I'm tired of doing little jobs like dishes and stuff for a quarter, it will take forever to save up for something I want. I am willing to do jobs to get $.
hahah fags, u r all twelve, wait a couple years, find a buisness, like catching fish and crab, taht what i did, it costs 3 dolllars a day, and the pier, made 4 thousadn in the summer, going every second day, the reason u dnt hav a jib is becuz u bitch about it on the web, instead of doing sumthing, mowing lawns is money,it isnt a REAL job, but it is money, i wouldnt want a 12 year old makign chicken, and teh other reason they wnt higher u is cuz demand for work will go dwn, making u parents getting payed less, meening u work even more, but in the end getting poorer, dumb KIDS NOT EVEN TEENS YET!
There are many people that are under the age of 14 that can be just as great of a worker that was say 15,16,17,or even 30. Age should not matter when looking at jobs.Imean after all dont children under 14 have more energy than say some one 20 and over?
I agree, i would love to have a job, it help me get all of the things that i want. My parents cant always provide me with what i WANT. I am trying to get a laptop.At first i didn't tink anyone else would agree with me!
That 12 years old jib at summer tthat is good idea. Do you have a baby? If you have baby can I be you babysitter! Please Please Please Please Please Please Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
i think that is so messed up for people to not let you have a job when your 12.i just turned 12 in june and im looking for a job beacsue i want money and something to do.
I really do support this. I am twelve years old and I would like to get paid for my talents and I cannot because it is not currently leagal. I want to change this and I support this.
Are you crazy? 12 year olds are way too stupid and immature to work. Keep the stupid brats in school where they belong. What a dumb bunch of idiots young people are. You are bored because your little brains are too dumb to be creative yet and find something to do with your time. Spoiled little freakin brats, you need a slap.
I suppot this because im a 12 year old that always gets told by her mom i can't wait for you to get a job well i cant untill im 14 because this stupid law says so
I Hate that we cant work. Most 12 year olds are more mature then 16 year olds because we are not hooked on to drugs and unless we can i think the drugies will start increesing at a younger age because we have ABSOLOTLY NOTHING TO DO!
I totally Agree. I do penty of stuff during school time. But what about during summer. I have been searching for a summer job all summer! LET KIDS WORK!!!!
Ya... me and my friend wanna go to an amusement park, but we cant find any jobs, we dont have anything for a garage sale, i dont live where people would pass by for a lemonade stand, I'm not alowed to have a paper route, and ya... my parents wont pay 92 dollars... this sux.. i want a job!!
I skipped ahead in school, and although I am only fourteen Ii am a sophmore. I have to be a junior before i can work, which is a big deal because every penny I earn goes to my college fund. I haven't found a job yet because where I am it is still not legal. The earliest jobs are at fifteen. I will hardly have any time to get a small amount of money before graduating high school. If it was based on education, say-eigth grade, I would have enough to put in my first semester payment after scholarship. I don't want other kids to have to struggle as hard as I will.
I totally support this petition. I think that kids should work for some money, so they can stop asking there parents for money. LET KIDS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i support this as i am twelve aswell and need some money for phone credit,shopping,school lunch money,and other things my parents wont pay for. twelve year olds are mature enough for a job!
I agree, im poor, and i want to help. Its just retarded to have a 14 year old work if they dont want to and im 12 id love to. Seriously, id happily work 8 hours a day for 4 dollars an hour, without benefits thats a lot of money for me. If i start at 14 ill need a car and start saving for college and a house, if i start now then i can finish that way quicker. If no ones forcing us to work, why cant we?
I support this cause i believe in it kids should be able to get a job so they can start being reasponsible for when they have to get on there own they know what to do and its something postive for kids to do wit there summer instead of getting in troube
Indeed. I agree. Thats when most girls want to buy perses and makeup. And boys want to buy skatebords and video games.Therefore, a part-time job, maybe 3 hrs would be nice.
i also think this is unfair because under 14 aged kids want things like clothes,shoes purses and etc.I honestly feel that way.......tell me your opinion
I need a job now to buy stuff like guitars and upgrade my computer but I can't make enough through allowance and I already know more than some people at computer shops so I could work there but I'm too young (13)....
I think it is a good idea to be able to get jobs when you're 12 years old because if we want something our parents will say you have to save money and we want to have money so when we get older we get a nice car or buy our own clothes
i love this idea 12 years old need jobs it's not like you'r parents are gunna give it to yo like you need a new phone and you'r trying to hint so they will give you money and they just say
This is right!I have been treated like a baby an my mom wants me to have responsability and having a job would help,but people think that me and other kids 12 years or younger are just to young to do those kind of things!It just isent right!!
Btw.... Kids down there that are swearing... Their not gonna give u a job. U should be respectful... They are ur athority. It is a goood idea... Some people have family prbs. and they need alitle extra help... Give us a chance.... Leet us show u.
PLus... Clothes are going up in prices... and Parents dont want to buy their kids these $30 t-shirts... But the kids have to look good... why dont make them work for what they want????????????????
kids can be smarter than adults at times, so not letting a twelve year old with good skills would count as ageism. i 100% support this. i am twelve and planning on getting a small job at a barber shop or a variety store.
i think we should be able to get a job at 12, do things, anything, to get some money if we are willing to. I have so many things i want to buy, but have almost nothing to do to earn money. as long as no one would take advantage of me, i would like to work somewhere! i mean really.
I have been trying to get a job and I am 12 as well and my parents don't approve of me babysitting yet. I get mistaken for being 15 all of the time! I think I should be treated like it too!
i totally agree, plz email me, but i managed to pick up a job if you are wondering at a deli packing food, i am a 12 year old, who understands not only i am in threat, thank you for making this petition
Yay, my cousin even said I should get a job :-) and now I can I want to get a Wii or a PS3 :) or a cell phone my mom would be proud of me and she would also thank me for not asking her for money :) Yay finally we 12 year olds can get a job, and buy stuff :) oh then we can get credit cards Lol jk
I really believe in this! People think we're not as smart as them but look who's talking! They're the ones polluting the air and littering more than us!
