Teenagers who work

As everyone is aware, some teenagers choose to get different kinds of jobs and we see them often working as waiters or shop assistants. But do we all agree this is positive for young people?

First of all, a job will bring pocket money, without having to ask your parents for it. Also, these part-time jobs may teach teenagers a little bit about real life, which will help them be more prepared for the future. By working the teenagers learn the value of money. In addition, the jobs will change teens into more independent, responsible and mature people. A first job Usually Does not pay much and it's not unusual for an individual to experience shock When They realize just how much of their pay check disappears before they get events and how much it cost in comparison to things what they bring home.  Quickly learn if kids that they want they are things in life going to need a good job. Teens who work tend to develop an appreciation for all that their parents have done for them.

On the other hand, having a job also has drawbacks as students don’t have enough time for their studies. What is more, these young workers will become very stressed and impatient because they don’t have any free time to enjoy themselves and relax. It’s better to work during the summer months

All in all, I firmly believe that teenagers have to be organized and must study every day to be able to have a job which will let them have.
