Teens are taught to get the shittiest fast-food job, work precious hours of their childhood away for minimum wage, and never expect to enjoy a single minute of it. Why? Who knows. Apparently it builds character, like Purple Nurple's and Wet Willy's. For whatever reason parents may have to convince their children, it's completely and morally wrong for them to do so. Our lives are precious, our time as young people limited, and there is no reason that you as a parent cannot take care of me. While I do admit going to bbt.com and seeing my bank statement read $519.00 is nice, knowing that I'm working at Buddy's Barbeque all day labor day for $7.25 an hour doesn't seem all that worth it when I could be enjoying the off school with all of my friends. I just want to be a kid while I can.
Or, do something I want to do. There are plenty of things that would seem worth my time, but teens are assumedly unqualified (assuming makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me").
Some time has passed since I started this post and I have decided to stick it out, knowing that the money is not completely worth it but semi-necessary to maintain my quality of living (also I've decided that I'm going to France next summer, hollah!). While I will be working this entire Labor Day weekend, somehow I'll learn to cope.
