why do teenagers get jobs to becoe more responsible?

Chris Loehr

In North America, there are about 1.5 million jobless teenagers. Some people think teenagers get jobs because they have nothing to do, but the real reason is because they are becoming more responsible.

Other teens may get jobs in order to look like they are more responsible. For instance, they might have to pay for their car insurance in order to have a car. They might have to receive a car by themselves because their parents think they should be more wise for them to succeed in life. They might become more responsible, also if they are saving up for a collage fund up, so teenagers get jobs. Also, kids might just want to get money for whatever they want to spend it on just so they know they have money. Teenagers might want to start being an adult so they can see what its like in life. Since they will know what its like, they can prepare themselves for a regular life. This could be a possibility, but kids might want to get jobs just to make lots of money and be rich over time.

Teenagers have careers mainly because they want to be more responsible. They become more of an adult by having a car and to pay for it. If their parents will not pay for their car, they wouldn't have anywhere to go in life, so that makes them more responsible by having someplace to go. Another reason would be having to pay for their cell phone and clothes. The kids that buy their own clothes, should be mature on what kind of clothes they do buy with their money. Cell phone bills result in problems sometimes. They have to pay for it, because if they want to start becoming an adult, they have to see what bills are like.

This is why teenagers should have jobs in my opinion, based on the reasons that were listed. These topics are so important because it shows teens that they need to become more responsible and not be immature. Teenagers need to prepare in life, because it will hit them if they don't prepare. They become more of a regular person by doing the things that relate to being more of an adult by getting a job and paying for bills and daily essentials.
