Ok, I've now become so unhappy in my job that I cant stay any more, and am quitting without another job.
But my dad has told me he wont give me any money, despite the fact that I'm a full time student and only 17, therefore its not compulsory for me to have a job.Am i still entitled to get money off him if i dont have a job? Our family isnt hard up or anything, he just doesnt want to have to pay for me.
Any help appreciated!

I've been working since i was 15, not because we are hard up or anything, but because I like the idea of earning my own money and working hard to get the things I want. I dont wanna sound cruel but I'd crack up if I gave up my job and had to live off hand outs. its about dignity girl.
Im only 18 at the mo, but Id never expect my parents to support me if I gave up work. Obviously I cut back my hrs coming up to exams etc but i manage to survive on the dosh ive saved. Im a full time student too.
How bout getting a new job, even just on saturdays? Then when u get holidays from school/college you can increase your hrs?
If you are short on cash you should consider getting another job, but also talk to your tutor at college... there are often hardship loans and grants for hard up college students, and if you don't ask, you don't get! (however seeing as you are living at home, and no doubt being fed etc by your parents, you won't be a priority and probably will only be offered money to help pay for books/ transport to and from college).
(ps - obviously you can't sign on if you are in full time education)

You can't sign on when you are 17 either!
Your parents have no obligation to support you so if I were you I would stick with the job!
Actually in special circumstances you can, but they do not apply here ...
