Some people think that money is the best gift for teenagers. Others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

We can often hear from friends 'Why did you give him it? It would be better for you to
gift
him
money
instead
of
this
useless thing'. Based on
this
I think we can split all the people into two parts. The ones who believe that
money
is the best option. And the ones who think that the personal
gift
is more convenient as a
gift
. Let's try to justify each side of the question. Why

could be more useful for anyone, including teenagers? We can
