I HATE my job so much! It's not the people or anything I just hate the fact that I'm not free to do what I want and I have to do what they tell me to. I'm 15 and my parents want me to work I've talked to them and they said I better not quit what can I do? I hate it so much that it makes my stomach hurt and I sometimes even cry when I go on break and stuff. I worked last summer and made it through the season but I dont want to do another season!
You expect for people to just hand you money so you can go out and purchase whatever you want, but you don't want to earn it. I hate to break it to you, but welcome to the real world.
The money your parents used to hand you is hard earned. Simply giving it to you would make you unappreciative of where it comes from and how hard it is to actually get it.
Working lets you understand the value of money, and it gives you insight to how hard it is. Your parents don't get this money handed to them. They EARN it.
Boohoohoo. You have to work! OH NO! However will you survive? My suggestion to you right now is that you suck it up. You'll be working for another 50-55 years, so you should probably get used to it. Nobody is going to hand you anything. If you want it, you need to work for it. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

We all must work to live. In the real world having free time is a luxury earned. Your parents are teaching you responsibility and what to expect of the real world. In a few years you'll be having to do it nearly every day for the next few decades.
Of course giving yourself the best possible education whilst you can will give you the freedom to explore career option you are passionate about and are good at. The last thing you want is working ever god given hour just to make ends meet in a dead end job for the rest of your life. So give yourself a future and knuckle down to your studies.
You're getting to that age where you have to start making choices that affect your future. Bear that in mind and what you want for yourself several years down the line. Many students are putting themselves into debt, studying all hours and working when they can just to give themselves a good future so take heed.
It's time to grow up and start introducing yourself to the real world. Its not pretty, it's damn hard but you gotta learn to survive on your own. your parents are doing well by you and teaching you what it's really like out there.So suck it up and stop whining. Instead be proud to be earning money and realise just how hard your parents have to work for you to be able to do what you want to do in life. Not all of us get that oppertunity.

;)
You're not going to like my advice.
Suck it up, buttercup. We all have to work eventually, and sometimes that means doing things you don't want to do. I don't like every part of my job, but I do all of it because I am an adult and I need the money. Ask your parents: I bet they don't like a good chunk of what they do at work. You're learning an essential skill right now. You're learning how to deal with doing something you don't enjoy because it's what you have to do. That's called being responsible. Your parents are absolutely right in making you keep your job.
