Some people say that a parents responsibility for his/her child ends when the child

reaches the age of eighteen. Others say that this responsibility never ends.
When the children reaches the age of eighteen they are officially responsible for
their own actions in life. While some people claim that when children reaches the
age of eighteen they should not be depended on their parents other assert that
they will always be the baby of their parents.
For starters, at the age of eighteen children should get a job and take care about
themselves. In fact they are responsible for their action in front of court. For
instance, if child at the age of eighteen ends in prison because of some illegal things
which he or she do, then parents can`t help them. Furthermore, some research
shows that children, who at the age of eighteen starts to leave alone and without
any parents help, are more independent and get image what the real world is.
On the other hand, parents will always take care about their children because they
are everything to them. Moreover, eighteen years can`t be the age when children
are off parents hands. First thing to remember is that some children goes to
university or they are still in high school so they need financial help and support
from their parents. Not to mention that some children have special needs so they
will always depend on their parents. With this in mind parents must evermore take
care about their children and be responsible for them.
To sum up, parents are not responsible for their children at the age of eighteen
because children are now officially responsible for their own actions in front of
court, however If children still goes to school or have special needs parents will
always be responsible for them. As long as I`m concerned, parents responsibility for
their children stop only when they or children die.
