> I'm not sure why teenagers need to do anything other than learning about the world and going to school

Some teenagers don't have what to eat.

And they shouldn't need to worry about that. Neither should others, honestly.

I mean, realistically I know that some folks don't have real choices, and that includes whether or not they get to concentrate on school or whether they need to work - but it doesn't have to be that way so often.

And many teenagers have hobbies or interests that aren't free.
