You're getting a lot of down votes, but you're spot on. I started working fast food at 14, and I looked like I was 9.

    And you should have been given pocket money and sent to the playground.

    I enjoyed it. The work was easy and it gave me a sense of purpose and I needed that. It taught me the value of my time, and enabled me to get a car when I turned 16. Some people grow up fast, simply because they have to, or sometimes because they just, do. One size does not fit all.
