whats the advantage of being dependent and independent person? When it comes to family category, whats the better? Do you think indepence will help to build a new human being? Will a new person with dignity, and can stand on his own, without the supervision of his parents? I will never give my own idea About this. It is for you to answer whats better.

It is a good thing that a person learns to be independent at a young age. In any situation, an independent person has always some edge over dependent ones. They have a more probability of surviving becomes they got their own mind and can be more resourceful. See, even in a sentence, an independent can stand alone, whereas dependent ones can not. Anyways, you are 24 and if you already live independently and have a job, you can live your life to the fullest without your mom nagging at your back. You can spend as much as you want, it is your money anyway. You can do almost all things you want or like without asking permission from your parents first. Unlike if you still live under your parent's roof, you are under their rules. The best part of living independently is hmm if you got a girl, you can let her come to your place anytime. you do not need to sneak out or sneak her in to your room secretly to make some lovey dovey. wOoppss!...

Being independent is how I feel. I love being my own person and teach my children that. Although family is very important you have to be able to count on yourself before you can help anybody else out. It builds character and belief in oneself.

I would rather be independent, able to do things for myself, than to have to rely on someone else to do it for me. I am in control of myself and I will always be there for myself, but I can't say that for everyone else. It's better to know what you're doing on your own than to have to rely on people for everything.

There aree good things and bad things when you live on your own firsty the good things are that you dont have to deal with your parents oblessly you can do what you want when you want and dont have to take any orders only from your land lord. But the bad things about living on your own is you have to pay for your rent and if you dont make a lot of money like me you wont be able to use it for other stuff you pretty much can just use it for food bills and your apartment or house. But im looking forward to getting an apartment when I get a better job and make more money wouldnt want to move out now since I dont make that much.
