Children have certain needs and when they grow to teenagers, they are deserving to be given pocket money to meet the needs that they can't ask their parents.

How much should a parent ideally give a teenager as pocket money?

I think that a teenager can make do with $15 every month as a male. A female might need as much as $20.

That depends on the cost of living in different countries. Here, a teenager who is studying at high school should have at least $12 for lunch and snacks.

With the rising cost of living, a child requires $3 to $4 per day to cover their daily expenses. The amount may be higher, especially if the child needs two meals daily. During my college years, I received an allowance of $30 per week.

I never got any pocket money as a kid I wish I did because then I would be able to save

When the the parents lives with the teenagers they should give them at least $5 in a single day for the pocket money.

$5 everyday for a teenager as pocket money? That's over $100 every month. Trying to do that would end up spoiling such a teenager.

I think it should depend on the economy of the country where they are. Let's take Nigeria for example a few thousand naira should be enough for the teenager for the week. This is because the price of everything has increased.
