Letter+to+Mr.+Brown


 * Dear Mr. Brown,

This is coming from Ms.Enoksen’s period 3 class. Our Generation Project is about “teenage jobs”. Most teens are most likely to work at McDonalds, babysitting, and be a paperboy/girl, which normally pays minimum wage, these jobs aren’t enough to pay our intuition. A strong point where we believe teens should have jobs is because it gives us more common knowledge of the working experiences for the future. Most people believe teens, about 13 – 15 years old, are most likely immature, this is 70% false. Teens are the future, they still need time to hit the phase of common knowledge. Most people wouldn’t hire teens because of stereotypes such as ..


 * Immature
 * No experience
 * Being destructive

Teens at the ages of 16 - 19 years old have difficulty finding jobs whether or not they're graduated from high school. Grades shouldn't be a based on whether or not they should be hired. It should be based on how hard they work. There are alot of ways for us (teens) to find jobs such as opening up a news paper, websites, and etc. Although, most teens would rather work where they would know the place, inside and out. Like, the Malden High School. We've heard that you hire people during the summer, that's good but what about the people that aren't able to. I know it's not your problem as of whether or not a teen gets hired or fired. We've also heard the announcement on April 23, 2012 where job applications for teens are available but most of them are 16+ but freshmans and sophmores should be able to get a job, since they're preparing for college as well since they need money. We want teens to have a better future. The class of 2015 "Where is your THERE?" our 'there' is anonymous and to find what specifically that is needed to prepare us is to get experiences for work and to have jobs at younger ages for better experiences.

If possible we would like to meet up with you sometime or you could come in to our class to talk to us about "Teenage Jobs". Please write back when you get the chance. Thank you.

Sincerly, Ms. Enoksen's Period 3
