I think it so unfair that you have to14 to get a job. Because I’m 12 and next year I’m going to be in high school and I’m still will be just going to be 13, all of my friends will have jobs and extra money and I want. Just like I’m going to have to wait until my senior year to drive, but I can understand the driving. Since I’m a girl I like to shop I wouldn’t say I would go and blow all my money on clothes, but it’s good to have something extra. But I really want a job so I could start saying for college, I know I’m going to go, but most kids don’t. Getting a job really helps you to become more independent, hello you have to be independent in the really world. It’s like people preparing for Christmas earlier and earlier in the year, pre-teens need to start preparing for the real world earlier and earlier in life. But I know a lot of kids who just want to free-load off their parents; it’s not fair to anybody if there’re living off you and not paying you back, with something. Some kids do by having good behavior or making good grades, or just cleaning up the house for them. But me personally I want to by my mom a house and a car, before she turns 50, I don’t want my mother to have to lift a finger. Well that’s really how I feel about the subject, hope I don’t have to wait 2 year just for a summer job.
Ouais , c'est vrai ! J'suis Canadienne ,puis je trouve ça dommage que je ne puisse pas avoir un vrai salaire !I hate children , and to work outside in winter ! uh ! for what 4 $ hour ? (babysit) ! I work for free in a shop , to get experience to put on my C.V when I'll be 16 (I'm 14 ) ... It's long to wait when you have things to buy ...
12 yearold dudes should its wehn they start to mature and all im 12. and we have ntoheing to do. mowing lwns and stuff is older ppl stuff. beside they always havew aldults to do that. Kids should have jobs in astore to clean up, something simple and not wait untill you are 13 so we can learn how to make moeny for thew future.-7th grader c j
sorry but i dont support this. YOU PEOPLE ARE 12 YEARS OLD, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE WORKING, YOU SHOULD ENJOY LIFE, AND LET YOUR PARENTS GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT. dont be whining to others, that you want a job. I mean im 16 and i started working at the age of 15. It is great that you people want to work so young. But rightnow older people need the jobs. I mean what would you buy? toys?...
i think it is stupid that you have to be 14 to start a job im 12 and want to earn some money but cant think of any ways that i can do it but if i could do a proper job with proper hours then it would be life changing!!
Darn right! I want to start a band, and I can't do that being flat borke! I wanna obtain some money, but nooo, I'm to young! WELL WHOS SAYING WE'RE TO YOUNG. 12 and up have capabilities none can understand, I'm sure! Thank you for making this petition, your changing peoples lives doing this. Your going to chage living substances period!
yo, all yo older people who think we 12 yr. olds shouldnt get jobs r wong. many of us r responsible. some of us need stuff our 'rents cant afford. we need 2 get some $$$ in our pockets!
I deff. support this. i mean, if your dad goes to work every day from 6am until like 2pm.. then can easily drop you off/pick you up. they think we are too 'immature' to have that big of a responsibility. And you know what? some 12 year olds are. but what about the OTHER ones thatdo really good in life and dont get rewarded for it? I'm 13, and when i want something, i WANT it. so i ask, and they will be, do you have the money? and im like no... they hardly ever pay me. and they expect me to have $700 in my pocket for a laptop? i doubt it. So overall i agree with this.
yes i really agree i need a job at least like something simple but a real job i just want to help my parents with there bills . so contact me if they let 12 year olds work :)
Totally true. my parents wont pay for my phone. (they pay for the bill but not phones) and i need a new fone ( my screen cracked) but i cant get a job!
Yes! I would love this! I'm tired of having to do some lame jobs to get paid very little money. I would be fine if I was payed minimum wage. I would love for this to happen! I need money!
I'm fifteen and keep applying for jobs! The college students keep beating me out.I finally applied and I am still too young! There is an IPHONE on the line here! I agree 100%!LT
Its unfair, because kids these days spend money VERY quickly. One mall trip, or a day out with friends can soak up about 50 dollars! Kids need money, and asking their parents is really difficult because they need convincing and most times they say no. Child labor laws should be lowered; its not as if they're making us slaves.
i think all of use young people should have a chance to make money and try to fit in with our friends who work for there parents.and now be able to buy things our self.thank you
I support this, because some of us are struggeling with life if parents, and family wont help you only have yourself. You can't last in the U.S. with out money.
all this should happen... its all true all kids need the money to get what they want and their parents deny them unless they are selfish little rich kids
