Some teenagers in Hong Kong do not like their parents or teachers. Why? They think that adults have been too harsh to them. However, I disagree.
Parents often do much for their children. They always remind them to study or complete their homework before surfing on the Net. Some teenagers think that it is too harsh to them, but is it so? The most important purpose of being a teenager is to study. Sometimes, teenagers may enjoy too much. Their parents give them enough pocket money for many entertainments. Teenagers then forget what they must do is studying well and fighting for a bright future. Parents reminding them to study should not be described as ‘harsh’.
Besides, some parents do not allow their children to go out at night. The teenagers may think that they have lost their freedom and their parents have been too harsh to them. However, have they tried to think from their parents’ viewpoint? Their parents do this out of love and care. Every responsible parent cares about their children. They do not allow teenagers to go out at night because of safety reasons. A teenager may not be alert enough, so they may face danger more easily. Therefore, it is not harsh of parents to take such an action.
Teenagers also think teachers have been too harsh to them. Many students always do not complete their homework and are punished by their teachers. Students may think their teachers are harsh, but they often forget what they have done. Teachers give penalties to students because the students have done something wrong. Teachers never punish students without any reasons. Students should know that what they have done is wrong and correct themselves. Teachers impose punishment because they want their students to become better and better. How will it be too harsh?
In conclusion, teenagers’ parents and teachers have not been too harsh to them. The actions are representations of their love and care. Teenagers should put themselves into the shoes of their parents’ and teachers’, and think for them.
