Actually, you can work when you're under 16; you just have to have a permit and there are a lot more rules, especially concerning how many hours you can work and what the conditions have to be. That's why only a few businesses hire anyone under 16; it's usually mostly movies, tv shows, etc. that need child actors that hire children, from what I've heard. Anyways.
Being a college girl off at school five hours from home, it's a big relief to not have to deal with my mom's mood swings and my dad's constant overreactions. My dad tries to make me his 'little girl.' It'd be sweet, if it weren't so annoying. Just a few days after I went home for Christmas, I spent the night at my best friend's house. I hadn't seen her in six months and God only knows when I'll see her again. And a few days later, when I wanted to take a few hours and go see 'Rent' with my older brother (whom I'm really close to) my dad guilt-tripped me for not spending time with the family. I spent three whole weeks with my family. I spent one night with Dagan. One night. They try to baby me in ways they never baby my three brothers simply because I'm the only girl in the family, and then they expect me to be the mother hen and keep my younger brothers in line. And then they get upset with me when I get upset with my brothers because they won't listen to me.
