Nowadays, many young people prefer to live alone because they want to be
much more independent and responsible, even if we should admit that it is a little
harder for the majority of families to afford this. However, it is essential for a
teenager to be away from his family for some time, to see how he can manage in his
own. But what are the advantages and disadvantages for young people who live with
their families?
If they living with their families they can take benefit of it. Such as, they don't
have to cook for themselves, a thing which can be a great problem for the majority
of teenagers, especially boys. It is true that there are several young people who
know how to prepare something for them to eat. Then, living with your parents,
means you don't have to do all the housework alone. But there are not everything
well. It is a great disadvantage to know that you cannot listen to music at a high
volume without having your father tell you to pipe down the music. And in case you
disturb some of your neighbors, then it is your own responsibility to answer the door
and apologize. And you must be careful with your neighbors as they like to complain
with your parents when you do something.
However, it is very important to live alone as a teenager, because this step in your
life helps one mature. You learn to make a daily programmer for yourself, to put
things into order, to make yourself time to prepare something to eat, to go shopping
and pay your bills.
