In many countries, people decide to leave their parent’s homes once they finish school. They start living on their own or sharing a home with friends. Is this a negative or positive development?
From ages, children live with their parents for their whole life. But in recent times, when they complete their secondary schooling, they decide to live in a separate house without their parents. They prefer to live alone or with their friends. I believe it is a positive development because living without parents makes them self-dependent and increase their learning capabilities.
Living alone makes young people independent. At home, parents look after children’s needs and do their work: mothers prepare food, wash their clothes, and fathers earn money for them. Even for small tasks, the youth rely on their guardians. When they live alone, they do all work by themselves. They realize the responsibility of self-care, complete all household chores, and start doing work to earn money to sustain their lives. While living with their parents, they are hardly aware of such duties. Living separately, therefore, from their parents help youngsters to become self-reliant.
Sharing home with friends can enhance peoples’ knowledge. Young people learn skills, moral and ethical values, and other life principles from their parents by living with them. They adopt their parents’ habits, characteristics, and language. Staying with parents for a lifetime, somewhere confines the mind of the young. It limits their learning efficiency. Sharing a room, in contrast, and home with people from different places, allow them to learn new views, language and skill. A person, for instance, who is an Indian when lives with a British can refine his English, and know about British culture. This learning can help him to improve his personality. It is hard to learn such things if people do not leave their homes. Thus, it is beneficial to live far from parents for youth.
In conclusion, youngsters leave their ancestral home once they pass their secondary education. They do all their woks and become independent. Living with others helps them to learn several new things. Therefore, leaving parents’ house is beneficial for the youngsters.
