"We have to push you because you won't push yourself."
A direct quote from my mother regarding swim team. (Just so you know, I'm an extremely driven individual.) It's time to assume some responsibility and get a summer job, but my parents believe otherwise. In their minds, fifteen is too young to be working. All I'm asking for is some independence to buy what I want with my own money, and (maybe) pay half of my college tuition when the time comes. Is that too much? |

No not at all. But at most jobs you're too young, it's not just your parents. At some jobs, you at least have to be sixteen or older and at some jobs sixteen is too young. So good luck finding a job that will hire you.
