　　表明立場：這樣的做法有一定的道理。支持這樣的做法的理由：older teenage children還不夠成熟(immature)，考慮不夠周全(inconsiderate)，尤其涉及到經(jīng)濟(jì)相關(guān)的決定時(shí)，缺乏獨(dú)立承擔(dān)能力(incapable of being independent)。然而，“如何保證parents或者adult relatives所作的決定就是正確的”也是個(gè)問題。另外，總是把孩子排除在決定權(quán)之外，是否會使孩子變得“沒能力做出任何決定”?the ability to make sound decision是人生道路上很重要的能力之一。

　　The issue of whether parents or other adult relatives should make important decisions for their teenage children arouses much controversy among people with different perspectives and backgrounds. Some people believe the statement is legitimate, because children are not mature and have not enough experiences to determine the optimal choice. On the other hand, people claim that nobody can control other's life even their parents. People should be responsible for their own behaviors and determine their lives. As far as I am concerned, I would like to refute the former and support the latter. In the following discussing, I would like to address some evidence to substantiate my point of view.

　　In the first place, the most important reason for me to choose this position is that old teenagers have their own thoughts and ideas. The fact that the thoughts of children are not perfect and logical does not mean their parents have right to eliminate their decision without considering the children's intentions. In the era of rapid social and technological changes leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, the good decision in parents' time would be out of data.

　　In the second place, the job of parents is not to make decision for their children, but to help them to choose. In this period of 15 to 18 year-old children, they are always radical. If their parents make decisions instead of themselves, they will not obey these decisions. Parents had better told their kids about their opinions, worries and experiences as friends. Give much more room for their kids to think and decide. Respect and believe their kids will choose the better one and will face the result directly.

　　In sum, considering the aforementioned reasons I support the statement that older teenagers had better make decisions by themselves. Admittedly, our parents are our best and most early teacher. They would give us more important advices to help us choose the best decision.
