Should teenagers work during the holidays? Well, I myself do agree.
In this 21st century, its a common sight to see teenagers working in fast food restaurants, giving out flyers, etc. but why do they want to work when they could enjoy their one month long holidays?
Firstly, they want to have more pocket money. Their parents might not have gave them enough pocket money or they just wanted to have more money? Why would anyone complain about having more money? Teenagers could use their own money and spent on things that they want, or just to spoil themselves during the holidays. They will no longer need to demand or ask for more money from their parents and get a scolding instead.
Secondly, they could gain valuable working experiences. Experiences are important to us, no matter doing what. And so, when they step out into the society and work they could be ahead of other people due to their working experiences that they acquire when they were still teenagers. Its good anyway. This does certainly increase in their efficiency and quality in their work. And of course, bosses will like them. Young but experienced.
Thirdly, they could realise how hard it is for their parents to earn money for the family. So instead of wasting money on useless things, why not save it up for future use or use the money wisely? This would not only spare a thought for their parents, it will also mature their thinking, that earning money is hard. They could get a feel how hard their parents worked to support the family, while having to face their boss's scoldings.
Although working might affect your studies, but as long as you are confident that you can manage your time well, why not give it a shoot, a try? Its worth it.
