After graduation, a sense of euphoria fills up every young person’s mind. Why not? After all, all these years of meticulous effort has been leading up to this point, the moment of freedom: freedom from study, freedom from peer pressure, and more importantly, freedom from family. But little do these people realize, that family members, especially parents are in greater need than any time before. In my view, young people need parents for guidance, support, and also for family unity.
Many times we have heard the tales of young people going off the path. The dark sides of the world calls out to them, and without thinking they give themselves in. Drugs, overspending, mixing with bad people destroy their future. The parents’ role is vital here. They should rely on their own experience and thus try to keep their child from going astray. In other words, without the strict observation and persuasive guiding, it’s very easy for one to jeopardize one’sown life.
Parental care can be a blessing when a person is feeling dejected. After graduation, many have their eyes full of dreams. Usually, those dreams are easily shattered when they face the harsh reality of the world. They might get rejected from job interviews, might not be able to get into a good graduate school etc. Again, the parent’s soothing and caring words can be a source of encouragement for most. Later on, one appreciates that, it was the parents whose caring made him believe in himself and achieve something.
Finally, the family unity is of tremendous importance in every person’s life, especially for those who are just going to step out in the real world. Parents devote their entire lives for their children. Their education would not be possible if the parents didn’t contribute financially. One should always try to give something back to her parents. They might become ill, or bankrupt, and these times call for family unity and also strengthens a person mentally.
It is the parents who have given us the chance to experience this wonderful world. Without their support, one would become crippled, and struggle to find his place in this world. In desperate times, parental guidance and care helps us immensely. Also, family unity gives a person hope and strength to continue his journey in his life. One should not forget about these and should stay with their parents during the fragile period of entering adulthood.

      I think young adults should live independent life seperately from their parents. Living with parents for long time could make them less responsible and less independent which is not good for their future. Living independently; they can learn to be responsible. They could live in this real world and understand the hardships of life. Additionally, they can take risks and explore the outside world; after all this is the age people could do anything they want and learn useful lessons from their experiences. 

    They learn to be responsible for themselves. Living seperately from parents; young people should take care of everything; looking for job, food, shelter. Every experience is a new teacher for them and verytime they fail to get something, they learn from it. They could understand better about their parents hard work and strugle and they could make them feel proud.

    They could experience the hardships of life. Life is not full of joys, it is everyday stugle for existence. Teenagers do not understand the hardships that their parents feced to grow them and give every comfort they want. They always think that life is very easy to live. However, if they allowed to live seperately and earn their own life, they could know the worth of their parents sacrifice and they respect them more than before.

      Early adulthood is the perfect age for taking risks and do experiments in life. All teenagers eagerly wait for their freedom and want to enjoy it without any boundaries. I think they are not small kids who need to hold their parents' fingers; they could take their own decisions and take risks in life. Taking risk and experimenting is a kind of fun and stage of learning. Every young adult needs this experience and freedom to explore the world and to look in to themselves deeply. This is the time when they have to take important decisions and have different experiences.

  It is good to live indeendent life seperately from parents at an early adulthood. Teenagers could learn to be responsible from their experiences. The value their parents hard work and strugle. And they could have freedom to explore the world and have some new experiences.

How long should children stay with their parents? It totally depends on individuals' readiness to earn their own life. Some might ready very early and some might take more time to prepere themselves to live seperately. However, I think it is better to live longer with parents. This is because of several reasons. The first reason is that teenagers are still not ready to live independently. The second reason is that they need their parents valuable advice in taking important decisions. And finally, this is the age where teenagers could go into wrong hands or influenced by bad people which could spoil their entire future.

        Teenagers need more preparation to earn their own life. In these compititive days, it is not easy to get placed in good jobs. They have to strugle for their food, shelter and other needs. If they life with their parents they need not worry much about their basic needs and they could focus more to plan for their future. Parents always help their kids and they could provide everything untill you get ready for your successful future. They feel more happy and satisfied if their children live longer with them and share love and affection. Every parent expect their children to have successful career and personal life.

        It is very important to take advice from parents in taking decisions. Teenagers always think that their parents are old fashioned, and they don't understand their needs. But as somebody said "old is gold". Parents are the only people who could give you right advice and trustworthy than anybody else in this world. They always think about their kids' bright future and they are responsible for your present exsistence. It is valuable to consider their advice in taking some important decisions like choosing your major in university or selecting your life partner.

Early adulthood is the intermediate and frailest stage in human life. Teenagers, who are not fully developed mentally are prone to get attracted towards bad than good. Bad is always sparkling and attractive; hence, there is a chance to get trapped. Young adults are more ready to have new experiences; some people could misuse and take advantage from this. However, who are mature enough to take risks and judge people, can escape from these people but all are not smart enough and can easily go in a wrong way.

         Some people need more preparetion and advice from their parents. Additionally it is hazardous to their future to take risks at early age and can get influenced by bad people. Because of all above reasons I strongly feel that it is good to stay with parents untill ready to get benefited from freedom and independence.

Growing from childhood to maturity wouldn't be achieved without parental help and assistance along the way. So, I strongly believe that one should stay home with their family for variety of reasons.For some people just leaving home at an early age would be difficult for them and would need family support.The other reason is that nowadays the economy is in recession and living away from home would add more expenses that so many couldn't be able to afford.The most important above all is that one should take good care of their family and one should show respect and kindness for their parents.
 
Adulthood is a stage that is crucial to everyone who is seeking to begin his/her future.Graduating from high school and being faced with the most essential stage in your life and that is college life is stressful and difficult. So, in order to be able to choose your career one should seek advice from his /her parents who are more experienced and would definitely help in that process.I remember when I started to go to college and tried to leave away from my family and tried to live independently but, I ended up choosing friends who were  trouble makers.If it was'nt for my family support and guide I would have ended  up in somewhere unkown. It is essential to involve your family in your decisions because they are wise and they are more experienced and helpful too.I came back home to my family on my second year in the college and I managed to live with them.
 
The other point about staying home with your family is that the problem of the economy that became global and difficult to resolve.I remember that  the huge amount of money that I used to pay for the rent I couldn't afford that amount ,and besides that my working hours in the partime job wouldnot be enough for my expenses.In that period of time I decided to go home and live with my family and they were very understanding about that ordeal and they welcomed me to their life as usual. For that main reason I think I made a good decision about coming back and just saving the money that I used to pay for the rent and the other expenses and my believe that staying with them is a very rational decision.
 
Finally,staying home with my parents would give me a great pleasure of helping them and taking good care of them hence at that stage they need emotional support that I would be glad to provide. Repaying them and showing respect is definitely a good reward for their endless effort and complete self denial and support that they had given me once.Gratitude and appreciation for their time and effort wouldnot be enough for, that reason I would stay home and  be happy to take good care of both of them.
 
On the end to sum up staying home with your parents for all that reasons that I mentioned above is of great importance for me as well as for my parents.

Hi antonbarua,
 
I read your essay and I think your ideas are good; however, I think that it is very important to use at least a couple of examples to support your point of view.
 
Another point, using some connecting words in the beginning of your paragraphs such as "First of all", "On the other hand", "To sum up" will make your essay more coherent. You can also use other connecting words such as "In addition", "Moreover" etc.
 
Hope you don't mind my comments.
 
Nice start antonbarua, keep it up grin

Hi manju,
 
I read both of your essays and I have some comments:
 
The introduction in the second essay is much better than the first one. Although I prefer not to start the essays with a question, I think it is better than starting it with sentences like "I think" or "I agree with". In general, to write a good introduction, try to give a general idea of what you are going to display in your essay briefly and in an attracting way.
 
Try to use some examples to support your essays.... examples are of great importance and are very essantial in building the body of your essay.
 
Your ideas in both of the essays are so nice and complementary to each other. If you decided to merge these ideas in one essay,  then you would write a very nice essay with a comprehensive point of view. It is possible in your essay that you support one side and then talk about the other side of the subject as if it is the point of view of other people. But try to make sure that you give a greater focus to the side which you support. 
 
That's all... nice work manju. I'll be waiting for your next essays.smile

Hi nahla,
 
I think your essay is very good; your ideas, the sentences structure, the given examples.. all are so nice.
 
Small note: please be aware of the use of the personal pronouns. Try not to mix the 1st, 2nd and 3rd persons.
Example:  "I strongly believe that one should stay home with their family...", their should be corrected to his/her.
 
Another Example:  "On the end to sum up staying home with your parents for all that reasons that I mentioned above is of great importance for me as well as for my parents.", your should be corrected to my.
 
That's all nahla.
Very nice essay.... keep going smile

No one can deny the importance of raising up kids under the supervision of their parents. As a mother myself, I actually love to take care of my kids all the time and I couldn’t imagine the idea that my children are away from me. The idea of the independence from parents is really controversial one. While there would certainly be a variety of viewpoints that support the independence from parents, surprisingly I oppose it very strongly. This is mainly based on my feeling that children needs to stay with their parents for many reasons.

First of all, increasing their experience. Being with parents will always helps the children to know more and keep learning from them. This learning process will protect the kids from doing faults and miserable mistakes that would happen if they were alone. For example, I live with my parents all the time before getting married. Therefore, they help me all the time to setup my goals and to plane well to my life. I am thankful to them because all the success in my life is actually because of them being there. Furthermore, I am planning to bring up my children in the same way, that would be only if they live with me.

In addition to the first reason, I think that taking care of parents especially when they are getting old is another reason. The parents who spent their life bringing up their children, sending them to schools to learn, and looking after them when they were sick, deserve care from their children when they are too old. For example, my parents live with me in the same house, and I check daily many things such as if they taking their medicine.

In conclusion, taking advices from parents to do the right things from the first time, and taking care of those people who were there when a person was born till he/she became a mature man/women, are the things that enhance the idea of staying with parents of course in my point of view. Putting aside some advantages of living alone, but I see any convincing reason to live away person’s parents.
