[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This must be a troll post.

OP said nothing about why she thought it would be a bad idea.[/quote]

This is OP. I thought I made myself clear but maybe not. She doesn’t need money so there’s no practical reason for a job, plus I don’t want her to spend her summer alone and not make friends.[/quote]

Most jobs that hire 15 year olds also hire other teens. It's not like she'll be sitting at home behind a computer as her job. At her job, she'll run into other people, and potentially make friends, while also gaining valuable life skills. Filling out job applications, following up, going for interviewes - they all set her up better for her future than going to a sleepaway camp like she's a 10 year old.

My 14 year old DD has found work tutoring. In the fall, she will have a job working at a local farm. She is not a kid that needs to work (ever really), but she wil because it's good for her to be independent, generate her own income, and have the responsibilities that come with holding down a job.[/quote]
