do childern over 15 be allowed to make decision

Some kids at fifteen are mature, but I don;t believe that they should be given that kind of freedom just yet. They still have so much to learn about being an adult, given such freedom at 15 is just not good.

i don't think so..at this age they need proper direction so that they can make a foundation for their career..advice help them shape their future..

hmmm nope!!!!!!

i feel that 15 is still a tad young. they may be weaned off slowly and be allowed to make some decisions with proper guidance.

it all depends on what kind of decisions are being involved. If its the matter of studies, they should be allowed to speak about where thier interest lies. For other matters, there has to be parental guidance.

I allow my 11yr old son to make his own choices. How else are they going to learn to make choices unless we give them the freedom to do so.

I do believe there are a few extremely mature 15 year olds male & female, but very few. Most 15 year olds can't comprehend the reality of how life works; the importance of working, earning money, saving money, paying rent & utilities, etc. I feel their judgment is limited to their life experiences and capabilities to rationalize reality isn't very broad.

not so much interference more guidence they are still young and need a hand but need to learn too

though 15 is not the right age.....I think they should be made to take part in the decision making.....

yes. the younger generation should start taking decisions from the age of 15.

i do not think so at all

I disagree, children at age 15 are still immature and need the guidance of some kind of parental figure. At around age 15 children are still very open to peer pressure. The tough choices when you are an adult are to much for someone as young as 15 to make.
