I Do Not Want To Work!

By mylittledolls August 02, 2020 11 answers Last updated August 02, 2020

Hello, at 16 years old. I am from Plovdiv. I have been working at McDonald's on Saturdays and Sundays for about 20 days. During the week I get up at 6 for school, on Saturday and Sunday I get up in most cases at 5, when I am the first shift, and when I am second I am at work until 21:30 in the evening, they bring us by bus and from the bus stop we have 20 more min way on foot I generally go home at 22:30 and if it's Sunday the next day I get up again at 6 for school. It is very difficult for me, because I really do not have a day off, I spend 7-8 hours at school, I am also burdened with homework, I constantly have a headache, I feel overtired and I feel that I will not be able to stand it, and I signed a contract for the whole summer in McDonald's, I'm coming home rotten and this getting up early kills me because I sleep for 5 hours at best, I almost stopped eating, because I feel like I've lost my appetite due to fatigue. You will ask me why I do not give up the job? How will a family of four with a total income of euros 700 survive if I don't help with something?

Since last year I have been taking English lessons and every week when I want money they start harassing me, because for our animals like education they are money in the wind and I just waste them. Apart from that, there will be a ball, a university, a taxi and I don't know what I will do and how I will save so much money. When I'm at work and I join Facebook at 11 in the morning, for example, if then they let me go on vacation and it's raining for good morning, and I've been on my feet for 5 hours now and I'm super dumb. What are they more than me, so they lie and sleep all day and go to the cafes, while I struggle with the rag and wash their toilets, and yet I still can't afford the things they can afford. Don't drool,

   It's good that you're working. Work a little, then rest. They have to think about your money not you.

   Darling, you are much more than them, that's all I'll tell you! These ankles will rely on mom and dad for a lifetime, while you will learn independence and value money, something they will never learn to do, so you have nothing to be ashamed of, on the contrary, go with head held high! Last year at school, along with the probationary exams, I met a girl from the next class, who had moved out to live in a dormitory and worked as a dancer in a nightclub. Despite the difficulties and ridicule from her classmates and the lack of sleep around this job, she managed to finish with good success and went to study in England with the money she has saved since then, I have no news about her, I guess she stayed there and will not return.

   Yep, it's different for everyone. But what you do now will pay off in the future. Do not give up. Success!

   Don't be angry with people. If necessary, stop following their posts (there is such an option). At 17, you still have time to be able to build your own future. High school seems like complete nonsense and you're 90% right, but you need it to be able to learn something. Yes, you are in a difficult situation, and yes - you see that your parents are not croats who care about education and that is the reason why you have such a low income. But here are some tips - get a bike, at least to have from work to the bus. Take a nice chain and tie it to some pole. You haven't taken the money yet and you're sick, I know. At school, explain your situation to the teachers or at least the class teacher. In the meantime, plan what you will do next. When the vacation comes, you will have time to work and save some money. Don't get attached to people's minds,

   Well it doesn't work. If you want, work only during the summer vacation and pay for your courses with what you earn. And when you finish school you can work for a year and then go to study.

   I sincerely hope that things in life will turn out in the best way for you! : * What you can do is to miss at least a day a week from school ... I know it sounds frivolous, but at least years ago we all ran away for no reason and there were no major consequences .. but look for you this will be a day when you will fall asleep, drink coffee and everything that would unload you :) I believe that life will give you a very nice surprise in the future!

   Listen to number 4 and don't get angry with people - they are not guilty of anything, that your parents are unfit to be parents. And no, it's not the state's fault, as some may often say. Not everyone is for a parent and it is high time they introduced laws that do not allow everyone to become a parent just because he is very in love, because the babies are very sweet to him / her, because finally he / she has to make sense of his / her life, or because he thinks that when the child appears, everything will be fine at last.

   With this title you have attracted haters and villains like a magnet. It's just that when everyone reads it, they think that it's not a student, but a graduate who has to start a job, but he doesn't. And they came in to "arrange" you a nice thing, but they saw that it was a student and the comments were softer, but they were extremely dumb - you should NOT work while you are a student, it is not normal and it is not "good". "as they wrote to you. Except during the summer vacation ...

   You can go to part-time education. That way you will have time to sleep. Tell your teachers what the reason is and they will get in your way. You can tell your classmates that you just don't soak in the teacher every day and so on.

   Dear author, First of all - deep respect for your fighting spirit! Now, in essence - do not delve into the question "Why you so, and I otherwise?" - I'm not saying it's not fair, but you will not get any constructive answer from it. Your life has dealt bad cards, that's it. For work - McDonald's sounds like a very unpleasant job to me. I'm not saying it's a shame to work there or anything like that, it's just draining and ruining, and I guess the money isn't very good. It is extremely unfortunate that you have to work at this age. Of course, I'm not in your shoes to give you a reason, but still - if there is even a small opportunity not to work, or to work only during the holidays - use it, finish high school with the best possible success, then find a decent job and wait a year or two with the university. And then you can enroll part-time or find a way to combine work with a university. About education - as I advised you to postpone the university, I do not mean to give up. It's great that you're looking not only forward, but upward. Choose to learn something that draws you in, teaches it with your heart, and there will come a time when everything you accumulate now will pay off and others will wonder why you succeed and not you. The fact is that you are currently having difficulties. The fact is that life can be nasty and alas, he showed you this ability quite early. But it is also a fact that difficulties nurture strong characters. I sincerely wish you success!

   Honey, let me tell you, I'm just the opposite. I'm looking for a job like crazy, but no one hires a 17-year-old. My point is, I didn't know McDonald's hired students. There is one next to us, so I wonder if they would take me if they were looking for staff. Can you explain in a little more detail what is the hiring procedure, what documents, what is the work and the salary? I will be extremely grateful to you!
