Some young adults want independence from their parents as soon as possible.
Other young adults prefer to live with their families for a longer time. Which of
these situations do you think is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support
your opinion.
Young adults can choose to live with theirparents for a longer time, or they can move away from their
families assoon as they grow up, namely, live independently. For me, not denying the importanceof independence as relying too much on parents is never a good thing forgrownups, I still think young adults like me should live with our family for alonger time.
When one grows up and enter his/hertwenties, one can no longer be treated as a kid and should be called an adult instead.One thing distincting adults from teenagers is that the adults haveindependence, namely, they feed themselves and do not rely too much on parentsas children do. Therefore, some people may consider s from home and trying tolive separately is a sign of independence. However, my argument is thatadmitting independence a key factor for adults, young grownups do not need tomove away from their parents to gain independence, and probably, they archivethe goal better when living together with their parents.
Even living with family, one can still livean independent life by owning his or her job, or by doing some housework forthe family instead of letting your mother prepare everything for you. Forinstance, I still live with my parents though I am already 21. My parents'friends always appreciate me for my independence because I have my own careerand I never ask my parents for money. In addition, I am responsible forpreparing and cooking the meal every day for my family.
Another reason why I prefer to live with myparents is that I am the only child in my family. My parents spent 20 years supportingmy living and education, now that I can feed myself and no longer need to relyon them; I really want to stay with them for a longer period of time to requitethem for raising me up by keeping them accompany. Or they will sufferloneliness a lot. Due to the Single Child policy in China, my case is among themost common in today's China. So I believe that young grownups living with familieslonger will be a huge comfort to parents as well.
Furthermore, I don't think that livingoutside can always be a good way to become independent. For example, my cousinmoved away from parents as soon as he graduated from the high school because. Thereason for his doing so is that he wanted to live a truly adult life. It seemedthat he lived an independent life now because he no longer stays with hisparents. But in fact, he lived together with his girlfriend who prepares mealfor him and does all the housework liking cleaning, laundry and dishwashing. Thusmy cousin now instead of relying on his parents turns to rely on hisgirlfriend. I don't think he is any more like an adult than before.
In a word, I prefer young people to livewith their parents as long as they can to keep their lonely parents accompany.And one can still gain independence while living with family if he has a strongwill.
