciplined and lack good organizational skills. They behave like a child

even in secondary school. As part of their development into young adults, children must

develop an identity independent from their parents or family. They also should train their

self to take own decision in any situation. A child's parents can teach the child all the

rights and wrongs of the world. But ultimately, teenagers are bound to want to become

their own person as their mind develops. Clearly, parents cannot be blamed for

something that is simply a natural part of maturity and development. In fact, the more

that a parent control their child at this stage, the more likely they will act out in irrational

ways.

Other than this, peers pressure make a children in turn has a negative effect on

their studies and make them fail in their examination. When a child goes out with

friends, the parent can only trust the child not to engage in any unacceptable behavior.

They often fall under the pressure of their peers. Rather than using good discretion,

they feel compelled to follow others (socially), when they really should be attending to

their studies. Children gives more important to their friend’s advise rather than to their

parents.

Moreover, no vision among students makes them to the failure. Some students

do not have a clear picture of their future. They just go on with what they have. They are

not willing to search on for new things. Sometimes, some students accept admission

into schools which they are not familiar with. Thus, they become depressed with their

surroundings. Student must be content with their school, its environment, and

resources. Thus, they cannot cope up with new environment and may take programs of

study without a clear career goal or objective. In essence, they choose the wrong major

Lastly, in our government scenario, they only makes law. Parents are just like our

government. They only can give the order to us and set us in the right direction, and

hope that we follows the path. If we goes in the wrong path means its should be our

fault; no more parents involved. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it

drink.". Therefore, children should responsible for all their contributions.
