As a teen who works and has numerous friends who all work part-time jobs with school / full time during summer, I disagree with your generalization.

You must meet very different teenagers than I do. Every store that has trash work to do here (for which they want to pay as little as possible) has teenagers working for them. The service industry employs them where they can get away with it too.

Adults always seems to believe teens don't work like they did.

Those adults are almost always wrong - although not necessarily in the obvious ways. A small minority of teens run successful YT/Instagram/WA/Etsy channels, and some of them make surprisingly good money from them.

Oh no it wasn't a debate I was just trying to help you understand the words you used wrong. Now you can use them correctly in the future!
