Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their free time. This can benefit teenagers and the community as well. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some may argue that unpaid
work
 for teenagers should be mandatory. I personally concur that working
teens
 may have positive impacts on society and
teens
 themselves, I do not agree with those who think it has to be an obligation. Teenagers can benefit from a number of advantages while working in their spare time. To start with, having a job has a great role in developing a sense of responsibility.

For example
, jobs like cashier and delivering packages which naturally do not have high wages and great scope of prosperity, usually are done by part-timers who are mostly teenagers. Having said that, obligatory
work
 for anyone including
teens
 is not just. The right to choose to have a job or not is a fundamental human right and no

 should waver that. More importantly, nowadays child labour is a prominent issue in some nations. So governments have to put some effort to tackle it not

make it a common act. To sum up, working

 are advantageous for both themselves and society, should they do it willingly and not by force. I believe people under eighteen are still counted as children, so making them
work
 involuntarily is a form of child labour which should be banned not encouraged.
