Recommended: the negative impact of drinking

Are you a teenager who can’t wait to work? When you get older you’re going to wish that you would have waited and would have just enjoyed your childhood until it was time to really get a job like everybody else. Most teenagers can’t wait to get a job.
They can’t wait to get money and show how independent they are. What they didn't know was that having a job could lead to more than any amount of income. Jobs lead to stress and stress leads to abuse. One of the abuses that stress cause from jobs can lead to is alcohol abuse. (Right, “ Adult Alcohol Abuse Standards” July, 4th, 2013)
When you are stressed you’re usually angry because of the problems at your job that you’re unable to solve. To some people alcohol keeps the pain away. It’s a way for them to get away from all of their problems. But when you’re drinking becomes out of control that's when things get messy. Abuse can lead to having PTSD ( Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). PTSD can occur from traumatic events that have happened in someone’s life. Unemployment can also lead to other types of abuse.
When you don't have a job and you've been trying to find one for months your emotions begin to run wild. Some people take it out on their selves or worse on other people. In the 1930s, the Great Depression took a real hit on many people’s lives. Because of WWI, the unemployment rates had risen 25%. People couldn't pay for education, food, and more. It was so bad that many people committed suicide (Sutton, Bettye. “1930-1939’ American Cultural History. Lone Star College-Kingwood Library, 1999. Web. 7 Feb. 2011.).

...lems. Not only can it lead to that but many accidents. Whether it is drinking, terrible outcomes in pregnancy, or more being stressed all the time will cause people to make bad choices and lose their minds.
People struggle with paying bills all the time. Adding work stress can make their situations even worse. Work related stress is something that people have. Its their job to make sure that it does not lead to any of these horrible outcomes.

  • It's Time to Lower the Working Age to 13

    609 Words  | 2 Pages

    Jobs won’t only support teens for the things they want, but it can help benefit for the things they need. The first things teens think of for their future are going to college and getting their first car. But, let’s say there’s a well educated thirteen-year-old, raised in a low-income family, who has plans on going to college. There’s no way their family can support him to go to college, and its funds could be over-whelming. The only way they could go to college is if they started saving at an early age. Therefore, if they got a job at the age they were at now, they’d be on their way to college by the time they graduate high school. Or, another example would be, if a teen wanted to get their first car on their sixteenth birthday. As you may know, many teens don’t get things handed to them on a silver platter, so they’d have to buy that car themselves. They might be old enough to drive, but they just turned the legal working age. Once they get a job, they’d have to wait at least a year to have enough money for the car as well as its insurance.

  • The Value of Work Experience

    392 Words  | 1 Pages

    As one young person was heard to remark, “You can’t get a job without experience, and you can’t get experience without a job.” That dilemma can be overcome, however, by starting work early in life and by accepting simpler jobs that have no minimum age limit and do not require experience. Jobs Teens Can Do Begin early at jobs that may not pay especially well but help to establish a working track record: delivering newspapers, babysitting, mowing lawns, assisting with gardening, and the like. Use these work experiences as springboards for such later jobs as sales clerks, gas station attendant, fast-food worker, lifeguard, playground supervisor assistant, and office staff assistant (after you have developed basic office skills). As you progress through these work exploration experiences, try increasingly to get jobs that have some relationship to your career plans.

Employment can be an exciting challenge for many individuals; it can also be a tremendous source of stress. (Long, Bonita C.) Stress in the work place can cause many individuals harm emotionally and physically. Several reasons for the intense amounts of stress are; too many demands from co-workers, supervisors constantly breathing down your back, elevated noise levels in the work place, lack of knowledge for a particular position, co-workers not upholding their responsibility to help with the task at hand, and favoritism. Lack of promotional opportunities at your place of employment, in spite of the fact that you go that extra mile will contribute to stress.
