First
of all,
shopping complex
Suggestion
the shopping complex
is where most people go to shop necessary item and goods for the necessity needs and at the same

. For
this
reason, the children tend to enjoy spending their leisure
time
at
Suggestion
in
there rather than in the outdoors. Despites of that, the teenagers use their parent’s money to enjoy themselves as going to these places requires extra cash to pay for the expenditures.
Therefore

this
leads to overspending their money on things that are unnecessary to them. Eventually, they will be more obsessed
