Nowadays, middle school students tend to be very free with their pocket money, which has become a difficult problem to solve for schools.

Generally, parents give their children some money every month as their living expenses. However, some students spend less on regular meals and everyday goods to save their pocket money with which they buy snacks, MP4 players, fashionable clothes and so on. What's worse, they spend it on playing computer games or surfing the Internet. Therefore, they don't know how hard it is to earn money. In addition, they are so young that they may learn to worship those with lots of pocket money blindly and fall into the bad habit.

In order to help the students, we should call on parents monitoring the pocket money. The school should take proper measures to educate the students and make them build up the good value of consuming.
