It is often argued by some people that a demand of having a gap after graduating high school gradually increases. Having a year gap are helpful for some people, but there will be some drawbacks.
There is one evident advantage of getting a gap year before entering university. Many people are only focus on the study and exams in the high school period, resulting in deficiency of time to take care themselves. It is highly important that not only thinking about their future job and career, but also knowing themselves such as the things that makes them happy or angry and pros and cons of their personality. In this point of view, a year off after finishing high school can make time to take a rest and to do a lot of new activities, therefore, this term will be valuable time for students in their life.
On the other hand, there is some negative points to making a gap between graduation of high school and entrance of university. The young people in the late 10s and early 20s age do not know the ways to make their world wider and protect themselves safely. They were students in the school who protected by their parents, school and their teacher. Many of mature adults can help them immediately. However, in the society, there is no safe zone for the young people. Young age people are hard to distinguish the dangerous things, such as, skim and criminals.
To conclude, taking a year gap before the university entrance can be beneficial time to the student to know themselves, but it also can make people in danger without any guideline or education for protecting themselves
