Experience shapes our life?

I have read many books in English class and most of the themes in the book are how experiences shape our life. For example, "Clockwork Orange" is a great book and it really tells us about experiences. Young people have many responsabilities and make many stupid mistakes, experiences help them learn and be able to solve problems. For example, many young people think that there is always a way out to gain money without having to work but after experiencing some losts in there money or some people that have stolen their money through internet they learn and notice that life is not that easy. Or even a more serious problem having a baby, experience teaches them not to do things. Having a car accident teaches them not to drive fast in the street. Many things help them learn lessons but the most important thing is experiences. That is why in my opinion parents should help their children but should also let them suffer the consequences. Do you think experiences are a key fact in life?

Some people say that is wise to learn something from another person. I learn much more from what my parents do than their advise. Experience especially negative experience gives deep impact for my life. I prefer learn about life from somebody else better than experience

Hi miriam, Experience does shape our lives. I believe that parents should teach their children to the best of their ability. When Children are grown, parents can advice if they are asked, other than that they must learn from experience. Blessings.
