Some young kids do not have big responsibilities, but some kids have huge responsibilities depending on their situation. When I was a little girl my parents gave me some responsibilities like feeding animals every night, keeping my room clean, and getting up in time for school every morning. They never made it a big deal if I forgot to do something; they just made sure that I understood some of the consequences that would happen. I have been told that if I didn't feed the animals or give them water they could starve or become dehydrated. If I didn't get up for school on time and they noticed, they would come and see if I felt fine and make sure I got up to make it on time so I didn't miss any class work or important information that would be taught. The responsibility of keeping my room clean was going to help me with organization skills, and if there was an emergency my parents would be able to get to me safely without having to trip over anything.
With becoming older I have realized that I have important responsibilities such as paying bills, getting to college classes on time, and getting all my homework done on time. Although I don't have to pay bills quite yet, I have learned that if they are not paid on time they can end the supply. Since I have to pay to go to college, it is a big responsibility to make sure I am not late or miss information that would be taught. Also, it is important to make sure I do the homework that is assigned, so I don't end up flunking the class.
Responsibilities become more important as we get older. Some responsibilities are the same from when we are young to, as we get older. If my wonderful parents did not teach me the importance with responsibilities, then who knows where I would end up, not being able to take care of my family or myself.
