so as many of you may know... i am 15 and i have issues at home. my parents cut me off today from all money... so i have to get a job to pay for my own like clothes, food, and anything else.
i am actually about to have an interview for the local nursing home. if that doesnt work, i have friends working at the local dairy queen and theyre looking for more people. thank you so much for this advice.That stinks... I'm really sorry. I can give you some tips on looking for a job; in the meantime is there a friend you can stay with? That way you'll at least have access to food and what not.
It will be hard finding a job at 15, you're going to have to fake being an E. Apply at restaurants and fast food places. When you ask for an application you should also ask when the manager will be there. Turn in the application directly to the manager, if they don't interview you right then: call every few days to ask if they've looked at your application yet. Remember to be very polite.
Even though you will be feeling awkward and maybe nervous, just smile and try to talk in an upbeat voice.
The constant calling them will probably make you feel like you're being annoying, but they won't look at your application otherwise. It will be thrown with a bunch of other applications, and your will be chosen only if you're lucky.
Once again, I'm sorry this has happened. I wish there was something I could do for you, but this is the best I've got.
Walking around naked is far more intimidating than a knife. It'd let everyone know who the boss is. I'm "gifted" in that respect. :tongue:I thought you were going to say that you would walk around with a knife or something... lol! Scare your family into feeding you! I have a great big mouth, so the entire world would know if I weren't happy about something.
As an INFP, I know I should feel completely disgusted by any ESTJ opinion, but I have to say I completely agree. These laws exist to protect people like you. They can't deny you food and shelter until you are 18 and no longer their responsibility.You need to start looking out for you. It sucks, but you are being forced to be an adult right now by your family. Part of being an adult is knowing when to give up on certain situations and putting yourself in a place where you can do what is best for you. You can still bond with them from a distance, but technically, its still considered child abuse if they refuse to feed you and buy you clothes until you're 18. You are their responsibility, like it or not. Ask all the men out there who have to pay child support til their kids are 18. They sure don't like it, but that's our American society and the laws we have to live by. They do not have the option to not feed you- it's their job. It's not a bad idea for you to get a job, but you'd be best keeping the money somewhere that they have no access to or they're going to take it from you. You're too close to the situation to look at it objectively. Pretend that this were happening to a friend of yours. What advice would you give them?
I promise, we're really not all that bad.As an INFP, I know I should feel completely disgusted by any ESTJ opinion, but I have to say I completely agree. These laws exist to protect people like you. They can't deny you food and shelter until you are 18 and no longer their responsibility.
I know ESTJs... I have two that are really good friends. I'm actually sitting in the bed belonging to one of them... and I can safely say, INFPs and ESTJs do not mix.I promise, we're really not all that bad.![]()
When I was 15 I worked at a dairy queen... whoa 11 years ago! It was an okay job, management in fast food restaurants could be difficult for infp's to put up with... be warned!!!i am actually about to have an interview for the local nursing home. if that doesnt work, i have friends working at the local dairy queen and theyre looking for more people. thank you so much for this advice.
but... i dont want to stay with a friend because im still busting my butt off to bond with my family so we can try to function without violence..
There are probably a few women who have to pay child support too =PYou need to start looking out for you. It sucks, but you are being forced to be an adult right now by your family.
