job problem
15/f. i turned 16 in september so my parents tell me that i need to get a job. ok i'm fine with getting a job and i am planning on working at the same place that my older sister works. they have really good, flexible hours and they pay well. but the only problem is that my parents go away every weekend (fri to sun) so i wouldn't have a ride to and from work on weekends. and my parents told me that i would have to walk.
the thing is that i REALLY REALLY don't want to have to walk to work. its a 20 minutes walk and i would have to cross a major street. it scares me to have to walk this alone and cross that road.
so what do i do? i would have to walk to work on weekends until i can get my license which wouldn't be until late march. so what do i do?

Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
Ride a bike? Catch a ride? Take a bus? Pay for a cab ride?
Or, you could learn to walk. If it makes you so nervous maybe you could get a family member or a friend to walk with you a few times for practice.
Remember that millions of people walk to work or school and it's healthy, better for the enviroment, and pretty safe. Your stress is understandble, but totally unfounded. With a bit of work I'm sure this is something you could get past.

Maybe you could ride your bike to work because it's summer so the weather is usually good for that. People around here ride their bikes places all the time. If there's no place to put the bike or if you don't have one at all, then I'd ask your sister to drive you.
You said you'll be working at the same place as her so maybe she could bring you there, and you said the hours are flexible so maybe you could ask the manager to set your hours to match your sisters.
Good luck! :]
