Libby you say how we shouldn't be able to have real jobs... i understand the tax part, but our parents can help us with that... i first signed this petition when i was 12, i will be 14 next year and i am very mature for my age. i have always been in accelerated classes and i never fall behind on my school work. People say us young children will be bored and can't accept that responsibility. Well sitting behind the counter at McDonalds Isn't Like a wall street job but it would keep us out of trouble. Not all of us are blind to the real world. alot of us know what is going on in the world and we understand it. so please don't label us as if we are all the same. LET 12 YEAR OLDS GET JOBS.!!!!
