The truly disturbing thing is not the fact that teenagers work, it is the fact that they are shoehorned into the most menial, emotionally draining and low-paying jobs that can be found.
Teenagers should have jobs. They should be novelists and playwrights and game developers and programmers and fashion designers and choreographers and animators and inventors and poets and Olympic skateboarders and whatever else brings them joy.
They should not be being exploited by huge corporations in order to keep them silent, burnt out and generating adults a steady cash stream.
Hot take ig but kids in high school shouldn't have to work either. They should be spending their evenings doing homework and extra-curriculars and fucking around.
There definitely shouldn't be entire industries reliant on their low-wage labor. Why are there many kids being scheduled for a 6 hour shift after a 7 hour school day when they've got learning and their future and their childhood to worry about?
Any industry built on poverty wage child labor should perish, and that's most fast food and grocery and retail so I guess the economy's tanked 🤷. Should've thought about that before deciding to make the essential work into jobs for children and the underclass.
needing to get permission to pee and being able to be denied permission to pee shouldnt be allowed bro. like, you shouldn't have a medical note just to be able to pee when u need to pee
