Children are the backbone of every country.So, there are people who tend to believe that youngsters should be encouraged to initiate social work as it will result in a flourished society and individualistic growth of youngsters themselves. I, too believe that this motivation has more benefits than its drawbacks.
To begin with, social work by children can be easily associated with personality development because, during this drive, they tend to communicate with a variety of people, which leads to polished verbal skills. For example, if they start convincing rural people to send their children to school they have to have such a convincing attitude along with developed verbal skills to deal with diverse kinds of people there. This improved skill will help them lifelong in every arena. Apart from this, the true values of life like tolerance, patience, team spirit, and cooperation can be learnt. Besides that, young minds serve the country with full enthusiasm which gives them a feeling of fulfilment and self-satisfaction. This worthiness for themselves brims them with self-confidence and patriotic feeling. Moreover, going and experiencing multiple cultures and traditions make their horizon so broad that add one more feather to their cap.
However, It is truly said, no rose without thrones. Can the drawbacks of this initiation be ignored? Children go to school, participate in different curriculum activities, and endure the pressure of peers, parents, and teachers and in a competitive world they should not be expected to serve society without their self benefits. This kind of pressure might bring resentment in their mind.
In conclusion, I believe, the notion of teenagers doing unpaid work is indeed good but proper monitoring and care should be given to avoid untoward consequences.
