Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow
Parents and educators frequently criticise today's youth for their irresponsibility. On the other hand, restrictions are met with resistance from teenagers. Despite parents' concerns that teenagers will abuse their freedom, we are dissatisfied that we are required to adhere to so many regulations. We sincerely hope that teachers and parents will begin to trust our judgment more. As teenagers, we shouldn't be shielded from the harsh realities of the world. In our day and mature, such countless individuals are left to fight for themselves. We are fortunate to live in a safe environment, but we ought to also be free to comprehend the adult world and its requirements of us.
It's important for adults to understand that having fun isn't always a bad thing. The outcome will undoubtedly benefit us in the long run by exposing us to the wider world, but it will not result in a night out with friends watching a movie or a day spent reading rather than studying. It would be beneficial for young people to learn about their limits and how much something is beneficial to us.
We also begin to develop our own perspective on the world around us during adolescence. We open up to friends and younger people more. Adults ought to encourage us to keep these close friendships rather than worrying about how far apart we are from them. If parents want their teenagers to better understand what freedom entails, they might want to think about letting them work part-time, which is common practice in many countries. This would be preferable to limiting them to a monthly allowance. Working teaches us responsibility for our spending and saving, which is an important life skill. We would be more helpful if we were given the responsibility of managing our own finances, especially when it comes to things like getting the most recent comics or eating pizza with friends. It would be preferable to correct us for occasional extravagant behavior because we may make mistakes. However, we all make errors. Everyone makes errors. We ought to be given the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and accept responsibility for them rather than being held accountable for them. 
However, it is essential to emphasise that there should be checks and balances in Freedom. Additionally, unrestricted freedom can result in serious consequences. Who hasn't heard of promising young people running away from their studies? In the same way, we should remember that granting someone freedom does not mean removing the safety net that will catch them if they fall. Numerous teenage criminals have slipped through social networks without being observed. In general, it might be preferable to restrict teenagers' freedom so that they can become more responsible adults in adulthood.
