Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenagers and society as a whole. Do you agree or disagree?

Young individuals working on a volunteer basis is thought to benefit both themselves and the

community

as a whole.

Although

I strongly approve of the former statement, I disagree that every teenager should be forced to do unpaid

work

. Most young volunteers can benefit from doing

community

work

without pay in their spare

time

, as

this

work

can help them take control of their free

time

and do exercise after strenuous hours of studying.

Teenagers

can utilize the

time

to make improvement to their society as well as relax by doing physical

work

,

instead

of just staying at home watching TV or playing video games.

Moreover

, the local

community

can take advantage of the free labour force and use the wage budget for better purposes,

for example

, equipping new facilities for the area.

However

, I believe it is up to the

teenagers

themselves to decide what to do in their leisure

time

, without any enforcement from adults. Despite the clear benefit of

this

arrangement, doing

this

would likely cause resentment among

teenagers

as they would feel they are being used. From a moral perspective, other people have no rights to obligate and use teenager’s

time

and effort against their will and consent, and no one should be compelled to do volunteer

work

. It would be more meaningful if

teenagers

are willing to take up the

work

, not by anyone’s telling them to do. In conclusion,

teenagers

may choose to

work

for free and help others in their

community

, but in my opinion, we should not make

this

compulsory.
