    More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the
    evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers
    great advantages.
    One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be
    useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the
    job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able
    to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart
    from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include
    teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their
    later careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as
    adults than people who enter the job market at a later age with no work
    experience.
    Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their
    friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens
    might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When
    teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to
    spend it foolishly.

    A. Why teenagers should work
    B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs
    C. Part-time jobs cause stress
