Introduction
Present situation Many crimes and social problems are caused by
children. Despite the damage these teenage criminals cause, parents are not held
responsible in most countries. What this essay will do (Thesis sentence) This essay
will discuss whether parents should be forced to pay for their children's crimes.
Paragraph 2: Against Topic Sentence There are many reasons why parents should
not be responsible for crimes committed by teenage children.
Reason 1: Independence
First of all, teenagers today are independent. They often move out of the parent's house
at 18 years of age or younger. They are expected to learn to take care of themselves and

make their own decisions, and not stay like small children attached to their parents.
Reason 2: Parents working Secondly, parents are working. They cannot watch their
adolescent children all the time. Reason 3: Parents have done their job A third point is
that even children from good families can sometimes commit crimes. Parents should not
be responsible if they have worked hard to raise their children properly.
Paragraph 3: For Topic Sentence However, because of the many problems young
troublemakers cause, I feel we should make parents responsible. Reason 1: Lack of
Parental Control Firstly, most juvenile crimes are committed by adolescents whose
parents do not care or make any effort to control their children. If parents had to pay
fines, they might make more effort.
Reason 2: Children not mature
Another point is that even though the children may seem mature, they are not really able
to make good decisions. Parents should be responsible for raising and teaching their
children until they are fully grown. Reason 3: Children will think Furthermore, if
children know that their parents will have to pay, they will think carefully before doing
getting into trouble nothing here Conclusion

Summary
In summary, there are good reasons both for and against making parents pay for acts
committed by their children.

Future/Personal Opinion
However, I feel strongly that if we want to reduce the number of such crimes, we need
to make parents take more responsibility.

Show how many parts your essay will have
Sometimes the reader can tell which paragraphs will follow the thesis statement.

In an essay with the thesis statement above, there will clearly be three parts - one on the
effects of drugs on the individual, one part with the effects on the family, and another
with the effects on society.
Be Strong

Sometimes you don't need a "will" or "going to". Your thesis statement is so strong that
it is clear what your opinion is.
Beating children brutalizes parents, damages the parent-child relationship, and is
completely unnecessary.
In an essay with the thesis statement above, there will clearly be three parts - one on the
effects of corporal punishment on parents, one part with the effects relationship, and
another which claims that beating is not needed.
Words to use in the thesis sentence
analyze, look at, examine, discuss, outline, consider, describe

give your opinion, if you haven't given it already
look to the future (say what will happen if the situation continues or changes)

Should we test products on animals?

I agree that we need to make sure that animals who are used for testing new products
have the minimum of suffering. However, I am convinced that animal testing is
necessary, and that it will continue to benefit humans in new and wonderful ways.
Should we beat children?
In conclusion, physical punishment can be a useful method of discipline. However it
should be the last choice for parents. If we want to build a world with less violence we
must begin at home, and we must teach our children to be responsible.
Is education important?
In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of
education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are
educated to the maximum of their ability.
Who are the better parents - men or women?
I think this is not an either/or question. Both men and women have strengths and skills
that are important for children's psychological growth. We need to ensure that both
parents play an important role in the family in order to give children a good start in life.
Who learns quicker - adults or children?
Finally, I feel that we cannot generalize about children or adults being better learners.
It depends on the situation and the motivation of the person, and the level of enthusiasm
he or she has for learning.
Should dangerous sports be banned?
In summary, our society would be healthier if more people took part in sports of all
kinds. We should continue to try to prevent accidents and injuries. However, we should
also ensure that sports are challenging, exciting, and, above all, fun.
