Why is responsibility important?
Inessa05 [86]
Responsibility is important because is no one had responsibility no one would be alive. Imagine if two people had a kid and neither of the parents were responsible, the kid could grow up a terrible life and not be mentally healthy or the kid could unfortunately die. Responsibility is needed with everything. You need lots of responsibility for a pet, you need to feed and water it, and make sure it is healthy.
