I still don't understand this post. Are you complaining about kids not making money? I have 2 jobs and I'm 16. I make 10 and 9.50 an hour. One of the jobs gives me commission. I don't complain about kids without jobs. I have jobs in order to help my parents with bills and to cover my own expenses. Some kids don't need to have jobs. If I could focus purely on school I would. If I could have more fun over school breaks I would. But, we are all born in different positions. You can't judge kids based on their job experience, but you can judge them based on actions, personality, and economic class. Granted lower class children have gone through tougher situations and matured faster than most kids. Middle class kids grew up normally and matured normally. High class kids grew up slower and matured slower due to lack of problems. Age doesn't show maturity. I'm more mature than some 35 year olds. I know 30 year olds that are mature as some 10 year olds. It's all a matter of how they grew up and what they have gone through.
