Teenagers and Money - Teenagers spend it irresponsibly. - They can become spoiled. - They can become greedy and ask for more pocket money. - They spend their pocket money on useless and harmful things. Are there other disadvantages? Does giving teenagers pocket money have advantages? If yes, what are the advantages? I'm going to write a paragraph about the advantages and disadvanyages of pocket money. So I need some arguments that I can use to write my essay. I just want you to give me some ideas that will help me write a paragtaph about the topic. I'll be so grateful if you correct the mistakes that I make. Thank you :)

Is this your homework? Here's an essay: the advantages and disadvantages of pocket money ... www.testbig.com/...essays/ielts-essay-advantages-and-disadvantages-

Here is an advantage: Teenagers desire individuality -- they don't want to be dependent on their parents. For them to develop, they need to break some of the bonds between parent and child. If they earn pocket money, they can use that money to enrich their lives and learn to be individuals. I think you could build more off of this logic, too.
