yes it is good idea for 14 years old to work but only part time and you should concentrate on your studies. but its not a very good idea for 14 yrs to work full time

the child labor laws are really weird.  like you can pretty much start working at a family business or a farm as soon as you can walk (you can even get a drivers licence at like 12 if your parents are farmers).  generally though i think you can start working at 13 but you can't work many hours.  there's other weird jobs like a paper route you can have before then.

I'm 14 if that answers your question.

I would be 13 again so I could start over and do things differently.

I started working when I was fourteen. A lot of places will not hire  you when you are thirteen, and if you have to buy a car because your  parent s won't buy you one, then you need to start saving at 14

I say 18 if you ask me, yeah its still young i guess, but by that time, you should be finishing up H.S and have lived under parents law long enough. Just like you said, you can go fight wars and vote, thats a big responsibility right there. If you old enough to (die) and old enough to vote. then I think the legal age should be 18.. As far as drinking, let be real, if someone under age wants to drink they can get liq, its not that hard..

I'd like to see that happen. In my state, you have to be registered a month ahead of time. I find this prevents a lot of younger people from voting because it's usually their first election and they either don't know you have to wait or just lose track of time.

It's not that big of a deal.  If you're already committing crimes at age 13, chances are you weren't going to go anywhere in life anyway.  In the business, we call people like you "job security".  You're the reason we'll never be out of work.

You should be able to start a business regardless of age. It is a breach of your human rights to try to stop you. Employment is only a form of slavery - and time it was abolished for all. But your parents may get taxed on the money you earn in some countries. In the UK, they would tax the air we breathe if they could.

You are probably too young to remember the 60s.  College students were instrumental in ending the Vietnam war.  VOTE!! and be active in politics.  Anyone who does not vote has no right to complain (in my eyes).

i think it should stay the same because we can't rely on family until were 18. we need to drive at 16 so we can do stuff on our own.

Unfortunately, I can't. It's a shame that people who are well old enough to vote, and see what the hell's wrong with this country refuse to do so. If the people of the older days were as lazy as some of these people, I'd still be in the plantation and both of us would be under the rule of the British.

I think that the government has made some mistakes, but is doing the best they can under the circumstances, and under the time limit they have to make the desicions. I'm 13, by the way.

OK, so everyone says they are not mature enough.  I think he should give exampls on why are kids 13-17 NOT mature.  They spend all day playing the XBox 360, play the ball and jacking off.  They don't have a job, to appreciate a salary or wage and to recent the government for taking most of it in taxes.  They don't have a car, so they don't experience the joy of road rage and traffic that makes you get to work late and therefore get fired, lose your house to foreclosure and end up in the gutter.  I dooon't think people younger than 30 should be allowed to vote.  But I'm 35, so that's OK.

A good reason would be to start saving money for your future education and to start learning responsibility.  Part time work would probably suit your age group better than full time.  You still need to enjoy being 14 instead of 'all work and no play'.\nGood luck!

I don't think there should be a specific age limit but you should only run if you're mentally and physically strong enough for it. No one is gonna vote for a really old, completely incompetent person with no common sense anyway.
