The desire for 

privacy is something natural that everyone goes through at one point or


another. As children grow up, they will inevitably have to deal with different issues as their
brains and bodies develop. They begin to face different challenges that often cause them to
question who they are and what they want. During such seasons, teens begin to desire more
privacy and space as they work through these issues.

P1:

Topic sentence: Infringing on a teen's privacy might be interpreted as a sign of mistrust.

Sp1: Trust is a crucial foundation of all relationships.

Sp2: Not only does it put a strain on relationships, we could end up isolating ourselves even
more from our parents, in a show of defiance.

P2:

Sp1: When children gradually become adult, they belive to be independent and mature
enough to make their own decisions about whatever happen in their life.

Sp2: Therefore, If parents show their desire to interfere in their children’s lives, they will
become more seperate from them.

Counter argument: Children could get into bad companies and be exposed to such addictive
subtances as drugs, alcohol, and much more.

Refutation: Respecting your teen's privacy does not mean that you should ignore suspicious
behavior.

Sp1: If you discover something that indicates wrong behavior or risky activities, you have the
right to interfere.

Sp2: You have a responsibility to protect your kids even when they think they don’t need it.

Sp3: Teens need privacy but that does not mean that they can do anything they want.

In conclusion, I would restate my viewpoint that


It is true that teenagers’ personal bond is always a topic of much debate. As children get older, they
begin to individuate, thus desire for more freedom and independence. This raises the question
whether parents should interfere in their children’s relationships or giving them some space and
privacy to handle them. While the former viewpoint might involve several benefits, I am of the
opinion that parents should avoid invading their children’s personal matters for the following
reasons.

First and foremost, intruding on youngsters’ privacy might be taken as a sign of mistrust. This is
because when children gradually grow up, they want to be thought of mature, responsible and
independent enough to manage their personal lives; hence, excessive interference in teens’ personal
terms would not only result in more and more family conflicts, but teens could also end up isolating
themselves even more from their parents.

Additionally, during the process of growing older, children need more privacy and personal space.
This gives children opportunities to exploring novel things or making new friends, thus building their
self-confidence. This is because when parents respect their children, the children learn to
respect themselves. If you’ll trust and respect them, it will help your kids to grow as happy, healthy
and independent teens. Consequently, respecting your teens’ private life would act as a precursor
for building a healthy bonding with your kids.

Opponents of teen’s privacy argue that giving children personal space would cause them to get into
bad companies and be exposed to such addictive subtances as drugs, alcohol, and much more.
However, respecting children’s personal terms does not mean ignoring suspicious behavior. If
parents discover something that indicates wrong behavior or risky activities, they have the right to
infringe because they are responsible for their kids’ safety and security. Moreover, teens need
privacy but that does not mean that they can do anything they want.

In conclusion, respecting children’s personal relationship is of paramount importance as above


mentioned. Therefore, parents need to create a trusting environment where teens can get enough
space and privacy to manage their secret bond as well as support when facing risky circumstances.
