TEENAGERS AND HOLIDAYS
FCE 1 students have just started with a new unit dealing with travelling. The first reading text focuses on teenagers going on holiday with friends.
At what age do you think teenagers should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends? Why?
Have your say! Leave a comment with your opinion. Pay attention to your grammar and try to avoid typical mistakes.
In my opinion the age does not matter, parents have to rely on their children, and they need to know the responsibility of each children, not only for the holidays also with other decisions that parents take. So, the most important thing is, that parents trust their children. So they will be easier to make decisions. But in this case I would leave my child to travel with their friends at age 15-16.
In my opinion, it depends on the responsibility of the child. In some cases, teenagers that are 15 years old can be more conscious than teenagers that are 18 years old. A part from this, it is important to know with what kind of friends is going to go on holiday, if they are sympathetic, responsible… So, from my point of view, you don´t have to give much importance to the age, because there are other aspects more important than this.
In my opinion, teenagers should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends depending on the teenager we are talking about.
If the teenager is a mature person who knows what kind of things could he do and could not do, I think he should be allowed to go on holiday with his friends with 16 years old. But if the place it's no so far of course.
Whereas if the teenager is an inmature person I think he should wait to go on holiday with his friends till 18 years old.
I think that they should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends at the age of 15. I think that they are matures and able to organize themselves.
I think that with 16 years they should be allowed to go on holiday with their friend. When they are 16 the teenagers are aware of what they do so it shouldn't be a problem to travel with friends.
In my opinion, they should leave them to go on holidays with their friends at the age of 15 or 16. I think that principally in that age or period they start staying more with their friends and leaving a bit apart their parents, that is to say, they start resolving their problems individually, without having the help of their parents or any adult. So, I´m sure that, specially in summer, they will prefer to go with their group of friends, it doesn´t matter where.
I think that teenagers can go on Holiday with their friends when they are responsible enough for staying alone without their parents. But I think that the perfect age it’s 18, because each one is responsible of the things that he/she does. And their parents have to trust in them and let them going on holiday, because all the teenagers need to stay without their parents, a little bit of freedom.
In my opinion, teenagers should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends with about 16 or 17 years old, because I think that with this age people are sufficiently responsable and I don't think they have the need of their parents.
In my opinion, they should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends with 16 years old. I think that at this age teenagers are more responsible because they stay more with their friends and they don´t have the need of their parents.
I think that, there isn´t any special age for this. It depends in how mature is the teenager. If the parents see that their son is mature enough for going on holiday with his friends, they should allow, but if he isn´t mature enough, they shouldn´t allow
I think that this kind of things are not decided by looking the age. From my point of view the responsibility is more important that the age in this case, because one teen of 16 years old can be more responsible that one with 18.
In my opinion that depends on each person, I mean, dependes on how responsible and concious of his actions is your daughter or son. For example,a teenager of 18 years old can be less responsible than a boy that is 15.
In my opinion, it depends on how mature the teenager is. If the teenager is responsible and their parents trust him I think that parents should let him go on holiday with his friends.
I think that a person of 15 years old is as responsible as one who is 18, but parents are who decide if their children should go on holiday with friends or not. The reason is that, parents think that we are still kids and because of that they never rely on us, but a 15 years old child knows to behave like an adult.
In my opinion there are many aspects more important than the age. For example,the place they are going to go and the responsability of the teenager.If the teenager is responsable and if the parents have confidence in her or him they should let him/her to go on holidays with mor or less 15 years.
For going with frinds on holidays, you must be very responsible. So, I think, parents can let them go on holidays when they see that their son or daugther is responsible enough.
In my opinion,the good age to go on holidays with our friends is 16-17 but,I also think that the age doesn’t matter the question is that parents have to trust with their daughter and sons. I think that this age is perfect to go on holidays with our friends because we are responsibles. In the other hand I also understand our parents.
In my opinion, the age 15- 16 can be a good period to go out with friends for teenagers because, most of them, are enough responsible and they like to stay with friends.
In my opinion teenagers should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends at the age of 16-17. At that age, most teenagers are responsible and they need freedom. Besides, I think that teens should try to get money in order to pay the travel. I think that it has no sense for parents to pay a trip without enjoying it.
I think that it not depends on age because is not tested when became mature and responsible the teen. In my opinion are the parents who have to know when are their son/daughter responsibles to go out on holidays. But I know that is a very difficult decision for the parents and this is why I think that the teenagers should be have a good comunication with their parents for they know how they are and believe in them.
I think that the teenagers should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends when they are 16, because most teenagers are enough matures to organise their holidays and to be independent.
I think that we start going out more with friends at the age of 15 or 16 more or less, depending on where you live. From my point of view, it is not a matter of age. We are all different from the others, a teenager who is sixteen can be mature, whereas, another teenager that is the same age not. Every parent has to rely on his or her children, and a teenager can go on holiday when he or she feels responsible enough to be out from home without his or her parents. Freedom is a feeling that all of us appreciate sometimes, but we must let the others know that we deserve it.
From my point of view, they should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends when they are 15 or 16 years old because they are able to control their selves and to resolve the problems that would happen at the moment.
In my opinion there is not an age to go on holiday with the friends because al the pipol don´t mature equaly. The parents are who must control the personality of their son/daughter and decide when let them to go on holiday with the friends.
In my opinion, teenagers can go on holiday with their friends when they are responsible to go without parents. This can be at the age of 16 or 17. It depends on how the teenager is.
From my point of view, each teenager is a world, so, the age to go on holidays with their friends varies depending if a teenager is enough responsible in the opinion of her/his parents. If the parents of a teenager think that her son or daughter is responsible and mature they are going to let him/her before, that if they think that is an irresponsible and an immature.
I think that teenagers should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends with 15 years, because in my opinion, at this age, the persons are responsible enough to protect themselves. But, all the people isn't at same as mature, so, such as parents are who know their children better, I leave in the hands of the parents this decision.

But, all the people isn't at same as mature, so, such as parents are who know their children better, I leave in the hands of the parents this decision.
In my opinion parents are who decide if their children csn go or not on holiday until they are 18 years old. However, it depends on the teenager. If he or she is matture enough to go on holiday with their friends and their parents allow him/her to go, I don't think that the age is so important.
The age to go on holiday with our friends, is not a expecific age. It depends of the responsability that we have. One teenager that is 16 years old can be more mature and responsible than one that is 18 years old.
From my point of view, the age doesn't matter. What parents must take into account is the responsbility their son or daughter has got. As we know, not all the people of the same age have got equal responsability and personality . So I think that if the parents think their daughter or son is enough matture, they should let him or her travel alone with his or her friends. I personally think 15 or 16 could be a good age. As I have said before, it depends on the person.
In my opinin the age to let parents to go on hollidays depends of basically two things. the first one is the place that the teenager is going. If he is going to some place he hasn´t danger is easier to let the teenager go. Also depends how much responsable is the teenager. So the age to let teenagers can change.
Teenegers should be allowed to go on holiday with their friends when they are enough responsible with ourselfs. I think that parents should realaised that at the age of 16, teenegers need more freedom and that a holiday with their friends could be a good idea.
From my point of view, teenagers should be enough responsible to go on holiday with their friends when they are 16 years more or less. Besides, I think it doesn't depend on the age of the teenager, but in the mature of each one. Parents have to take that decision basing on how their children are. Anyway, teenagers have to have a minimum of freedom to mature making their own mistakes.
In my opinion the age don't matter, if the child is a very responsible person you must let him go on holidays with his/her friends but if the child isn't very responsable you don't let him go.
In my opinion, it depends on the maturity of the teenager. I think than if the teen is mature and responsible enough, their parents ought to trust on the teenager and belive that he or she would be O.K. However, I don´t think parents rely on "their little children" as much as they should.
In my opinion teenagers should be allowed to go on holidays when they´re 16. Teenagers have to be responsible to go on holidays on their own and I think that we are responsible enough.
I think that parents should allow to their son or daughters to go on holiday with their friends at the age of 14-15, because at that age we are normally responsibles.But if the parents see that their son isn´t mature I wouldn´t allow, because it can be dangerous.
I think that the teens should be allowed to go on holidays by themself at the age of 18 because of many laws that are imposed by the goverments of diferent countries. Not only because of that, many teenagers are not very mature and they are not prepared to live alone or with their friends, so I think that it would be better to go on holidays with their parents until being adults.
In my opinion, parents should let their children go on holidays provided that they win their trust.
Of course, if they aren't more than 18 years old,and if they get in problems, the parents are always responsible for their actions. So first of al, they must win their trust.
Well, In my opinion teenagers should be allowed to go on holliday, approximately when they are aruond 16years old. that is to say, depending on the type of holiday that it is,the teenagers at this age, normaly have as many as responsability to be allow by her parents to spend the a good time with their friends.
In my opinion this kind of things are not decided by looking the age. If the tenager is responsible their parents trust him and parents should let him go on holiday with his friends.
I think that teenagers should be allowed to travel with his or her friends when the teenager is mature, more or less with 15 or 16 years old. The age doesen't matter if the teenager is not mature their parents shouldn't let him to go on holiday with his friends.
As a teenager, from my point of view I think that we should be aloowed to go on hollidays with our friends more or less with 16 years old because with that age most of the teenagers we are responsables and we know how to move from different places. Is true that could be a bit dangerous because it could happen us a lot of things but if we do everything prudently, maybe they are going to be the best hollidays of our live.
In my opinion, teenagers should be allowed to go on holliday without parents when they are around 15-16. The parents have to be the ones who have to see if their son or daughter is responsible to organize weel the voyage, and also if it is save or not.
In my opinion, the age doesn't matter so much. It's more important the responsability of the teenager than the age. If you are responsible, your parents let you go on holidays with your friends.
