I've got news for you. They are also buying, and smoking POT with money from their parents, or anywhere else they can get it. I don't see many kids working much anymore, so guess where most of that comes from also?

Next up: Jello shooters, a great way to get alcohol into teenagers.

Puleeze. We all like those flavors. When I was vaping, my favorite flavors was Thin mint mint, and spearmint.


Grown ups like variety too.

Apparently unless one personally observes teens working, no teens anywhere work.

What do you mean "Who is paying for it"? Paying for what, the equipment?

I didn't say NO TEENS ANYWHERE WORK. I said I don't see them working as much, and compared to years past they don't.

nobody's business appears to be correct about the proportion of teens who are working in the summer now as opposed to in 2010.

Fewer teens have summer jobs than in 2000 - and the jobs have changed | Pew Research Center

Quote:
As recently as the turn of the 21st century, roughly half of U.S. teens could expect to spend at least part of their summer vacation lifeguarding, dishing up soft-serve ice cream, selling T-shirts or otherwise working. But the share of teens working summer jobs has tumbled since 2000: Despite some recovery since the end of the Great Recession, about a third of teens (35%) had a job last summer.
Quote:
Researchers have suggested multiple reasons why fewer young people are working: fewer low-skill, entry-level jobs (such as sales clerks or office assistants) than in decades past; more schools ending in late June and restarting before Labor Day; more students enrolled in high school or college over the summer; more teens doing unpaid community service work as part of their graduation requirements or to burnish their college applications; and more students taking unpaid internships, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t count as being employed.

Well, this shows that "fewer" teens have jobs than in the past. She said "few" teens have jobs. I don't know how to quantify that. About 1/3 of teens work. That's not no one.

My elderly father has indirectly paid for the drugs, drink and tattoos of his step-grandchildren. Now he's broke.
