PARENTS SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED FOR THEIR CHILDRENS FAILURE

Of the many different relationships we form over the course of the life span, the relationship between parent and child is among the best and most important. Parents are the first teachers to their children. No one teaches their child to go on wrong route such as gambling, robbing, fighting and more on, it comes naturally. Parents are the one who only can show the way of good and children should be the responsible for their every actions. As long as parents just have done their part in giving their children the right moral values. It's a simple fact that parents cannot keep watch over their children 100% of the time, just like the police cannot watch the actions of every citizen at all times. There are host factors that contributes for this topic. The first factor is lack of maturity and discipline at students. Some students are just not disciplined and lack good organizational skills. They behave like a child even in secondary school. As part of their development into young adults, children must develop an identity independent from their parents or family. They also should train their self to take own decision in any situation. A child's parents can teach the child all the rights and wrongs of the world. But ultimately, teenagers are bound to want to become their own person as their mind develops. Clearly, parents cannot be blamed for something that is simply a natural part of maturity and development. In fact, the more that a parent control their child at this stage, the more likely they will act out in irrational ways.

Other than this, peers pressure make a children in turn has a negative effect on their studies and make them fail in their examination. When a child goes out with friends, the parent can only trust the child not to engage in any unacceptable behavior. They often fall under the pressure of their peers. Rather than using good discretion, they feel compelled to follow others (socially), when they really should be attending to their studies. Children gives more important to their friends advise rather than to their parents. Moreover, no vision among students makes them to the failure. Some students do not have a clear picture of their future. They just go on with what they have. They are not willing to search on for new things. Sometimes, some students accept admission into schools which they are not familiar with. Thus, they become depressed with their surroundings. Student must be content with their school, its environment, and resources. Thus, they cannot cope up with new environment and may take programs of study without a clear career goal or objective. In essence, they choose the wrong major

Lastly, in our government scenario, they only makes law. Parents are just like our government. They only can give the order to us and set us in the right direction, and hope that we follows the path. If we goes in the wrong path means its should be our fault; no more parents involved. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.". Therefore, children should responsible for all their contributions.
