I remember when I was twelve and wanted money. I agree with this. Besides, there are some kids that have parents that can't work, or can't make enough to support them. A job may make the difference between eating or starving. They can't wait two years for food.
This is a great idea i mean i need some money for dances and the mall and my mom won't give so i need some money all the time and she says get a job and i can't!! I think it is unfair!
12 years olds should be given the chance to work and make there own money !! they should be ablt to work in corner shops whats the worst they can do steel money well thers cctv for that they shud be able 2 work!!!!!!!!
I need a job my parents are really poor and i've wanted to help them out since i was 8, its not fair. I dont want to do chores because my parents will pay me and that gets me no where if i want to give them money. I've tried to babysit but theres already a service here and it costs money for fliers to be printed. So i think i should get to work somewhere, its not like ill be doing an important job just like grillman or something.
12 year olds are irrisponsible. They dont need money. Enjoy your childhood. Your only a kid once! have fun break the rules. 12 year oldsare NOT smarter than 14 year old. YOU CAN NOT GET A REAL JOB AT 12. Wait 2 years have fun in those years. Pet walk, Peat sit. leamonade stands! You could maybe bag grocerys try Publix.
12 year olds should get job, yea i know it shouldn't be like big jobs, but good paying jobs so we can be independent and learn independence from an early age and all of u need to stop cursing like that because if this petition goes through, people r not gonna want to hire people who curse up and down the place
I really want to help my parents and my family earn more money. I mean most 12 year olds are already in middle school and we are becoming more responsible. I think that we should really be able to get jobs just like 14-year-olds. i am the oldest kid in the family and my mom only gets her pay check every 2 weeks. We are becoming more free and my parents are taking away my alowance because i should get a job that 12 year olds have, but all those jobs are taken because there are so many 12-year-olds and very few jobs for them. I THINK THAT 12-YEAR-OLDS SHOULD GET THE JOBS 14-YEAR-OLDS GET!
Im 12 years old and i've been looking for a job for the last year and every thing im aloud to do because of my age is taken by other 12 year old kids i think this is unfair :@
I think 12 Year olds should b able 2 work 2 cause We can do get the job done better then any 14+ year old cause they have hormones and we r Usually not as snotty and smarter
I may be pretty well off but that doesn't mean that we as 12 year olds should be deprived of working rights just cause we're 12!think of all the good it does us to work and earn money!This is our future we're talking about!speak up!12YEAR OLDS NEED TO HAVE JOBS IF WE WANT EM'!!!!!!!!!!
My family is EXTREMLY poor. were almost living on the streets. My mom has ADD and that mens she's slow, and my dad pasted away when i was 4. I have no older sibling and no one takes care of us!!! I need a job but there is nothing that people will let you do. I am VERY smart, and since my moms disease, no one will hire her, not even her dad!!! I live on past down clothes and we live in the crappest appartment in the world. since me nor my mom have jobs, we will be living on da freakin streets. 12 YEAR OLDS SHOULD HAVE A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THINK 12 YEAR OLDS CAN GET A JOB IF THEY WANT TO BECAUSE THERE PARENTS PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO BUY EVERYTHING FOR THEM AND IF 12 YEAR OLDS BUY THERE OWN THING IT MIGHT MAKE THEM FEEL PROUD OF THEM SELVES BECAUSE THEY WORKED FOR IT!
Omg. Everyone needs to calm down. I wan't a job too and I look everyda and im 12. Just hear me out... (start contacting relatives, go on craigslist, sacbee, and you'll probably find what you need. Just keep looking like I have. I support everyone! Money is good but when you get start thinking of buying things that will help you out when you really want something. Some of you wan't phones(I have a pink razr) so why not save allowance, and contact people
TO all of you 12 year olds lol
iknow what yall mean because i want my own money 2 buy my own things that my moma wont buy me.because if i had a job i would buy my own cell phone and pay for the bill each month!!!!!!
i want a job so bad and mr.jim jones your nasty and stupid.

I think the 12 year olds should be able to hold a job at a little store for a little responciblity because when it comes time for us to get a big job we will have a great experence and there will be better employeys!
I hear you guys out man. I'm 12 too. You know there are a lot of things I could could do if i had some cash. Like I wanna learn to skateboard. but my parents won't give me money for lessons or a skateboard. I want a job
I need MONEY i really want a job other then mowing lawns im tired of it. ive had 5 lemonade stands. and 17 lawn mowing jobs and doig HOSEWORK. im tired of it I NEED A JOB!!!!!!!! and IM 12!!!!
I think 12 year olds should definetly be able to get a job!! Why not? We are just as hard working as any other 14 year old! All I want is a summer job that will allow me to make some money as well!
dude this thing sucks why cant we get a job ya were young but i can still work i could name 5 jobs i could do with a 7th grade edicaton
mow lawns in a buisness
Mc donalds cook
skateboard shop
work ina factory on the line

I am a 12 year old who just searched 12 year old jobs on google i hate waiting so long and itz hard for a kid like me 2 get money i want a job plz help
i want a job to do with pets aswell like maybe in a kennel or summit i support this 100 percent. we shud be able to get jobs i mean its not even legal for us to do a paper round! or i wud babysit so if anyone knows these jobs that i cud do plz email me...
i think he sould have the write to have jobs like the legal ages for babysiting is 12 so thats one job but we need more its to unfair so i write this todayto tell people to stand up cause we need jobs so give as one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im 12.... and looking for a good job that would help my mother pay bills not just to spend becuase my mum is ill of cancer and she would need the money more that i would.
i am a good hard working trustworthy 12 year old girl who is lookin for a job to do with animals.i have been round animals all mt life as i live on a farm plz get bk 2 me if there is any jobs around chalfont to do with animals
yes im 12 and yes i support this petition all the way because us 12 year olds should be able to have jobs. maybe we want to have some of our own money. so i support it all the way.
im 12..and i want to be able to have text on my phone..my mom says i have to pay for it, im looking for a job but i think its unfair to 13 & younger kids no job...
i'm 12 and i'm going ot seattle for spring break and i want to earn money and i cant find anyone who wants a babysitter right now and theirs no paper routes in my neighbour-hood!!!! grrr i'm mad
Im tring to start save money for my car, college, and to hang out with my friends but my parents wont give me no many and im to young to get one that pays, and no one needs a babysitter lately. so this is all unfair!!!!
i need money and i cant my dad always tells me go get a job and i cant because iam not 14 yet and i need money i think 12 year olds should be able to get jobs
I think we sould be able to apply jobs, at sall corer shops or something like that, we need mone, because as we get older theresthings you wanr to b,but yu cat affrd. gettng a job evein on an allotment is good, atleast you earn money, i men you coud work anywhere aslong astheres no alchahol in he shop or cigs.
well im 12 and my dad wont give me any money just for chores and good grades i want at least to be a papor boy at minimum wage so i could fix up some things in my house and the youngest age in my city is working at worlds of fun&oceans of fun at 14
I also agree that it is unfair that you have to be older than a certain age to apply for a job. I mean, 12 year olds want to make some money for themselves to make more then their allowance. Thankz! Peace out.
yea i think that it's dumb for us not to have jobs at 12 i mean the news our parents every older person around us say that studies show that we r lazy we r not active or responsible or blah blah blah so if we want jobs y not??
I think 12 year olds should have jobs, yes they have to be appropraite but like piercing for a job no like i am saying like something reasonable. I am 12 and i would like a job because it is a responsible thing to do and you make something for doing it and you are pround and i would like to make things by myself!!! well thank you thats my oppinion..xoxo
we think that being 12 almost 13 stinks...we like to go to the diner with our friends on fridays and we cnt work cause we arent old enough and we need the extra cash..Its So unFAIR!!
I'm turning 13 soon and I think it's EXTREMLY unfair that you have to be 16 or older to get some sorta of a decent job.... Just cuz were younger dosn't make us stupid..
i think that 12 year olds coming up to 13 should be aloud to earn money wheather it should be a job like walking somebodies dog at the weekends to earn a bit extra cash.
im 12yrs old and i saving up for a laptop but my parents wont give me any money does any one no where i could get a small job like handing out leaflets or something...
me and my friend want to go to the movies and go shopping and are parents wont let us have money they say wait one more year and then you can work im only 12 so one more year is going to kill me
