Question

Do young men need to give a tithe from the money they receive from their parents or from money they earned on various occasions?

Answer

A young man should set aside a tithe from his money just like an adult. However, if he has no money left after using it for his basic needs, he is exempt (similarly, an adult is exempt if he has no money left for his basic needs and lives at the most minimal basic level).
