JadziaDax I see your comments as more derogatory than needed. Granted it is a slap of reality that many teens do need but there is also an underlying problem in that article that I for one know is going on. I recall my grandparents and even parents say how they not only had a part time job but in other instaces were able to get summer jobs as well. The truth is...places do hire teenagers but a lot of the time there is a lot of BS that goes on. I can't tell you how many "We'll call you when there is an opening/we'll keep your application on file/we'll call you soon" Pretty much though teenagers do like jobs.

I realize also that it is true that there are plenty of lazy asses as well as people who want a cushy job...well that won't always happen. Truthfully though I remember when I was applying for jobs and I would put I can work anytime and start today. I was clean dressed and eager but they basically can take a shit in your face and laugh. As a teen I had jobs washing dishes, bussing tables, even working retail outlets. The fact is though I know even in the city I live in Teens who really want a job are having a hard time finding them. Even fast food is not really hiring.
