aggie! Am not offering any kind of 'freedom' my stand simply put says that 'age should not be THE reason of stopping people live the kind of lives that they want. I believe you live an 'adult' life predetermined by other people; this is slavery as it is not your decision but the resolution reached by people who did not involve you in making the decision. Adults unconsciously program the kids to conduct themselves in a manner preordained, they are always doomed from the word go; kids need this and that; they do not need this or that.
Adult 1: What did Paul do?
Adult 2: He did this or that.
Adult 1: Oh don’t mind that; he is an adolescent isn’t he?
Adult 3: Mama I love john so much and I think we are going to get married;
Adult 4: Mary please stop it you don’t know what love is, I’ll buy you a puppy instead.
How do you expect them to react to these especially when they listen to such discussions? They know that they now have permission to misbehave,
why? It is how their parents expect them to.
