Work
Okay, so everyone works now in days and i want to work so bad. im 16 years old and i dont want to be asking my parents for money no more. so i ask them if i can get a job but they keep on saying NO because im still young and still am in school. they dont want me to be behind on credits but i really want to work. what can i do so that they can change their minds about me working and getting my own money?

Just because you are at high school doesnt mean you cant work. Try suggesting weekend jobs to your parents time which is out of school and you wouldnt be doing homework in. Tell them you need to learn to be independant and you want to have some experience (no matter how small) in basics e.g. shop work before you have to work for a living at University or at your chosen career. Try to relate it back to valuable life skills and they should be happier about it. DONT GIE UP!! xordinarygirlx :P

well first off, so many high schoolers have jobs. If you can assure your parents that if you work, your grades and stuff wont go down, maybe they'll think more about it. But you should point out the benefits of having a job. For example, you can buy things using the money YOU've earned, not your parents money [so they cant complain]. You can learn how to manage your money wisely and it will help when you go to college and beyeond. Just point out the good things about getting a job and make sure they know that your grades wont drop when you get a job :)
