Abstract
This study surveyed the behaviors of current high school students as consumers, with a view to pursuing effective ways to educate them as clever future consumers. Based on the study, we have come to the following conclusions.First, the lending and borrowing of money between students has a strong influence on their management of money. Therefore, it is necessary to enable them to learn appropriate ways of avoiding difficulty through specific examples.Second, students mainly purchase goods available in stores. However, the number of students who buy goods on the Internet is increasing. Considering the fact that their sources of information are diversified, it is important to provide them with basic knowledge as consumers so that they can behave as well- informed consumers.
