Teenagers and young people should share housework equally with their parents. Do you agree? Nowadays teenagers have a lot of free time. Most of that time they usually spend watching television, playing computer games, surfing the internet and etc. Classes at high school are for most of them boring and hard at the same time, so they tend to relax and have fun. Furthermore, they are slowly taking a step into the life of grown-ups. They start making more and more decisions by themselves, they’re becoming more responsible than they were before. In my opinion, the best start for accepting some responsibility is sharing housework with their parents. That kind of duty is simply necessary for them, because in college they’re going to live on their own and they need to get used to some kind of duty. I think that doing the chores is a very good start, because in future they’ll need to take care about their homes without anyone’s help for some time. And it’s a good start for accepting some responsibility, which, if weren’t done, will affect other family members (for example – a son’s duty is to buy groceries, so if he didn’t do that, other family members wouldn’t have dinner). However, I think that teenagers and young people shouldn’t share the equal amount of housework as their parents. That would be too much for them and they would consider it more as a burden than a duty (a duty which they’re going to do at their own houses one day). In my opinion, each younger family member should get two or three duties: they every-day one (like washing the dishes) and the other two which are not required to be done every day (like organizing garage items for a yard sale).
