Its because of my parents

May 2, 2012 7:43pm CST
I just read a newspaper today about a 19 years old boy who was arrested because of something illegal , and his confession caught my attention as commonly says "Its because of my parents are not together and etc... Yes right, our parents play a great role as we grew up but then please don't over use it as an excuse of your irresponsible actions. We are rational being created by God, then live by it. Wrong cant be corrected by another wrong.We are not looking for perfection,it does not exist but a repeatedly wrong acts done is stupidity. Not all of us fortunately born in a healthy family but it does not mean it is an enough reason to sabotage your own life and future.

Thank you for your reply... You need to know, I have a young child in My Life. Thus, the existence of such events. We must learn to be concerned with the situation of our children. We must have time to take our time to our children. Sorry, If My English is Bad.

I think that you are old enough to take responsibility for your own actions when you are 19. I believe in this quote: "Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you" We don't always have to chance to pick the things that happens, but we do have the chance to choose our thoughts about the situation. We can choose to blame other people for our problems or we can choose to take responsibity for the things that happen in our lives. It sounds like the 19-year-old boy is too immature to take responsibility for his own actions. It is possible that he had a bad childhood and it is possible that the fact that his parents weren't togther affected him a lot, but I still think that he is responsible for his actions.

Yes, I agree- parents' separation should not be used as an excuse to do something llegal, many people whose parents are separated turn out to be good people.. It's just up to the person how he or she handles the situation.

You are right there. Are parents have a very big role in raising us up, but, we can't depend it entirely on them. I believe it was Anne Frank who said, "We are responsible for our own upbringing." You are right we are all rational beings, created with a mind to think. Sadly, it is a human nature to blame everybody else exept our selves.

True. Everyone will be held accountable for his own actions, his own choices whether right or wrong. We cannot put the blame on others for the mistakes we commit, even our parents.

Yea. you're right. I think lack of discipline leads to that kind of situation. The boy made as an excuse but it wasn't a good excuse. He's already 19 he already know what is right or wrong w/ or without parents. It wasn't his parents fault, it was his fault because he choose, to do something illegal, the wrong thing. Always remember that your fate always depends on you.

Hello there sherlysinguran... well, yeah, you're right... Maybe that 19 year old guy can't handle the stress and the depression but still, those bad things that happened to him should be a lesson to motivate him that somehow in the future, he should not repeat those mistakes that his parents made and make his own healthy family. Every problem that we have, every pain.. should be viewed as something positive, coz actually they make us stronger.. These experiences are our stepping stone into a meaningful life. Have a nice day!
