In my country , there re no part time jobs for teenagers who re under 18 ! That really sucks ! My friends who re in my age can earn lots of money in their countries and buy eveything they want by their own money . How about me ?! I'm soo poor and depend on my parents too much .
In my country ... Adults dont want us , they dont want kids ! God ! They re sooo stupid , dont they ? Teenagers like us can do everything like adults and we dont need high payment though .
I dont know how about u guys ?!

Uh oh , you do really think so !
Why u think our main tasks is just STUDYING ?!
We do need to know more about life to have experiences and get ready for life when we graduate Highskool or University ! Do you think it is really good for us to depend on parents ?! To us ( who depends on parents ) we always think that life is soo beautiful but it is not ! I dont know but i think so . Maybe you re right , we should only study but i sitll want a part time job to grow up =]

Asian parents are different from western parents. basically, Asian parents are over-protecting to their kids.

Don't worry...when you become an university student, you can get to know more about the world. be patient Wink

how weird is eastern culture, so they don't like kids?????? how weird, and obviously they neither like women, everybody knows how bad are treated women in arabian countries
i really feel bad for kids and women from those countries
although i'm a man, and i would be treated as a king in those countries, my family is the opposity from eastern culture, my parents always showed their preference for my sisters, just because they are women, i even think my dad don't love me just because i;m a man

Hummnn nowadays , people dont really know Viet Nam ...haha too bad ! But glad that you know exactly where Viet Nam is and something about my country Wink

. Thanx Bob.S , it cheers me up ^__^
And yeah , most of my friends have those part time jobs
"A parttime job teaches you responsibility, how to manage your time, and a good work ethic" <<< i agree with this Smile

Yeah just hope i can find a part time job like that but i think i even dont have time 'cuz i have to spend much time at skool , studying with my tutor after skool , doing the homework :/ And noone cares so hire me . I miss the feeling that i ccould earn the money myself in the first time . Iy was soo awesome , humn when i was like 8 ... i guess so . I and my brother had bunchs of picture books so we let kids around my house hire it and got money from it . It was cool Cool

If you can't find real jobs, then maybe you can find something to do to help neighbors or people you know, in exchange for money. They call this sort of work "under the table" work in English, since it exists outside of the official employment/wage/tax system.
