Why is there such a big rush to grow up? Be happy with not having to have a job, not pay taxes, having free food, and being able to mooch off your parents for as long as you can before they try and kick you out!
Because there is no possible mooch from my parents. Seriously. I won't go into details of the pains of getting money, but lets put it this way...If I wanna stop wearing the same pair of pants to school (the only ones that are allowed because of the damn dress code) then I'll need a job. Also if I want to take my nice vacation this summer, job. New drum set, professional camera, and another basketball goal, job needed. No one around here seems to want to hire someone almost 17, yet my friend who's 18 goes from job to job. If he doesn't like his job, he moves.
