NO, a minor (preferably teens) should be able to control their own lives and parents should not be able to put their opinons in. For instance, if a teen girl wants to date a guy, LET HER, its her love life, let her control it. She will be the best judger of the guy. Every teen should be able to control thier own lives. For all i care teens should be able to leave home at the age of 15, and should be able to get married if they solely choose to. That's my personal opinion.

A teen is far from the best judge of anything. If a parent does not want that teen around someone, that is their call. Especially if you live under their roof as I said.

I agree and disagree... I think that if a parent is fit to be a parent and knows how to LEAD the child not RUN the child then yes, the parents guidance is the best thing for someone who has little experience in the world. However my mother was NOT a good person and she did run my life... I am the one paying for it and it is hell on me! So if the parent is not a good mother or father and has no idea how to guide not control, then no I don't think the parent should be able to run the child's life.

I do think that if the child is in a situation where they are more mature then the parent or parents they should be able to get a job and move out. I don't think they should be able to get married at a younger age though because at that age all you want is someone to love you and there are a lot of creeps out there that would take advantage of a little girl and that would be even worse then the parents. At least with the parents you know who they are and what to expect.

Treat them as property?

Raise your child. Give them what they need to live, then, let them go. They don't belong to you.

it really depends on what age limit you mean when you say "child" but if you mean child as in a teen i disagree because children should have the right to run there lives and parents should be mature enough to know when enough is enough.

Once again, the debate peramiters are very vague. How old is said child? What do you mean by 'run'? A parent has every right to tell their child what they expect and how they expect them to live as long as they plan to live under their roof and eat their food.

NO, just as every human has their own rights (Either in America or were ever it gives out rights like this)

From 15 and above you should be able to control your OWN self, regardless of stupid events etc.

If you're possible younger, you have the right as a parent to take over your child, THEY ARE CHILDREN, Your children. If you want them to not put on make up until 15, you make them.

Put them under control !

Or what ever, you know what I mean?

Absolutely!, to a degree.Its ok to look out for your childs best interests. If you know in your heart and soul that the child can not see for the dangers they may be exposing themself to,then hard love MAY be the only thing standing between life or death for your child. Biasly(im a mum of 4), i couldnt care less how old a parents child is or even if they reside under the roof of the parent,IF the child has themself in a bad situation,knowing the depth of emotions a parent contains for their child,why shouldnt a parent at least attempt to control the situation.Why shouldnt they, If they know they stand a chance of sparing their child from lessons that many have already regretably learnt too late. You can say that everyone has a right to live their own life ,of course, i agree,however some children/teens/young adults are blind to those dangers that they have not yet experienced through experience.There is a problem ,a HUGE problem,with teenagers getting themselves into trouble of all sorts, drug overdoses, stds, gangplay,teen parents,etc........suicide...death!!!I really do understand that most kids do not understand because I AM THE RESULT OF THAT SAME MENTALITY!!!(i thought i knew best)..I could share with you kids some rather unpleasant facts,but unfortunately thats tmi AND IM NOT your parent/guardian,SO its not really MY job,BUT it IS thiers.So Yeah,listen to your folks,They love you!..................For those kids,(and sadly there is many), that ARE, unfortunate enough to be living with abuse,misguidance,neglect,etc...my heart bleeds tears for you....seek help, where you can,but be wise in doing so.And as i tell my son as he steps out the door to go hang with his mates,KEEP SAFE!!

I think its a choice who a girl wants to be with excluding the dad because he can't run a girls life its her decision he can't say she can't go out cuz being in a house is boring ur supposed to live ur life while ur young and enjoy the weather.My girlfirend hannah is letting her dad run her life and she's listening to what's. He saying and I think that's dumb I disagree on the whole topic its her love life and that's her decision if she's happy he sould be happy too. Am I right...

Side: NOPE

Children are living under their parents' roof, so, the parents should be able to run the child's life.
