_cyaniide's journey

I’m currently 16 and have applied to countless jobs through various websites, but I never hear back. It’s incredibly frustrating! People say teenagers are lazy and need to get jobs, but it feels like no one wants to hire us. I’ve been working with my mom’s business for about three years, but I really want a ‘real’ job to save up for travel by the time I turn 18. I’ve been told that it’s harder for my generation compared to previous ones, and it seems like many jobs that used to be filled by teenagers are now taken by adults. I just wish someone would tell me that it gets better for teens looking for work!
