Teenagers Working During The Holidays.

Nowadays, more teenagers are engaged in their job rather then staying at home restlessly. Personally, i think it is not a bad idea for them to start working in the society at this age. Compared to those who would rather stay at home wasting their time watching television or playing computer games, working is more meaningful. There are several reasons to which why teenagers want to find a job during the holidays and of course, there are some benefits and disadvantages to this.

Most probably, teenagers think that the amount of pocket money they received from their parents are not enough to last them through the one month vacation. It would only supply them with food and transport. How will that satisfy them? Thus, they could buy what they want with the money they earned. There are also some families which do not have sufficient money to meet the ends. Therefore, teenagers from such families have to work during the holidays to help with the family's income.

Teenagers will definitely benefit somehow when they step into the society to work. Firstly, they will gain experience that cannot be found in the textbook. They will be able to find a job easier in the future. Teenagers will also be able to learn some new skills through the job. This will help them in the future. Working will also increase in their confident. They will be more mature in the way they see things because the world out there is bigger then staying in a small classroom. In the classroom, we are only restricted to the things in the textbooks. But in the working society, they get to know more experienced workers and learn from them. Most importantly, teenagers will learn how to manage and use their time wisely.

Although we know the advantages, there is still a certain degree of danger behind teenagers working. Firstly, teenagers might spend their money on too many unneccessities and waste the money. Secondly, when they work in the society, they might get to know friends which will lead them to bad influences. Such as taking drugs which will harm their body and get addicted. Thirdly, Spending too much time on working might affect their studies.

Still, i agree will teenagers working during the holidays. As long as they know the where is the limitations. They should also know how to protect themselves from people harming them. They must also take note in their studies if they are weak at that. Most importantly, they should seek the consent of their parents and learn from the good points of working.
