Abstract:
With the current trends in social media through peers' interaction and young popular influencers, youth especially adolescent is easily influenced as they are mentally and emotionally immature. Thus, the study seeks answers to why an increasing number of Filipino adolescents earn at a young age. It is hypothesized that adolescents tend to engage in income-generating activity at a young age is the need to keep up with the trends as they see them. Guided by the Social Impact theory, the study explored the intensity, immediacy, and sources of influence on generating income among six (6) purposively selected Filipino adolescents. This study concluded that the youth engage in income-generating activities due to the need to keep up with the current trends and other mainstream trends as they perceive it with their friends through social media platforms and that their parents are the reason they know how to earn.
