Today, I've been told once again that I'm "a lazy, spoiled brat" because I don't have a job. I'm sixteen, and I live in a town where I have to be at least eighteen to be even interviewed for the currently available jobs. FML

Don't get me wrong, having a summer job or two in highschool can be a great way to prepare for the grown up world to come. But it's not a 16 year old's responsibility to provide for the houshold. Your "job" is to finish highschool and help with house chores. And like you said, you can't legally work right now. So what do they expect you to do, deal drugs?

Love how about half the responses to adults emotionally harassing (and abusing, if it's OP's family saying this) a sixteen year old is "**** focusing on your school, go work for people who will probably exploit you because you can't get any other job!" Really, people?

IMHO: start your own business, OP. You'll satisfy their horseshit complaint and have an excuse to spend as little time with those people as you have to. And the money you bring in, belonging to the business, won't be available to them. Only a bit before you've reached the age of majority and can get out. Good luck and Godspeed.
