CHILDREN BELOW 15 years old are WORKING??? disagree???

I don't have a problem with this at all. I have been working since the age of 14. And even before then I used to make money baby-sitting and tutoring. I wasn't forced to work but i wanted to work and I think that it is important to teach a child responsibility, time management, and how to manage your money. I have a problem with parents who give their children everything. There is more satisfaction and appreciation for something that you have to work and save up for before you have it. You end up taking better care of it. Even though I was working I still had a 3.4 GPA and received scholarship offers from any college that I applied to. I was also able to participate in many extra-curricular activities. Honestly working, school, and my extra activities kept me busy and tired so I didn't have time to get myself in trouble.

I guess that depends on the child, some children work on television and as actors I guess that is no different to some other work, if the child enjoys it I guess there is no harm, I am really for kids being kids and having fun but when I think back to my childhood I hated school so much I think I would have prefered to be working.

depends what jobs they are doing, here in england, kids from 13 can do paper rounds, it may not seem like much, but they have to carry very heavy bags and get up at around 6 am. there are other jobs kids can do, but they must not intefere with school work.

Yes, I couldn't believe that they are working now when they needed to study first. It's really a painful reality since most of them, their parents could not afford to send them to school. They don't have enough money and most of those children are maltreated or abused by the employer, why is it that most adults that are cunning abuse the minors more than their fellow adults?
