What would be a strong academic argument

[in venere veritas]

4. His argument is

that minimum wage hurts teenage employment. He argues that employers do not see teenagers as worth minimum wage so they avoid hiring them as much as possible. It hurts them in the long-run because not landing them that first job(because gaining the experience of being in a work place is crucial to future employment and learning how a work place works) will hurt them in the long run. He further argues that companies will not pay slave wages because they will be unable to attract employees so "the market" will set the wages "fairly." Furthermore, exploitation won't occur because monoply laws prevent companies from working together to control the price of wages so they will compete for workers(which contradicts libertarian philosophy of cutting regulations anyhow).

My issue is I have a very timid type of personality so I'm terrible at debating.
