some people say that money is a best gift to give it to teenagers. some disagree with it. discuss both views and give your opinion?
Giving adolescents
money
as a present has always been a controversial topic. Some people contend that money
is the most suitable gift for kids
, while others subscribe to the view that it is not good giving money
to children. While there are certain drawbacks, I would argue that the benefits are more glaring.
On the one hand, the disadvantages of giving money
to children as a present need to be acknowledged. First
, giving money
will make it less interesting when kids
see the reward. The presents should include a surprise factor as it will make teenagers feel more expected. By just giving money
, they will lose the sense of happiness and excitement. Second
, having cash at a young age will make adolescents underestimate the value of money
, leading to the result that they are willing to splurge money
on expensive items without thinking. That is
the reason why a numerous number of parents in the world, especially in Asia, don't let their offspring have an allowance before 18 years old.
On the other hand
, the advantages pale in comparison with the disadvantages. First
, by giving children money
as a gift, they can buy anything they want with the money
. They will have more choices for them and also
the gifters don't need to think about what to buy. Second
, it would effectively help kids
to learn about money
at a young age, which plays an important role in life. Teenagers can know more about financial management. For example
, many parents in Europe give their offspring an allowance per month.
In conclusion, although
there are a lot of downsides, the upsides pale in comparison with the disadvantages. I predict that money
will be the best gift for teenagers in the future. But parents need to teach their kids
how to save and use money
effectively.Submitted by binhdinhbk on
