Charity & Why teenagers should not & must not be compelled to give.

Is charity a right or a privillege?
That was the question i asked myself today during the collection of funfair coupons. Not that we were forced to buy coupons but it sometimes seems that people go all the way to make life difficult for you if you don't or couldn't help them in their charitable causes. For example, just heard that those who didn't sell their coupons were denied testimonial privilleges and worse, were ridiculed and reprimanded for being heartless & uncharitable. Isn't that giving the hard sell on people who have given charitably during other occasions but just decided not to donate so much this time?
Well, you may say that testimonials and broken egos may be passing doldrums in life, however, is that kind of punishment justified to the individual? All he/she did was to refuse pouring out hard-earned money to a parasitic charity.... Wait, its not even THEIR hard-earned money.... All THEY did was just to refuse to pour out THEIR PARENT'S hard-earned money to a charity.
"What's wrong with that?", some may say. As adolescents, we are entrusted to spend whatever is required from our parents' pockets to gain a proper education, graduate and return the years of favour back to them. In that case, upon whose authority are you allowed to splurge money you never did earn into a charity. Dependants in a family should never be allowed discretion regarding charity. Let those who earn it decide to give if they are willing. After all, they are the ones who toiled for their salary, not you.... That's why i find it ludicrious or rather, totally insidious that charities today prey on the good-will of dependants like teenagers. Young people never truly understand the value of money.
Its just so strange that donating sems so much as a right more than a privillege these days. Words like "selfish" or "ingrate" should never come out of those who seek donations. It just isn't fair if you consider the world in such a manner. We all might as well join a charity & start living off others as well! In such a world of welfare for others, nobody would be left on the side of giving, i assure you...
