Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

It has come to the attention of the modern world, that early teenagers feel should be obliged and embraced with the power to be allowed to work, in other words receive their National Insurance number from the age of fifteen. This issue has been raised, but the question is, should teenagers be allowed to get their National Insurance number from the age of fifteen? And if this does happen, what effect will this have? My piece will be evaluating and concluding why teenagers feel like this and what should be done about it.

According to fifteen year old DAVID TAYO from London who just turned fifteen this September gone by, he wants teenagers to work at 15 years old. On Twitter, he tweeted “I feel I have reached the appropriate age in which I feel I should acquire the key to working. By this age we are all mature and responsible enough” ‘hashtag’ freedom. My point of view is that we adults who are more experienced in knowing how the world out here works, and with this we should set our younger ones on the right path avoiding all conflict. We can see that this is one teenager who is just not satisfied and wants change as soon as possible. The benefits of allowing children to work as such a young age are that it prepares them for the real world, and helps not generate the idea that the world is not easy to survive in. During the past the country have been quick to call children of very young ages to work in dangerous occupations such as ‘chimney cleaners’ or ‘factory workers’, so why not give them the chance to work in safe jobs now where they will be monitored and watched and guided. Fifteen year old DAVID TAYO has mentioned the word “freedom”. The definition of freedom means “the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved” so surely it is bad that a fifteenth year old feels enslaved. Our great country stands and fights against free right that we tackled in all past years, and restricting a child of this stands against this. Now for a fifteen year old to be using this word in something he wants, he is clearly passionate and expressing his feelings.

Soon we will see teenagers rebelling against the government if we do not act against teen requirements. I am fully supporting that teens should be able to get their National Insurance number at the age of 15. At that age, youths are highly responsible and have to do work experience anyway, so why not grant them this great privilege. The earlier a baby starts potty training, the earlier they know how to use a toilet, therefore the earlier a teenager learns the traits of being an adult/young adult, the more responsible they are by the time they hit a certain age.

I am confident you will agree when I say that the youths are the next line up of generation. We do not want our world damaged after all the years of hard work we have put in? We do not want our teenagers to develop hatred? We do not want our own to go against us. We do not want war of some sort? The world we live in currently is complex and complicated, in spite of this we should allow youths to work at 15. This is the prime age in which going violence, life problems, school encounters, so surely working is the way to keep them on the safe path. I can personally tell you that when I was younger there was things I wanted to say that I felt could make a good impact… but I was too scared to say. Is this what we want? Our children living in fear? Our younger ones who WILL be in our position one day to be living in fear?

Comparing all these things, I think that it is correct and safe to say that teenagers should be allowed to get their National Insurance number at the age of fifteen. Modern society has changed and youth has adapted to being part of the adult world from early. So why not reward them with just a bit of freedom, that’s the least they deserve.

Writing to Describe –

The screams of joy from the birds in the distance. The sheer flow of the river in the hub of this paradise land, filling the animals with a sense of happiness. There is no area of perfect tranquillity other than the grass filled path of ‘the apple tree’. Grass crawls up the lead to the Rocky Mountains. Surrounding the Garden of Eden is nothing but beautiful colourful miraculous flowers. Pink, yellow, orange, roses, daffodils, Lilly’s. Enticed by the queer buzzing of insects, a man standing in the middle of the garden takes a deep breath…nothing special but the smell of fresh air is acquired. This man goes by the name of Adam.

Adam is not alone. Walking towards in a quick pace but careful manner, his partner Eve arrives. Dressed nakedly, bright blond gold-like flourishing hair placed gently flowing along as low as the floor, following after like a flock to its master. Hazel eyes with a little spark in the middle like a diamond or star in the sky. On the other hand, Adam more like a boy than adult, hairless with straight black hair, black eyes, as pale as the base of penguins. There couldn’t be any creation more perfect than these of God.

The garden is filled with the sounds of nature’s beauty. All different animals gather to be fed. Elephants, Camels, Turtles, Tigers, Penguins, Zebras, Flamingos, Hyenas, Fish, Parrots, Doves, Swans. As the rainbow shadows brightly over the garden, it gently begins to fade. The time has come for the pair to pray. As they embark on this mystical journey to communicate with God, the entire garden is blessed with a holy presence as everyone, everything, every animal accepts and embraces the Holy Spirit. The feeling that nothing could be more peaceful and spiritual than this is spread around to all the opened hearts.

The next morning, sun blazing, trees blowing and celebrating a new day, the excitement of life itself, Eve has arisen and woken up before Adam. Adam not being able to find Eve in the sheer edges of the garden walks firmly, reluctant to go to the mist of the forbidden tree, where God told them they can’t eat from or certain doom and disaster. Entering the green pasture of where the apple tree stood in complete masculinity, leaves hanging onto the stick branches, connected to the perfect streamline trunk, Adam caught sight of Eve as she was piercing at the Sharpe red curved shape of the apples. “What are you doing here? Father banned us from being here ever!” asked Adam curiously. A fast bullet speed reply came back in an argumentive manner saying “That was a long time ago, Father won’t mind now.” “But…” Eve quickly interrupted. “It’s only an apple; look let me eat it first”.

When Adam saw that there were no instant reactions, he acted thoughtlessly and copied after taking a colossal bite, chewing violently, pieces of apple rapidly shooting out the side of his mouth. Immediately after the bad deed had been done, footsteps of thunder began. Closer it got, closer, closer… It was God. Adam and Eve quietly hid in shame, at the same time noticing that they were both naked. God said “Adam come out! Eve why do you hide?” The two came out in despair and astonishment at how their eyes had been opened. Eve said taking all responsibility “We disobeyed your will Father, we ate from the apple tree you told us not to feast from. The snake told me it was ok and I convinced Adam to take part in my actions”.

God looked at his creation, his children who he had given everything of the earth to, whom he so much loved, in disappointment and said “As a result of this, I have opened your blind naked eyes, and you will be cast out into the open of the world. Also, the whole generation of mankind will be doomed for all eternity.” Not knowing what to do, Adam and Eve walked out into the open of the Earth for the first time, on their own, taking on the responsibility of what was yet to come.
