The reason most teenagers would go out to work during the holidays would most probably be the lack of money.Nowdays teenagers spent most of their pocket money on stuff like shopping etc,and hence,when the money given by our parents are not enough,the logical thinking would be to get a job.
There are both advantages and disadvantages of getting a holiday job.For the benefits,the first and foremost one would be being independent and not depend on our parents for money.As we all know,earning money now is not easy,hence we should learn to stand on our own feet and not treat our parents like an ATM machine.Through the experience,we'll also be able to understand how hard it is to earn money,and also learn not to squander our money freely.
Besides,getting the experience of working would do oneself good.We learn that many things we would not be able to learn in school.This experience would be a stepping stone towards the day when we finally step out to work in society.Also,it keeps us busy,and ensures that at least we will not waste our time throughout the long holiday break doing nothing.
The disadvantages might be that our academic performance might be affected.If our studies werent very good in the first place,maybe we should reconsider taking up a job in the holidays as it eats into our revision time.If however,you're someone who can manage to do revision after getting back from work,then I guess there's no problem in this aspect.
One problem faced might be our parents.Although most parents would be glad that their children are finally getting a taste of what's its like to work,some other parents might feel cautious about letting their children go out to work.This might come from over-protectiveness.Some persuading might come in handy in this area.
All in all,I approve the idea of teenagers going out to work,since this is a good experience for us,and it brings about many benefits.
