I agree with you, “young but not stupid” (love that name!) Not only that, listen to this…. last year my daughter was a day camp counselor, and the camp was going on a trip, and she was told she had to pay to take her group on the trip! She was earning less per day than what the trip cost. I kept quiet and just paid because my daughter loved the job but I thought it was not right.
Most teenagers don’t work for the money, they work for the fun of it, they love kids and they have friends that also work there.
I guess the nice weather today has us all thinking of summer.
