Nowadays money matters are becoming more and more crucial. Money is needed not only by adults but also teenagers. The growing number of parents are worried about this problem. Some people think that school students should be given pocket money, whereas others are convinced that they can do well without it.

Personally, I am convinced that young people need to learn how to handle money from an early age. Firstly, having finances will help the child if he is in a difficult situation. Secondly, pocket money gives the teenager a sense of comfort. And thirdly, pocket money allows young people to learn how to handle money, this is a valuable skill that will be useful in future life. Own money, even the smallest, allows a teenager to buy what he really wants. However, some people believe that pocket money can spoil a teenager since he will spend it only for his own pleasure.

Taking all these points into consideration, I strongly believe that having allowance is very important for teenagers but the amount of money given must be rational, so that you develop responsibility in your children but not carelessness. The leading role belongs only to parents, who ought to educate their kids properly in dealing with every single issue.
