I am always responsible for my actions-TrueWhen I was a child, my parents were responsible for taking care of me and for raising me to be a good person. As I got older, they began to start letting me become more independent and allowed me to start making choices of my own. With this new independence, it also required me to stop blaming my parents or others for my problems, mistakes, or faults. I believe that as we grow up, we begin to take on new responsibilities in our lives. In a couple weeks I'm going to be 18 and that's when I become legally responsible for my actions. It will be my choice to decide what actions I will take in the future. If I go out and buy drugs and get caught (I won't do that), I am 100% responsible. There comes a time in everybody's life when you have to decide things on your own (college, career, marriage, etc.) and accept yourself and your decisions.
Thanks for reading

I agree. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, just like that story we read in class a few days ago of that swimmer who didn't save that drowning child because he "didn't have to". That is BS, in my opinion. If you were the only one at the scene, and if you are a good swimmer, which ironically he was, then you have the automatic responsibility to save that child, especially if they could die at any minute! I definitely agree with your point of view, and I hope to be agreeing with more of your posts in the future.
ReplyDeleteI definitly agree that when we are young we need to be taken care of. However, does this mean that we are not responsible for our actions even then? When we disrespect our parents and are punished, are we not being held responsible for our actions? I believe that we are always responsible for our actions regardless of age. It is not the responsibility that changes over time, but rather, the accountability and the amount of responsibility we are willing to accept.
ReplyDelete"If i go out and buy drugs (I wont do that). that was funny. But I also agree with what you said, our parents take care of us and raised us to mature adults with the ability to decide for ourselves, although sometimes I wish they didn't.
