When you’re a kid, your parents pay everything for you, so why shouldn’t you give them a break when you’re in high school? Over 30% of high school students work for at least part of their high school carrer. Most teens in high school are looking for a way to make money, especially when they turn 14, so they can buy a car. However, some teens can see how quickly their hard-earned money evaporates. Teens often have a passion to spend money on unnecessary things, such as video games, snacks and so on. However, they quickly realize that they’re spending more money than they make. Some teens may think it’s not a good idea to work because it takes up too much of their time, especially when they’re supposed to be studying for that important science test that’s coming up. While it’s hard to measure the relationship between working and grades, researchers have found that students who work up to 20 hours a week tend to have lower academic performance. Jobs also have an impact on teens’ social life and school life, which can be good or bad.
Some of them will live to see that it's not so good for teenagers, because it takes a lot of time, while they're supposed to be studying for the big science test that's coming up. This may be detrimental to the achievement of a degree. While it is not easy to measure the link between hours worked and grades, researchers have discovered that students working more than twenty hours a week are experiencing an impairment of their academic performance. A student can have little time to rest if he works and then goes back home for his studies. Although a job as a teenager can be hard, it also has its good effects, such as teenagers teaching time management.
So you can see how having a job can affect a teen. Well It wouldn't really be a shocker if i told you that 72% percent of teens quit their first job within a year. A number of studies show that job work has a positive effect on the development of young people. Too much work is not good, and too little work doesn’t show positive results. The best way for young people who do their job is moderate and steady work. Personally, working as a teenager is kind of good because I get to meet all sorts of new people every time I work there and also see other people that I've met before. Also I like how i get to get tips, like it's always nice to have pocket money, right?

I do have a job. I help my uncle farm. I think it best for teens to have a job so it teaches them how to work for when there older in life and when they wanna build a hosue thehy will have money saved up.
I agree that is teaches them how to work, also i think it helps teach them time management too.
I have a job, I work for my dad farming. I think it is important for teens or kids in school to have a job it will teach them responsibility and teach them how much money is actually worth. I think carrying money on you is a good thing.
I agree with you, carrying money can very much teach teens responsibility.
I belive that teens should absulutly gave a job, At the teen stage of a persons life they begin to drive. We all know gas is not free so fore a teen to get around they need money to pay for gas. There are lots of job opertinities in harlan for a teens job
I agree, teens do need gas money, and you shoudn't ask your parents for money all the time, and driving is a very important part of teens lives.
I do have a job at Pizza Ranch and Salem Lutheran Homes and Rehabilitation Center. I think working as a teen is good because, you can buy your own stuff if your parents don't let you with their money .
Yeah, I always hate asking my parents for money because it's just embarresing because i know i could have had money if i didn't spend money on that one cool thing.
I do have a job as I work at Fareway, and wokring is important so you can save it for trips, a car, snacks, college, etc. Carrying money is good, but don't lose it because my parents would get mad if I lose money or my debit card that I use.
Yeah, I would get mad too my child lost their money, its good to have money for trips.
