Question 1
August 14, 2008 @ 2:50 pmParent responsibilities…. the responsibilities of a parent are the most important above all because the choices you make will not only effect you but your children aswell. A parent should be there for there child to listen to them and talk to them on a regular basis to make sure that they are ok inside and to make sure that they are not keeping there emotions bundled up inside. The ideal parent in my mind should possess the following qualities:
*Fun loving
*How to cook good spaghetti
*Good listener
*How to give good advice
The one thing a Parent should never do is:
*Hit there child
*Abuse there child
and never teach there child bad habbits…
Question 1
August 14, 2008 @ 2:57 pmI think that the main responsibility of a parent is keeping their child safe. Even if it means going against their child’s wishes they will do whatever it takes to protect them and keep them out of harm’s way. In terms of economic support they should provide their child with at least three things. These are shelter, food and water. They should also be a strong emotional support in their child’s life and love them unconditionally. The qualities that make up a good parent are loving, understanding, protective, caring, strict at times when needed, dedicated to their child and kind. There are no strict guidelines to what a parent should and shouldn’t do because everyone makes mistakes.As long as they learn from their mistakes and arre able to teach their children the difference between right and wrong.
Q1- A parents responsibility is to take care of their teenagers. The way they should take care of them are to provide them stuff like food, care, love, and space to them selves. I also think parents should provide them these things because that is the most important responsibilies a parent shoud provide them so when they grow up they will take care of their children And have lots of responsibilty. A parents should always tell their teenager when they are young from wrong to writes.
Q2- A good teenager is to have good manners, respect elders, responsibilties, care for their family/ parents, should take care of them selves and do stuff around the house.I set good examples to my parents so they can trust me and i also do good examples for my little cousins so when they grow up they know what i did so they do what i do. If you set bad examples infront of little kids then they will try to copy you and do everything like you EG. If i jumped of a playground they will probably copy me so thats why i set good example to my littl cousins.
August 14, 2008 @ 2:57 pmA good parent should have fun with there children like going out side, playing fun games and you know get active with eachother. A good parent should sit down with there child/children and talk about what they did that day or what they achived, this gets you closer to your child making a trust barrier so they can tell you anything in the world and they will trust you.
A good parent should never hit there child/children.
Hitting your child doesnt make it better because it doesnt do much it just builds up anger in the child and then one day he might burst.

August 14, 2008 @ 7:03 pmQuestion 2
August 14, 2008 @ 7:10 pmThe resonsibilities that i have to my family are:
*Look after my baby brother
*Make the school lunches
*Do the dishes
*Feed the dogs
there are more but that will do for now.
The Qualities that a good teenager should have are: Polite,well behaved, care full, and i cant really think of any more sorry.
A good teenager should never do the following things:
*Swear at there Parents
*Hit there Parents
*Run away from home
*Set Bad examples for there siblings
Many many more…….
Parents responsibilities are to take care of them in bad situations, like when they are feeling down from what people have done to them at school. They need to know where there child is, feeding them and keeping them happy. Parents should provide support, food, cloths, a bed, good schooling and love. Parents should possess happy, calm, fun loving, good listener and sad emotions. A good parent shou never hit or abuse there kids.
August 15, 2008 @ 1:50 pmI think parents should always correct their child if they are wrong, they should also discipline them because it’s a way of learning and knowing what’s right and wrong.
Good parents should also keep their child on the right path.
Parents should have a good lifestyle because children follow in their parents footsteps and they are setting an example.
They should support their child as much as they can and understand them completely.
Qualities a parent should have are good child understanding, because a child sometimes doesn’t tell a parent a personal problem because they might be afraid to and don’t know how they will react and they might be embarassed.
A parent should provide a child with things that are important and needy.

Hello Miss T
9C Pre-reading (Part 1) – Bridge to Wiseman’s cove
Question 1
As parents their responsibilities towards their children , is to be there for them and to guide them along their way in life to make sure they make the smart decisions. Parents should financially support their children until they are older enough to stand on their own 2 feet and support themselves. Emotionally parents should support their children through all their years, being a teenage with problems, to being a married man/women with kids, they should always make sure their children know that they are there for them no matter what they do and they can always come to talk to their parents about everything and anything. A good parent need to be protective but not to protective, let their children have freedom but make sure that they don’t abuse that trust and freedom. A good parent should never make a child feel like he/she cannot come to them about anything, because it will only push that child further away and into the arms of drugs and alcohol.
Question 2
My responsibilities in my family is to make sure i help my mum around the house and with my little brother and sister, to make sure i do all my chores without any arguments and fighting, personal qualities that i think and ideal teenager should possess is to listen to his/her parents and to make sure that they don’t abuse the trust that their parents have given them. a good teenage should never disobey their parents and always do what they are told, if the teen is older enough to financially support him/herself then they should do so, and help contribute to their families financial needs also.
August 17, 2008 @ 5:37 pmI regard responsibilities such as taking care of the household, helping around the house, don’t let one person do everything when there’s a lot of work. Taking care of the family is a way of showing responsibility, being there for a member when times are rough.
August 19, 2008 @ 1:46 pmA teenager should have good manners and good sense, because the teenage years are the times kids do stupid thing’s and also teenagers should never turn down education because they really need it.
Yo my names Michael im a fly guy…
PART 1
The best parent in the world wuold be nice and understanding how the child is. A parent shuold be a good provider who does not spoil there child but can provide them with what they need. Guildlines are important in teenagers life, but also giving them space can also be a good thing. Also seeting a good exaple for the teenager is very importand, you no what they say ‘monkey see monkey do’ Always be there for ur child…
August 19, 2008 @ 1:46 pmThe responsibilities that i have arround the house Are cleaning my room,bring dirty clothes down stairs,clean dishes, help mum,dad and james when they need me and plenty more. some personal qualities are respect your family,do what they say and always treat them well because they are there to help you. My family are my life i respect them and i couldnt live without them. A good teenager should never disrespect there parents because there parents are there to guide them and to love them, accasionly you get into arguments but that our nature so you should treat your parents with the most respect.
August 19, 2008 @ 1:53 pmPart 1 Q2
i good teenager wuold look after the parents and never make them upset. The teenager shuold nearly always listen to there parents and follow there instructions. Everyday from school i come home take out the rubish and feed the dog to be a better teenager i cuold help mother with the cooking…
August 19, 2008 @ 1:58 pm1. good parents should know how to tame their children in the right way, and be understanding. they should provide and show love, care,warmth and facilities(shelter)
although try not to spoil them. good parents should always keep communicating with their children. good parents should never neglect their children, good parents should always have faith not only in themselves but in their children as well and believe that they will come through after having a rough time.
2. my responsibility towards my family is to respect and obey. give a helping hand when needed.. ect:
-feed the dogs
-wash the dishes
-hang the clothes’
-cook?
i think an ideal teenager should have good manners and well do respect others although they need to know how to have fun the right way =]
August 19, 2008 @ 2:28 pmthey need to know how it is to have responsibilities and know how to take care of themselves, not always tryna depend on other people.
Help them out because a person in your family could be really down and it’s nice to see that your family cares about you. Love them because a family needs to be loved by family members. They should possess caring, happiness, polite, well behaved and care full. That’s all I can think of. A good teenager should never: Run away, be a criminal, set bad examples , swear at their mum and dad and they should never hit them.
August 21, 2008 @ 1:51 pmQ1. The best ideal parent in the world has to care about me, asks me how’s my day, be a good role model, lets me follow my dreams. Also when I need their support they have to be there for me and support me all the way. Don’t give up when it’s a hard situation. They have to trust me and respect my wishes, tell me what is right from wrong. I have parents that cares about me, lets me go out but not a night because they say that I’m too young, but I understand why they don’t let me out that late and i will never ask for better parents than my own.
Q2. My responsibility’s towards my family is to do the dishes, make dinner sometimes, keep the house nice and clean and look after my siblings. Also as a older sister i have to be a good role model, what i do my siblings follow my footsteps. So I have to think before i act, around them. As a daughter i think i amd not the best daughter a parent can ask for, but I know my parents are pound of me, I think good teenagers should not disobey their elders and they also should have respect for others even if you dislike/don’t know them.
