When extra cash comes their way, most teens would list items they want to buy for themselves like a new car, clothes, electronics, and games rather than think about helping others. While some teens may want to help those less fortunate, most teens tend to prioritize buying things for their own enjoyment over considering the needs of others, just like many adults do.

2. When extra cash comes our way, few people
think about helping others. Ask ten teens what
they'd do if they had a million dollars and you'll
most likely hear a laundry list of items they want
to buy: a powder blue Dodge Charger, a new
wardrobe of designer clothes, an iPod touch
loaded with a billion favorite songs, an Xbox and
every game ever made. They want stuff. Some
kids actually do want to help those who are
less fortunate.

Generic! It’s
too vague.

rather cater to their own personal desires than
look to the needs to others.
Better!
