Do you think young teens should be able to make money online? email this discussion to a friend?

I was discussing this with my friend earlier today.

Personally, as long as it doesn't interfere with a teenager's life, I don't see anything wrong with earning a little extra money online. In fact, I think it could be a good opportunity for some extra allowance. Of course, parents should set boundaries and limits but as a whole, I think PTCs and surveys for teens are alright.

There have also been stories of young teens making a lot of money on the internet through their ideas. Some are in fact millionaires now because of their success.

So, what do you think about this subject matter? Should young teens be able to make money online?

Hi rg0205!

I agree with you. I think as long as they are on sites that have proven to be safe and not scams, then by all means--it's a good way to earn a little cash. It is important for the parents to have oversight, no matter what their children are doing online.


myLot reputation of 94/100. rg0205 (1726)   ranked 99 out of 27,330 in make extra money  3 weeks ago

Yes, exactly! I couldn't agree more.

Hi. This is an intersting discussion for me since I'm a teenager too and i'm here at myLot, making my money online.

I think as long as I can cope up with the college assignments and the other activities I'm supposed to do as a teenager, I should be able to make money online in my spare time. I signed up to ptc sites that take only few minutes each day to earn money, which might not be that time consuming compared to spending a lot of time on facebook.

I also have and maintain a blog that I write when I have the time. I earn money from it as well. So I don't think there's any age limitation for people to start earning online.

It's nice that you put effort into what you do online so you can make extra money. A lot of teens just rely on their parents and hang out with friends and not look for alternatives. Your parents must be very proud of you. Kudos to you:-) I hope you find success in your online endeavors.

Yes I think young teens should be able to make money on the net. If they have a great idea for making money, parents should not hold them back. But education/homework is important too. I have a daughter who complains about not having enough money and how it's hard to find a job when she has to pay for a babysitter for watching the 4 kids. I'm tried to tell her about making money on the web, sites to go to, and how she can make use of here skills and talents, but she won't listen, so go figure. But yeah if kids want to make money on the web, let them, at least you know where they are at and what they are doing. And who knows, maybe the young teens can teach the parents a thing or two about making money on the web.


myLot reputation of 94/100. rg0205 (1726)   ranked 99 out of 27,330 in make extra money  3 weeks ago

I agree with you. My thoughts exactly.

I also think that kids these days spend so much time online. Why not do something useful, right?

Come to think of it, even my 8 year old niece uses the internet to "email" her typed homework to her teacher. She knows how to surf the net and play games and stuff.

If they can make money on the web, why not:-) thanks for your insight.

yes I think it's alright for teens, to make money online, and then they will have their own money, and they will learn how to manage their money, and if they save their money up, yes they can become a millionaire,this will teach young people, how to handle money and they, won't have to depend on their parents, for money, because they will have their own money. happythumbup

Hi! I think if it doesn't intefere with schoolwork, that teenagers should be able to make some extra money online. But one thing all parents need to remember other than the online safety issues, is that most of the time even if it is a teenager and they make a certain amount of money in a year taxes have to be paid. I think it would be great for teenagers to be able to make themselves a little extra from working online.

As long as I can pass my exams with good marks, i don't find any harm in trying to make money online. But the only disadvantage i could find is that I spent a lot of time with internet because of this but I could control it if I want, so there's no problem with that too.. So in my opinion, its good to earn some extra bux online as long as it doesn't affect your studies or you get addicted to it.


myLot reputation of 94/100. rg0205 (1726)   ranked 99 out of 27,330 in make extra money  3 weeks ago

That's true. Thanks for your input.

I totally agree with you, young teens should be able to make money online. As the matter of fact, I started earning money online (or perhaps it's more accurate to say 'attempting earning money online') 3 years ago when I was 15.


myLot reputation of 94/100. rg0205 (1726)   ranked 99 out of 27,330 in make extra money  3 weeks ago

wow! I'm 23 and I only started few months ago. You're way ahead than I am:-)

I don't think it would be a problem. But like you said as long as it doesnt interfere with their lives. Like school, and stuff like that, why not?


myLot reputation of 94/100. rg0205 (1726)   ranked 99 out of 27,330 in make extra money  3 weeks ago

Precisely. Thanks and happy mylotting
