Should We Be Required to Get a License to Become Parents?
To all the students in this class, I believe that all of you are familiar with being yelled at by our parents, maybe it was because of your report cards or maybe it was because you went out late. Whatever reason it was, I am sure that none of us was happy about our parents being ‘whiny’, right? But, at all the times that happened, have you ever hated your parents so bad you want to die so that you can make them feel bad at your funeral? Believe it or not, this is what some of the children who were interviewed by the Nationwide Coalition to End Child Abuse want to do. The question is: “Why would such heart-breaking thoughts like these appear in the mind of these kids?”. The answer is ‘bad parenting’. Bad parenting, along with its negative effects on children and society, raise the question: “Should people be required to get a license in order to become parents?”. I know some might laugh at this seemingly impractical idea. They may argue that being parents is the most basic and natural job a human being is given and that biological parents all have the right to live with their biological children like they supposed to. However, I, along with many others, strongly believed that just leaving them in the hand of these people is, in many ways, not a logical idea.

If the child was born into a family where the bad-tempered father would beat up the mother every time he’s impatient, it will learn to be an aggressive kid, who may grow up and hurt people. If the child was born into a rich family where its mommy and daddy give it big bucks every time it want, it will become a spoiled child, who will never learn the value of money, as well as the value of earning it.
The next point I would like to make is, every child deserves to live in the loving hands of its parents, but not every parent give birth to a child wanting it and
