A school of though holds that parents have to motivate their teenagers to get a part-time job. I partly agree with this view because although working part-time helps develop life skills, it can negatively effect their studies.
On the one hand, getting a part-time job can help youngers develop their practical skills. Firstly, they learn how to earn their own income money and can predict the amount of money they receive every, moreover, enable them to reduce their dependence on their families and become more financially independent. Secondly, teenagers have an enssential life skills, such as communication, and teamwork skills by interacting with customers. For example, part-time employment in tourist area restaurants allows young people to enhance their communication with international visitors and improve their problem-solving abilities.
On the other hand, working part-time may negatively effect teenagers’ academic performance. This leads to imbalance between study and work time, like having less time to learn, doing homework, or preparing for lesson, creating a sense of tiredness and lose their concentration in class. Furthermore, extreme working hours often force youngers to skip school and miss exams, and also dismiss them chances to engage in club activities and expand their relationships. For instance, a teenager who works until late in the evening may not have enough energy to complete assignments or study effectively the next day.
Inconclusion, i partly concur with the idea of parrents ought to encourage their teenagers to getting a working part-time to gain a useful life skills. However, there are some drawbacks that affect their learning and health.
