These days, people give money as gift to
teenagers. Some people think this is the best gift for them, while others do
not agree to such point of view. In this essay, I will look into both views and
suggest my opinion.
People
believe that money is a good gift to teenagers because teenagers can buy things
that they really want or need for themselves with money. Nowadays, since the speed
of change of our society is getting faster and faster, there is a huge gap between
generations. Thus, adults find it difficult to choose suitable presents for
teenagers. They use different products which did not even existed in the past.
For example, teenagers would be very happy to receive presents related to their
smartphones or tablet PCs, and there are a large variety of products in this
area. However, most of the elder generations are not familiar with such
products, and even if they are familiar, they get to know about them much later
than the teenagers to whom they would like to give a present. Therefore, money that
can solve such problem would be the best present.
On
the other hand, some people reckon money cannot be the best gift to teenagers,
because what they truly want is love and affection towards them. Even though
teenagers seem to be independent human beings physically, they are still in the
stage of growing up. This makes showing mental support towards them a meaningful
present. Therefore, instead of money, gifts that can reveal the love and support
for them would be a better present. For instance, smartphone items that has
pictures or characters which the receiver likes the most can be a good present,
though it could seem as an old fashioned item. It is because it will show how
much the giver is considering the teenager’s likes and dislikes.
In
my opinion, money is not the best gift to teenagers. It can be a convenient
gift, but not the best on. Gifts are presented to express one’s love and care
towards others, and thus, there are diverse goods that can function as the best
present.
