The ones I usually take are to young for allowance but here is how we would handle it.

Basic wardrobe, hygenie supplys, some accessories all supplied. My parents when we were teens gave us a certain allotment at back to school time and summer to buy clothes, supplys etc. We were in charge of what we bought with the money. I bought fewer new clothes and accesories and my sister bought more clothes at the thrift store and other items. I feel that teaches personal responsibility in your spending habits.

Allowance 30-40 a month and that would buy anything you wanted that wasn't "needed" i.e. new clothes when you don't need them, movies with your friends, fast food if not a family dinner, video or computer games etc.
