In recent years, it is known that most children feel overburdened by parental pressure to become successful in the future. By some people it can be considered as a positive development that encourages discipline and ambition. However , I believe that it is the main reason – why most teenagers become overwhelmed and depressed when they are trying to build their future.
One of the main reasons why parents place high demands on their children is the lack of discipline and common procrastination that many young people struggle with. There are enough factors , such as social media or friends to distract youngsters from their education and self development.
Although families care about the future success of their children, they must avoid stressing them out by setting unrealistic expectations , which can negatively affect teenagers’ mental health . As a result many young people fail to improve their skills in their favourite activities or to develop talents they have.
On the other hand , parents should not give the full freedom to their children, and leave them without any control, but they can take a responsibility of guiding and showing them the right way of dealing with their problems and achieving their goals.
In conclusion, when parents put too much pressure on younger generation, this method often leads to the opposite effects than their expectations. Therefore, children should be only controlled in a proper manner.
