Today millions of teens have a part time job. Still, an excruciatingly frustrating number of parents say it would cause their teens grades to degrade so they have forced them to decline jobs. Jobs provide teens with a view on how the working world, well works. The jobs would assist teens into breading the stereotype of 30 year olds with their parents. A part time job will help that stereotype become a crazy image from the time when we didn’t have hover cars.
It would be beneficial for teens to get a part time job. The first reason is simply that teens need money. It’s just a fact, every teens wants something. Did you know that according to a recent study 75% of teens have to constantly bother their parents for money. If teens use their money irresponsibly, that wouldn’t be good for them or their parents.
A job can even help teens improve their grades. Having money gives teens responsibility, which gives them incentive to work harder. A recent study of teens showed that all kids had two more extracurricular activities. One of those could easily be exchanged for a part time job without much change. A downside is that some people might have the reverse reaction and do worse.
Taking part in the working world gives teens a chance to see what it’s like to be an adult. There are way too many 30 year olds living in their mothers basement. Showing kids what it’s like to be an adult too early might make them think they don’t want to be an adult.
During teenage years not all of the years the education needed for the world is taught in the classroom but in the working world. An addition of a part time job to an average day would serve just this purpose. A job would improve teens incentive to get a part time job. It would save teens tons of time spent bothering their parents for money. It would also give an image of how adulthood works. If you’re a parent, next time you see your teen, tell them that they can get a job if they want.
