Some people think that giving money as gift to teenagers is good while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is often a dichotomy in opinion on whether money should be given as a present or not to adolescents. Few feels that it is good while others have contradictory views.

Firstly

, these days teenagers have a different type of choices for gifts,

such

as, digital games and electronic gadgets while older people may not have much knowledge about it.

Therefore

, the adults may purchase simple traditional gifts, which might not be liked by them.

Therefore

, money could be the best option for presenting to the young so that they may buy their preferred products. 

Secondly

, it can be seen that when a person purchases a gift

then

he or she may not check all the features as well as material while buying it and it may be useless for the receiver.

Hence

, money should be given to teenagers,  so that they can buy anything after checking all the pros and cons of the product.

For instance

, when I was in high school, my uncle gifted a watch to me which did not have the modern features like stop watch or world clock and I was not happy with it.

Nevertheless

, gifts are reminders and whenever a person looks at a present

then

he or she remembers the person who presented it and

therefore

Cash as a gift cannot take the place of gifts in kind because people often forget about cash presents.

For example

, I remember my brother whenever I see the sports shoes he gifted for my

first

marathon. In conclusion, according to me, though people give cash as a gift to teenagers but purchasing a product

instead

, will generate more feelings of love and closeness
