Would you take advice from a teenager about your credit card bills? Many people would answer this question with a big fat no because they would think that a teenager would have no knowledge whatsoever about credit card bills. However being a 16 year old teenager i would have to disagree with that statement. Just because teenagers are young doesn't mean that we do not have the knowledge about what to do about credit card bills. I for one know a lot about credit card bills because i always help my mom with hers and sometimes i even do them for her. Many parents would argue and say that all teenagers have on their mind is sex, drugs, alcohol and school. However that right there is an overgeneralization and is a fallacy. Just because most teenagers are like that and only think about those four things doesn't mean that all of the teenagers think like that. I would say that we teens have a lot to offer not only to our parents but to the whole city when it comes to bills and money because the way things look right now the city and state need help and new ideas about how to save money. There is one big reason why this does not happen and that is because we do not have enough ethos as teenagers because almost all the adults have this stereotype on all the teenagers and that stereotype limits not only what we are capable of but it limits the growth of the teenagers into adults.
