I have ever heard that many teenagers work in other during studying at their school in other countries. On the other hand, in my countries, most teenagers do not have jobs while they are students since it is not allow for teenager to work due to law. My parents agree that it is not good for teenager students to work, and they used to say this to me over a hundred times when I was teenager. Although this sounds old people’s nagging, I think what my parents said is right because of several disadvantages for teenager students.
To begin with, teenagers’ study would be interrupted by working. It usually takes at least over 5hours for working but teenagers do not have enough time to work. They spend 6or7 hours at school, and they also have several home works from their class everyday. Therefore, the work teenager students do after school would affect teenagers’ study time. Besides, teenagers might lose their concentration while they study at school. They do not have appropriate skill to have a professional job so their work is almost blue collar jobs which require physical condition. Therefore, the work would make them exhausted, and it possibly distracts teenager students attention at their class comes due to lack of rest time or obsession about work.
Lower condition of teenager students’ work is another disadvantage for them. Many employers incline to exploit young workers because the regulation about employing them is not strict. Thus, the teenager would have low income as well as overworking if they met bad employers.
Although there are some advantages for teenager students to work such as working experience, I would not want to suggest teenager students to work since their study is their priority as long as they have a good skill to have a good job, and they would suffer circumstances from terrible condition of their work. So, if I had a teenager son who wanted to work while he was student, I would recommend my son to study rather than studying. |
