You know what really sucks? The fact that as a teenager in the USA, I, along with the majority of teenagers, have to get a job at 16 or even younger, just to pay for a decent education, or even just the basic essentials. I've had to start working eight hours a day, 5 to 7 days a week this summer to make money to go to college in the future since my parents can't afford to pay for all of it. Not only is it incredibly painful to stand in one place for eight hours, it also makes me cry every morning, just because I know how much pain I'll be in later, and how much stress I'll be under once school starts up again. The US should recognize that education isn't a privilege, but a right. Preferably soon rather than later, so the physical and mental health of the teenage populace doesn't suffer too greatly.
