REVISED VERSION

                                                  
                                        ARTICLE REFLECTION 2


       In the article called “Show Me the Way to Go Home” writer tells us about a misjudgment which is that teenagers are willingly leaving their home. She shows statistics to make her claim more dependable. She also gives specific examples which clearly show why children prefer not to leave their parents and stay at their home. That’s why the article didn’t bore me and attracted my attention.

   I agree with the writer in some respects. For example, the reasons that teenagers come back to their home or never leave it, seems fair enough. These reasons mostly consist of economic problems or divorcements. Teenagers eventually find the peace, which they are looking for, in their home. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean that teenagers who left their home come back soon or later. There are lots of examples which show that some teenagers can manage to live alone, without the support of their family. It is just a matter of the characteristics of individuals. I also think that if a teenager decides to leave home, her family definitely should support her. She is the one who is supposed to experience the hardships or advantages to live alone. If she likes the idea of standing on her own legs then nobody can judge her or force her to come back the home. On the contrary, if she couldn’t make it and want to be with her parents, everyone should respect her decision. In other words, each teenager should have at least one chance to see if s/he can make through living alone and solving problems without parents’ supports. That is the best way to show a teenager that s/he is also an individual and has a right to say whatever s/he thinks or do whatever s/he wants.

    All in all, I liked the way the writer mention her ideas and enjoyed reading the article. In my opinion, teenagers shouldn’t be forced to do something that they don’t want to do. In this way, they can decide whether they are able to live alone or not.

  1. Dear Hale,

    Your reflection topic is one of those which attract the attention of people like us who are likely to leave parents' house to build up our own lives. I liked reading your article; however, it was a little bit short, and also I came accross some grammatical mistakes some of which are : instead of "stay their home" you should say " stay at their home, instead of " the reason that teenagers..." you should say "the reason for teenagers' coming back ..." and lastly instead of "manage to leave alone" you should say " manage to live alone". You might also need to change the form of subject form from only "she" to "he/she" which takes place in the early beginnings of your article. Please do not be offended by my corrections, I am sure you will be able to find all of your mistakes if you take a quick look at your reflection. Have a good holiday !
