The article “Teenagers’ work can have downsides” by Jerald Bachman concerns the topic of the high school students' work. The author wants to find the answer whether working during the high school benefits students or not. He claims that teenager's work might impose negative impact on students. However, considering appropriate amount of working hours might be a solution.
The article points out a strong idea that work during the school might result in negative behavioral tendencies among the students. While some research provides evidence of the negative impact in terms of substances use, I cannot agree with that. Even the students who are not working might be engaged in those activities. Moreover, some of the students who work do not smoke
Next, teenagers are constantly running here and there, trying to keep up with their schedules. From school, church activities, work, sports, friends, family, and any other sort of time consuming plans, they’re exhausted. A study done in 2014 showed that over 22% of high school students work a part-time job. They’ve also seen that working more than 15-20 hours per week, can affect their academic performance. Plus teenagers

According to National Institute of Drug Abuse, students who smoke marijuana tend to get lower grades and are more likely to drop out of high school. In United State the teenager start work since of age fifteen in some place, but several studies have linked workers' marijuana smoking with increased absences, tardiness, accidents, and job turnover. ("What is marijuana? | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)", 2012).
The world is divided with different views in terms of young peoples’ involvement to activities or jobs that provide them payments in return. A part of the society believes that this is beneficial this youngsters in preparation to adulthood. In contrast, I fall for the idea that children should not get associated with a sort of salaried jobs.
Many students including myself work for local businesses in the summer. Us students make up a large amount of these businesses employes. Without high schoolers working the business owners can not make a profit, which essentially causes them to lose money and possibly go bankrupt. High school students being summer workers is not the only
Students smoke because they wanted to take risks, are looking for something to calm nerves, relieve anxiety and to be social according to
In high school, students are at the age where their priorities are all about them and their whole world involves them, themselves and maybe friends. To say the least, their priorities are not well established or correct if they have any. When the student gets a part-time job, like at a fast food restaurant it helps put their priorities straight. The students start to realize in order to make the money they need to pay for what they want, they need to make time adjustment and make real priorities. Students will learn that in order to have this job they will need to work during the weekends since school during the weekday. Working they will
Students in highschool know a days seem to be being employed more frequently. However I don’t agree with the employment of young teens. Although some may disagree jobs take time that teens should be spending on their education. If kids are too busy worrying on who can cover their shift instead of studying for that big test coming up. They will fail in school. Teens with jobs would worry more on making money believe it or not. They also have a higher rate in doing illegal things like drugs, cigarette use and maybe behavior problems.
To begin, in today’s society American teens are going to school energized and are eager to learn usually in the beginning of the school year. Although, over time some teen's performance plummet in which some are said to be exhausted from being overworked, but others say differently. However, two different articles have gone in depth with the concept of kids and young teenagers being overstressed and exhausted from due to overwork. One of the article is from Frank Bruni titled “Today’s Exhausted Superkids” where he collaborated on teenagers to be overstressed and exhausted from school courses. Yet, he had focused on wealthy/ privileged families. On the other hand, Robert Pondiscio has written an article called “The Myth of the Overstressed American Teen” where Pondiscio argument is that Bruni’s claims are false and Pondiscio provides
In the article Teenagers’ Work Can Have Downsides”by Jerald G Bachman describe how teens who are in high school that have jobs developed poor academic performances “ they're more likely to be involved in a variety of problems ” Jerald began the “Monitoring the Future “ project that monitored teens in high school and from college who had jobs and discovered a drop in the high school teens academics and made connections between long hours and problems behaviors are symptoms of issue like poor adjustments to school and greater interest in short term gratification .They encouraged for student to follow what they call a sweet spot a job that requires relatively few hours per week during the school year fewer hours the better.Student that have
Amitai Etzioni argues in his article, “Working at McDonald’s”, fast-food restaurants just as McDonald’s, are not beneficial for teenagers in the long room. They don’t learn the correct skills that they have to in order to achieve in life. Such as skills like “self-reliant, work-ethics-drive, be productive teenagers" or have opportunities for entrepreneurship. The jobs that they are being hired at only consist of a twenty minutes or less training to get the job done. Besides the fact that they are not learning any useful skill, the jobs are taking over their school work. Which causes some teenagers to drop out of school instead. They prefer making money than sitting in a classroom learning about a subject they are not interested in.
Jobs are very time-consuming. If a teenager works and goes to school, he will probably not have time to join a gang or get into fights. Nowadays more and more employees are getting drug-tested at their jobs. If a teenager likes his job or needs to work, he will not do drugs because he will get fired. Furthermore, if a teenager receives a paycheck he will spend his earned money instead of stealing. A job can lead a teenager to a better lifestyle and a healthier life.
Students spend four years of their lives attending high school. Going through high school is mandatory as it prepares them for college and strength to face “the real world.” Having part-time jobs has become the phenomenon among high school students and many students follow this trend as well. Moreover, there are some pros and cons attached with it. Though it may seem like working throughout high school is a bad idea, it could better prepare students for “the real world.” Although some people believe that the primary duty of a student is studying, I am of the opposite position. I strongly support the idea that high school students should work throughout high school. This is because they can earn money, become responsible and get
Etaionis refers to that teenagers do not have self-control, I also consider the view is true because they do not have mature mental and do not know how to deal with the time between working and studying, they would fit for part time job. If they could not rational manage time, they should not take the job. For instance, when teenagers work for long time and earn more money, they could go to relax after working, and thus forget their assignments. So, if teenagers lack self-control, they should not take part-time jobs because if the time becomes longer, they could not satisfy requirement of
Nowadays, students love to have part-time jobs. Their parents approve it easily as they are said to gain experience from working. However, having a job is a big responsibility for a student. Before, teenagers at their age were working to help their family because of poverty. Nevertheless, they were actually eager to study and learn at school for their future. It was not the same as the teenagers nowadays where they are more likely competing to each other to have a job. Most of the
According to Steinberg (2016), working while attending school could be a negative step for adolescents. He explains that research has found that when students work long hours, their grades are affected and students tend to be absent from school. He also states that work is a factor for adolescents to become aggressive, and to get in trouble with the law (Steinberg, (2016). However, it seems that this is not LeAlan’s case; he has been able to manage work and school. Jones et al. (1997) explain that his mother confirmed that being a reporter has helped her son grow; they state that she even explain that it has help him to do better “academically” (p. 179). In addition, Jones et al. (1997) explain that LeAlan at the age of seventeen takes trips to different parts of the country to give out speeches, but then he returns during school time and he is
