In recent years, parents have tried to look for the most suitable activity for their
teenagers
Use synonyms
. Some parents force their teen-aged children to do voluntary work in their free
time
Use synonyms
 while others think it would not be a good idea. Personally, I totally disagree with
this

 opinion because of several reasons.
Firstly
Linking Words
,
teenagers
Use synonyms
 should be allowed to spend free
time
Use synonyms
 on
their

 activities in which they are interested. In general, unpaid community
services

 consist of only cleaning public places, teaching children or planting.
Although

 these works could benefit the communities, most juveniles do not get

Therefore

In addition

 between the ages of 12 and 18 years old. In many cases, due to high competition, students of

 age have to spend a lot of

 and effort to attend famous high schools or universities. In some cases,
teenagers

 who have financial problems must do a part-

As a result
Linking Words
, their free

 is less than what
people

 expect and these young
people

 should take a rest in their free

instead

 of joining public

. In conclusion, from my perspective, unpaid voluntary
services
Use synonyms
 should not be required for juveniles because they should spend
time

 on what they like and there is less free

 for them.
