Most participants did not experience hardships towards financial needs as they have gotten some

help from their family and significant others, which is great since they did not have to go out and

risk their safety outside as there is a pandemic. While some of the participants have no choice but

to go and work or find ways to earn an income even if there is something that can threaten their

safety, money is significant nowadays because of the virus COVID 19 and because the

participants now have a responsibility towards their family. Financial problems are expected

during the COVID 19 pandemic as most people have no job and no pay, and it is especially hard

for teenagers as they are still young. Most jobs hire high school or college graduates, so for the

participants to have their families to help them is fortunate.
