Stay tuned for more such excerpts from other discussions. So you see, we are bringing up a generation that knows right from wrong, guidance from pushovers and care from dominance. Once we become adults, yes we can make our own choices, but as a teen it’s best to connect with and confide in parents while spending pocket money. There is nothing wrong is seeking validation for our expenses from our parents. Teen D – This is also an age when we can be influenced by our peers. If we are not under parental guidance, we might end up using our money for the wrong things and then there might be no way out of it. Maybe not for everything, but keeping parents in the loop while spending on something, is needed. We might end up picking the wrong path and I believe parental guidance is needed. Especially when we are talking about small expenses! Also, if we do end up making a mistake, I think we are mature enough to take responsibility for the same. So I believe that parental guidance is not really required here. Our parents are giving us an allowance or pocket money with the understanding that we can make the right choice. Teen B – By 15 we are mature to realize right from wrong. We are still young and not capable enough to know what’s right from wrong, and hence, having them guide us when we spend on something is natural. This is their money and they have given it to us believing that we will use it wisely. Teen A – Pocket money with parental guidance on how to spend it is important.
