What freedoms do we take for granted in the United States? Do you think we have too much freedom? What freedoms cause problems?



The freedom we take for granted I think is that in the United States they let us drive at a young age. I think that parents don’t have much freedom but they can do things that us teenagers can. The bad thing about being a parent is that they have to work just so they would be able to pay the bills and buy food for the family and if they have a baby, they have to buy them diapers and milk and stuff like that and do all things like that so I wouldn’t say that parents so much freedom, but they also have different freedom that us teenagers don’t have. But us teenagers have a lot of freedom, we might have school and a job but we don’t go to school all day we have freedom when we get out and on the weekends we can pretty much do whatever we want and if we work we lose some of that freedom. But when we get paid, its not like we have to pay the bills or anything like that. So I guess I would say us teenagers have a lot of freedom but we don’t have the type of freedom parents have. The type of freedom I think that causes problems is for parents letting teenagers drive at a very young age. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t let us drive, but I think we should drive during the day to go to school or work or even to the store but I think we shouldn’t drive during the weekends to go to party’s and stuff like that because their has been a lot of drunk drive accident’s by adults and us teenagers pay the price for being out so late driving. I just think we have a little to much, I think that sometimes its good to not have that much freedom because it can stop bad things from happening.
