Parents should teach their children about there own religion and different religions but should not pressure them into anything. Let the children make there own decision.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing things that scare you even if they seem insignificant.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it depends on the kid and honestly it should start as soon as they can talk. For example they can make there decision of when they want to eat or what they want to play with. The more mature someone gets the bigger decisions they should make on there own.

I think that an overprotective parent can affect a teen life in a lot of different ways. I feel like a lot of times when kids can overprotective parents the kids end up becoming secretive and act out more. I think that there should be a level of being free and being able to do your own thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Some people might have grown up in a very religious household, so they might've been raised that way and they might want the same for their child, that's why breaking away from parents' beliefs can be scary as the parent/s can feel disappointed and/or angry about it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think your family should not have any influence over your religious beliefs. I think you should be allowed to explore and you parents should allow that.

The way I see it, The more overprotective the teen's parents is, the more their not going to trust telling their parents anything, and would rather go to friends for answers

Some parents take their religion to the max, and some people are born without and option of opting out of their family religion.

# data[].attributes.body
It can be difficult because when you be taught something your whole life it may be hard to believe other things.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally I think parents shouldn't have control, their child is able to have their own opinion and thoughts religion wise

# data[].attributes.body
They should explain everything to you, but do whatever you want.

# data[].attributes.body
None, they can influence you into believing in their religion, but what religion you believe in should be your decision

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, silence should never be a form of punishment because it establishes a mindset within someone that prevents them from being able to be alone with their thoughts and explore their mind. Silence is a gift that allows a person to decompose their thoughts, and become more connected with themselves. Silence as a punishment is cruel, because it causes psycological problems within a person.

# data[].attributes.body
Doing things that you don't normally do

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to break away from the beliefs because parents just want a healthy relationship and life for you. They may disagree because they know what the religion really means.

An overprotective parent can affect a teens life by invading their personal privacy, and making them uncomfortable with information that they found. For example, outing a child. They can also turn children away from important life lessons if they don't allow them to do certain things.

# data[].attributes.body
Overprotective parents can be a significant detriment to a teenager's life. Although they usually have the best interest in mind, it can easily seem blurry to a teenager. As you mature, you must find your identity outside of your parents.

# data[].attributes.body
It can be difficult to break away from the beliefs of your parents because it might make then feel as if they have "failed you" especially if their parents taught them a religion and then they want to teach you that same religion and you decide not to follow it. Not only might it make them feel sad but it might offend them. They might be mad that you decide to go a different path then them.

Silence can be a form of protection because what you don't say remains unknown. Silence is a mask you where from the truth and it can feel like the most comforting and protective thing until all you want to do is speak but you can't.

To prevail. Brave doesnt always mean facing your fears. It can mean to be resilient and strong, to go through something and be able to say that your still standing. You dont even need to make it, its brave to admit that you HAVE fears and problems.

Human nature is curious. If parents shield their kids from the outside world because of bad experiences they may have had as a child, the teen will not be able to go out and learn for themselves how to navigate the world. This causes them to grow up feeling trapped, and usually after they go to college they go off the walls and end up getting hurt. People need to be able to experience things at the right times is life, not when the parent sees it fit.

# data[].attributes.body
I think once you reach around the age of 16 because you can get your own job and really become more independent thus you can start to show your parents that you can handle making your own decisions .

# data[].attributes.body
To go out of your comfort zone and take risks

# data[].attributes.body
As someone that grew up with no religious belifs. I think none. I think that you yourself should look into it and decide what you want to believe in. I hate the idea of being forced into something. Of course parents can introduce their religions and you can learn about it but they shouldn't force you into it. It should be entirely up to you.

# data[].attributes.body
Silence only protects you to an extent because eventually all your pain will build up and you will be more unhappy than if you expressed yourself instead of staying quiet.

# data[].attributes.body
I think keeping a diary is great if you don't feel comfortable enough to talk to people you trust about your problems, I would be careful though because someone could try to steal it.

It can be difficult to detach because, its what you grew up with, and you can associate it with love or family, or you have an unhealty relationship with the beliefs and they are engraved into your mind.

An overprotective parent can affect a teens life by not giving them the liberty to spread their wings and be the independent person they need to be in order to have a successful life as an adult.

I'm Christian so religion is very important. Growing up young, kids should learn what it means to be in a certain religion and accept it. (i.e. Christian, Jewish) After they learn, (which they should take time in doing so) then they could talk with their parents about it and the parents should listen.

# data[].attributes.body
I think to be brave is to step out of your confort zone. To do something that might scare you. To be spontaneous.

It can be difficult because these are the people who raise you and love you more than anyone so breaking away from their beliefs can seem tragic when that is what you have been taught your whole life, but time heals everything.

I don't think teaching children about a certain religion, or religions is bad, I just think its important to make sure that they know they could believe in whatever they want, I don't believe family should have any control over your religious beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
Your parents gave life to you and raised you, and because of that people feel they owe a lot of gratitude to them, which they do. However, if you do not agree with a certain belief your parents have, you are not obligated to agree with it simply because they are your parents. But this can cause guilt in a child, and often they end up accepting the belief out of pressure.

# data[].attributes.body
Silence is protection until it is hurtful. Silence can be something that shields us from feeling and expressing emotions, but that can bottle up and make us numb to things we need to let out.

I feel like this comment depends on the person. Personally i feel like you should have an intimate relationship when you know exactly what that is and what it looks like. You have to have a level of maturity to know what type of intimate relationship is right and which one is wrong. I feel like that is a very important factor to know. I would normally say in your teens year, specifically 15+ but then again some teenagers can be immature and not just immature, might not know the difference between right and wrong. But i still agree that 15+ is the right age to start an intimate relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
around 15 or even 16 is a proper age to start dating because to be in relationship is something that needs responsibility and i feel that when your younger you dont really tend to understand that.

# data[].attributes.body
Silence is a form of protection because saying something that can hurt the person can affect your relationship so choosing not to say something and just listen can help the person. But I do believe it is always better to communicate and be transparent

# data[].attributes.body
This can affect a teen's life because if you don't allow your children to do a ton of things when you are in control, once they are on their own they will want to do all the things they haven't been allowed to do and sheltered from.

Because you look up to them, and think in their mindset.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think a parent should allow their child to make their own decisions at 15-16 because that's when you have to start making real life decisions. However I do think your parents can still guide you and/or give you tips

# data[].attributes.body
They can advise children about religion and what to believe, but shouldntn have full control.

# data[].attributes.body
This can be difficult because your parents most times have so much influence over you that breaking away from it can turn your family against you.

When you first think about silence you may think about the many benefits, but at the end of the day silence can result in pain. A lot of the time it is easier to keep quiet about your problems. But when you really think about it, that's not a good decision.

Going outside your comfort zone.

# data[].attributes.body
You dont want to disappoint them, they raised you and to tell them that you dont believe in something they do it hard. Its also hard to unlearn so much that has been engraved in your mind since you were young.

I think your family should give you a basis of religion but it is up to you to decide what you do or do not believe in.

# data[].attributes.body
When you are mature & when you are either 13 or 16 is when they should start trusting you more.

# data[].attributes.body
Age 15-16. Making your own decisions is a big deal because you have to understand what you're doing. Also it depends on your maturity.

# data[].attributes.body
To be brave can mean many things in many different situations, but if I had to give a certain definition I would say, saying or doing what you believe is right in the moment and not fearing repercussions for it.

# data[].attributes.body
To make choices and follow through with things that are out of your comfort zone or not normal for you.

# data[].attributes.body
to the extent where the person youre being silent about isnt in true danger and its a cause of danger.

An overprotective and strict parent will make a child act out. It will force behavior in a reactionary way. It will skew a child's view of the world into what they have been taught.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe religion is very important in certain cultures, such as my own, and when children are young they should be exposed to the culture and religion of their family. If they choose to continue their faith in the religion as they grow up, that is their choice, but beyond that it is no longer a families obligation to force their religious beliefs onto you if you have already rejected them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teens should feel comfortable having a diary because it is one way to let yourself unleash any stresses if you don't have someone to talk to about your problems or even just fun events that happen

Overprotective parents can scare there children into living life in fear. Its important to be aware of whats going on around you but you cant live life afraid of everything. It can cause extreme anxiety and mental anguish when the child then has to do anything alone, it hinders their social growth. They wont be able to think for themselves.

If you are responsible enough, and can make informed and logical choices, your parent/guardian can trust you to make your own decisions.

As I said before, I think a serious relationship can start at whatever age you want, the important thing is that you feel ready.

# data[].attributes.body
This depends on what the decisions are and how life altering they can be, if the child is not in their right mind, in some situations I might rule for the parent in that situation help them and make a certain decision for them, but I think if the child knows what they're doing and there's no harm in it, making decisions for yourself can start at any age, but more extreme decision making, maybe 16 if I had to say.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think your family should have any control over your beliefs, however I think growing up you are mainly influenced by what your parents think. I think this is fine as long as they give you the space to allow you to decide when you are older.

Parents or guardians should allow you to make your own decisions throughout your entire growing up. However, they should advice you on decisions you make and help you recognize when a choice is not so wise.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever you and and you're partner are comfortable and are in a good mental state, over 18 years old though. Also you understand what it means to ask for consent.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think there isn't a specific age to start dating, it's mostly when you feel ready and mature enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever you feel like you really know yourself as a person or whenever you feel like you are mature.

# data[].attributes.body
When you reach your last two years of High School, or when your life is drama free...

Teens should keep a diary to write down their positive and negative thoughts. Sometimes, when you bottle up your emotions, they negatively impact those around you, and can become overwhelming at one point. Your diary will always listen and won't judge.

# data[].attributes.body
Parents should not force beliefs on you for any reason. A belief is your own, not the shared thought of every single person, and forcing a belief makes it become something that is not a belief.

# data[].attributes.body
Family should have no influence over religious beliefs but at the same time introduce the child to different religions.

14-15. At the start of High School, Parents need to realize that in 4 years, you'll be heading to College.

I have very mixed opinions about dating. On one hand, I don't really have a problem with dating at a young age (12-13) besides the fact that the relationships are usually immature. It's a good way for kids to learn. On the other hand I feel like it's a good age for kids to start dating around like 15-16 because you have a bit more maturity and know exactly what type of relationship you want.
To finish off, I guess since i have a hard time deciding i'll go with an in between answer of 14.

I personally believe they should not allow you to make your own life-changing decisions until the age of 15. For example, when I was younger I used to be a gymnast. I told my mom I wanted to stop taking gymnastics, and she agreed. Now I wish I had never stopped and wished she would have just decided for me. Some decisions are better left for people who have experienced more things, like your parents.
