how exactly are we teenagers easy off can i ask? we have to go jobhunting and we aint even adults. we have to pay our parents back if we borrow alot of money,
and how can i ask are we supposed to be able to pay them off if we have no job?!
the problem today is that because we are younger than most other employess, this doesnt mean that we are totally stupid. in fact i happen to think that we may be a tad smarter than other employees as the educational system is better now than it was wen they were at school.
so i am asking
why cant we get jobs?
love you all

A lot of shops only employ you once you are 18 because of what you are handling (ie, videos), it's illegal for them to employ you in many cases.
I've only just got a job at Marks & Spencer and I can definately say that it's worth the wait to get a job. Young workers are also more likely to get exploited, which is probably another reason for the law.
