Public opinions are divergent whether arguments between adolescents and parents are positive or negative. A school of thought holds that such conflicts play a crucial role in growing up, while others argue it should be kept at bay. Although acknowledging the legitimacy of both statements, I align with the latter for several reasons.
Admittedly, family conflicts can be beneficial to some extents. Firstly, that yousters and their parents have a conflict would give both parties chance to understand each other. This is because via an argument, they can identify their faults and attempt to concern them, decreasing the likelihood of anymore conflicks. Additionally, it may foster adolescents’ reasoning and negotiating skills. The fact is that at the age of upgrowing, the young’s looks upon life are different from the elder’s. Hence, yousters tend to strongly hols and support their own views. This can enhance their independence and maturity, which are essential factors of growing up.
However, I am of the opinion that family arguments are negative elements rather than positive ones. First and foremost, should teenagers have numerous conflicts with parents, who bring up them as they were newly borned, there will emerge inappropriate behaviors in them, ranging from disrespect, discipline to observativeness. This is synonymous with their misimprovement of codes of behavior and being rejected by society. Furthermore, this ongoing situation may spoil the family’s tied bonds. Arguments would lead to the lack of trust and sympathy among family members since nobody lends an ear to one another, which not only furthers the gap between children and parents but also acts as obstacles for the whole family’s happiness.
In conclusion, while that conflicts in the family make great contribution to adolescents’ growing up is obvious, I concur with the point of view that its merits pale in comparison with its demerits.
