[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not a particularly important job, and people make mistakes when they’re young—this isn’t a moral failing. Making mistakes while young is good for her. Getting fired at that age isn’t the end of the world. A lot of Gen X people seem quick to criticize Gen Z teens and young adults unnecessarily, but she’s going to be fine. At 15-18, my boyfriend—who is now my husband—was more important to me than a cashier job, and honestly that’s probably how it should be. This board also feels full of high-achieving women who prioritize careers above everything else and are quick to label an 18-year-old a failure just for talking to her boyfriend, which is a pretty extreme take. I have a daughter in her 20s, and I wouldn’t be upset about something like that either. It’s not like anyone was harmed or anything dangerous happened. [/quote] I agree with this. I am sure many posters made worse mistakes when they were younger [/quote]
