Is it important to work hard from an early age? (12-13 years old)

Some people think that hard work early on leads to good habits later, which is great for when you come to important exams. However, it could be said that you just burn out from working hard on supposedly 'pointless' exams. What do you think?

Yes I think it is important to work hard at a early age because the kids will learn how to do various things when they are older. Some times jobs require to sweep the area or you need to load the dishwasher The kids will also learn how to do the specific thing later when they live in there own home or live by themselves.

I still help around the house to help my mom and dad out. My 3 younger brothers do the same. My mom and dad worked hard when they were 12-13 years old. It can also be a big help to your parents.

Yes because every little bit of effort counts and it will get you far in the long run. Especially in high school when you're applying for colleges.

Of course not! The phrase work hard by itself contridicts with its goal. Things that are truly rewarding should always be easy. Things that are hard are: grinding fingers off, stabbing self, breaking favourite lego toys, telling your friends to touch you down there.

To say work hard pays off is words of a suicidal person! TRUTH!

Side: No

It's important to work intelligently. For example, exams that do not matter in the long run, as long as you know about the subject enough to do well in the next year, do not matter. But, exams that you need to get into a school, or to get into uni, they obviously matter.

For example, when I was 12, I was moved to an American school. I planned, and still do, to go to an English uni, so the work didn't matter. I stayed on top of the subjects, and stayed curious about learning, but didn't work too hard. Now, I'm back in the English system, sitting exams that I need to get into uni, and I'm working hard, and doing well.

It's important to work hard when it's necessary, if that's at 13, or at 16, or at 18.

Side: No
