how good it is when you have finished your college, right? you earn a degree and easily get a job? but the fact is, most of the people haven't finish their college...and why? because of financial support and some didn't finish because of getting bad peers. at the end, they are regretting because of the mistakes. some will be blamed because of lack of parenting. so i guess, parents should monitor their children especially when getting to college because that is the time that most teenager will be astray.

I am in college now and i must say my parents are the best supporters. Parents arent responsible for your choices though, you are. Each individual should have that part in their mind to block off any negative energy behind them. I had a friend who also asked me why do i go to college and i told her because thats my choice and when i have children i was to raise them the same way i was raised by my parents. Although the financial part is hard i still manage by doing a payment plan and working part time.

When we enter the college,we have already become an adult.With so many years experiences,we should learn to tell right from wrong.We should be responsible for our own future rather than let others tell us what to do step by step.That is the real meaning of college life.If we want to make it worth of the time,why not inspire ourselves and be your own master?
I can not deny that parent,school and the society have the duty to prevent the youngsters from going the wrong way.But the most important thing is to help them find their own way to go.So try to assit them in finding their own value.That will work much better than just forbid them doing wrong.

Hi mariath .I really agree with you that parents should superviese their children as long as they are children.If not once they get along with bad peers and they will be astray.but if parents can prevent the bad action and guide them in time ,they are still good children and can study hard .Mayebe they all can earn a degree and get a good job and have a bright future.

Hello mariath! I agree with you that parents should be there for their children not just when their child was in college already but all throughout his or her child's life. True enough, college life of one individual was tested by different bad things, influences of peers, financial problems etc, parents can give their support, help and advice in dealing with all sorts of problems which their child may encounter but you will be the one who is responsible for choosing which path to take, so better be aware that education was vital to one's success. Never get swayed with negative vices and instead, study hard for not everyone was given the chance to do so. Good luck to you and have a nice day!

After I finish college, My long journey has just begun. I planning to go to Med school. It is still a very long way ahead of me. I hope my sacrifices will be worth it.

I would say one of the best things that happened in my life is when I graduated in college. It meant so much to me and I have sacrificed alot inorder to make it to my graduation day. And what made it so special for me was because I made it to my graduation with flying colors. I was so happy at that time. I was so overwhelmed of the joy I felt.
What was also more special on that day was because I saw the joy and pride in my parents' eyes. I could see and feel the happiness they both felt.
I hope that the youth out there would always make it a goal to finish college one day despite any odds that trials that may come along their way. I also pray that the parents would guide and support their kids to the best they can and help them make it to their graduation day.

I think this is what my parents are scared of now that I am going to college. They think that I will slack off. Seriously, do they really trust me? Every time the word "college" goes around our discussions, they will start lecturing. I know they only want me to study but it can really be irritating hearing something over and over again. We do not have any financial problems and they know that I know how to choose my friends. The thing that they are worried about is that there are a lot of distractions that can get in the way of my studying. That's the problem. But, I promised them that I will do my best. I always do... Okay! Not always but most of the time, I do.
