Control is a complicated subject. What is it exactly? There is a emotional control, control over one's actions, control over someone else's actions, etc..
As a fourteen year old, I get little to no control over my actions. My parents are the one's who have the power to allow or tell me to do anything. I cannot refuse or not listen because they are the ones who provide and care for me. In my opinion, this isn't a fair system. Control over what I do and how I should behave shouldn't be my parent's concern. Once in high school, I feel that everyone knows who they are and how the can/should behave. By now, parents don't need to be in control, until the children give them a reason to. But yes, they have a right to control me because they provide for me but I feel that that doesn't mean they mean they own me. I think that control is this: balance, and people (parents for example) should to know when to give it to other their kids and when to take it away.
On the contrary, there is other parts of my life where I do have control. For example, I have control over my emotions. This means, I'm not crying for hours when something goes wrong, I can keep myself composed when I need to. Emotional control is something (like control over my actions) you get over time. For instance, kids cry and whine but once adults they have fully matured and gain emotional control. Control is power and power needs balance to work.
