Teens At Work

Teens work to help them gain work experience for jobs that they will take in the future. “Clark is a 16 year old who talks about how working experience can help teens like him to succeed in their career” (“Africa News Service” 1). Working experience can build a sense of confidence for teens . “Many teens talk about how having a chance to work makes them confident as a human being” (Scherer 1). Teens want work experience so they can improve in their weak points. “Bailey talks about how she was very shy, but until she started working she had become more open towards people” (2). Teens getting working experience and equally treated will help them be confident and grow up to be a good example of an

Being a student in high school and having a job can teach students how to manage their time well. Time management is the most important when it comes to having a job in high school. Some portion of growing up is having a calendar and staying on top of it. By taking a job in high school, high schoolers can discover how it feels before they hit college. Thus, they might have the capacity to go up against more duties and credit hours, and experience the advantages of both!

     Jobs won’t only support teens for the things they want, but it can help benefit for the things they need. The first things teens think of for their future are going to college and getting their first car. But, let’s say there’s a well educated thirteen-year-old, raised in a low-income family, who has plans on going to college.

Teenagers have enough stress as it is right? Adolescence is an awkward time of transition from childhood to adulthood which can be more than scary for most. Between spending time with family, making friends, doing homework, participating in sports or other recreational activities, and growing up in general, who has time to get a job? Although it can add to the stress of teenage life, getting a job has more pros than cons. My experience working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at Morgantown Care and Rehabilitation Center has been a learning experience about responsibility, patience, and compassion.

Like I stated before I was only sixteen when I got my first job and the only responsibilities I had before then were the chores around my house, which included mowing the lawn, washing the dishes, making my bed, and folding the laundry. Having any type of job requires more responsibility. This job required me to handle day to day office management which included, taking out the trash, restocking food and beverages, and vacuuming and sweeping. This taught me basic professional skills and how to take care of something other than myself. I also quickly learned that I needed to be responsible enough to multi-task my time between school, work, and a sport. I also had to be responsible enough to show up on time and to report to work every day that I said I would. Overall, I learned on the job techniques that I applied to the real world. For example, I also use this work experience, multi-tasking, and being on time with my second job, college and personal

Teen activists work in different ways. Some teen activists, like Malala Yousufzai used social media to receive attention for her cause. Different teen activists, like Craig Kielburger made a organization called “ Free The Children” to stop child labor and poverty around the world. Other teen activists, like Alex Lin asked the government to pass his law for e-waste to refurbish computers and electronics, he gives the electronics to kids around the world who can't afford them, instead of throwing them away, which could lead to complications in human life. Teen activists all work hard to motivate others and are eloquent at speaking people to make their cause known. Iqbal Masih and Malala Yousufzai are courageous enough to show their faces to

Youth unemployment is a major problem in the United States and has decreased in the past five years. Many teenagers are unable to find jobs, so they cannot gain experience in the workforce.

After reading the articles, "Teens at Work" and "Teens Need Jobs, Not Just Cash" it is overwhelmingly obvious that teens should get jobs. According to "Teens at Work" by Anne Michuad, the national unemployment rate is high for adults, but even higher for teenagers. Adolescents do not have to get jobs, however, these young ones should be able to. Having a job has many benefits. Youngsters should be allowed to obtain employment so they will be able to gain independence, responsibility, and so they can benefit their families.

The conference provides hands-on activities that offer real-world settings for youth, which allow them to try on their adult hats. For instance, one of the workshops titled, Practical Matters- A Reality Fair How-To, assigns participating youth to a career and family where they will have to make decisions regarding housing, food, finances and transportation. The objective of this workshop is to see whether or not the youth can make it all work for a

On the contrary, adolescents’ families may be struggling financially so it may be helpful to have their child be employed. They may use the extra money to pay bills, pay rent or buy food. However, in the long run, having their student drop out of high school is actually a disservice. As their life moves on and they wish to get employed elsewhere, the employer may think they are unmotivated, and have a poor work ethic. Employers will notice they left high school and presume that the adolescent cannot complete something they have already

     When many people apply for an important job, the employer will most likely choose the person who has the most working experience. People who have had a job since their teenage years will know how to deal with the stress and the work better than new people. They will be able to cope with job-related problems. This reason is very significant for teenagers who choose not to go to college, and their only reason for getting employed is experience. Yet, the most important reason is that jobs keep teenagers away from violence.

  Nowadays, students love to have part-time jobs. Their parents approve it easily as they are said to gain experience from working. However, having a job is a big responsibility for a student.
