I too think that kids at the age of 12 years or older should be able to get a job allowing them to work. Many people underestimate kids at this age. I agree.
i would like to do this because i do want to buy myself stuff and get nice things but i never have money to do it so i think that there should be jobs for kids younger than 14 and i dont care if it is taking care of a pet for 3 hours or something like that a least i would be able to earn so money for my accomplisments.
i think i should get a job i need the money to get a lab top help support my family throw a hard time right now and have spare money just to go somewhere with my friends
I want to work. I need money!!! I should be alowed to wok because I am just as good as those 16 year olds. I am in the sixth grade and i am beginning alagebra 1! beat that 16 year olds!!!
yea when i go to the mall or i go to bestbuy, future shop i whant to buy stuff but i cant ? so i was planning to get a job then i found out u have to be 15 or above so i was mad i think we need to change this we are as smart as a 15 year old we have reponsibility so i say sigh the petition
I hate not having money...most of my friends are just handed money and i dont just get money...im sick of cleaning the bathroom and selling lemonade looking like a dork!! i need a REAL job
If the canadian dollar rose, and were still paying the same high price, how am i to survive the holidays without wasting all my money??? Im sending this to friends
I with you two imean it is so unfair that the geown ups get all of the money and what do we get... nothing we have our rights to have money we have lives just like theydo
I am signing this petition becuase i am a mature 12 year old who wants to get money to save up for college and have extra money to be able to buy a laptop or something else without having to beg and beg mom and dad and ending up with them still saying NO!
omg i'm totaly with u man!!! i'm 12 and i need some new things.... i love to blow my money on airsoft and warhammer (in case u didnt no warhammer is a really fun table top game with models u build and paint and stuff... airsoft is bbs that r plastic so u fite with each other....) and i've noticed lately that the bank's gone down latley... i can't find a job (golf's season is over lol) and i say let us get jobs!!!!
I think children at the age of 12 and over are mature enough to haddle a job that they can do well. We can do much more than babysite and hold bake sales. Not all 12 year olds are immature, or rich, or usless, and I think that if we were given the opportunity to prove that we can do most jobs for teens as well as they can then we would impress the world. Some people do want to make a good difference in the world, but others permit them from doing it. Alot of people 12 years old and up are looking for jobs, SO LISTEN UP WORLD, WE LIVE AND BREATH, WE KNOW HOW TO COOK,CLEAN TALK, WASH DISHES, HANG CLOTHS, AND M U C H M O R E !We want this, it is our choice, we know we can do it!
I am 12 and i am a hard worker but the only job is lemonade and babysitting. I am smart can cook. I can do alot of things. I want a real job to get real money not just 25 cents
I think its insane that apperently because I'm 12 I am not to be trusted babysitting!! Its not fair to me or any other kid. I may be 12 but I have a much higher sense of maturity. I luv kids and luv to watch them. Its not okay to judge somebody on their age.
Im saving up for a horse and I love to be busy to and I think that if a child my ae (12) wants to get a real job they should. Im sick and tired of dogwalking and babysitting. I want a real job!!
im saving for an ipod i have a library debt to pay 80$ and well my mom isn't the richest person in the world we have a beautiful house but when it comes to stuff i want im on my own but i haven't told my mom the library debt
screw that. 12 year olds working? Most of you haven't even hit puberty for THAT matter, why would someone allow you to work. More and more adults need jobs, more than twelve year olds, to be able to support THEMSELVES along with you little kids. The driving age is 16, that's why it's the age to start work, so you can have a car to be able to drive, your mommies and daddies don't need to be driving you to work when you're only 12. this petition is rediculous, and is definitely not needed. Thanks though.
I need a job i wish they would give us a job i mean its just not fair. Being 14 takes too long. If we keep good grades then having a job shouldnt be a problem!!!!!!!!!!!
