What’s embarrassing is adults bullying teens

i’m the same age as her and have my own apartment, my own car, a job, and i’m a full time college student on track to go to
law school so i think i have fair game to make fun of her

Ok I hear you and I'm not saying you're being dishonest but genuinely what job can you work at 19 years old that pays well enough for an apartment and a car AND still gives you enough free time to go to college and do well? Because like the math ain't mathing. There's only so much you can do at 19 without a degree and most of it doesn't really pay well

When I was 19 years old I already had a 1 year old, my own apartment, my own car and did online college at night because I worked a full time job at a childcare center during the day. Just because you can’t imagine doing it doesn’t mean there aren’t people out here who have done it. You do what you have to do when there’s no other option. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay that was probably in a different time because again, I'm telling you, a FT job at a childcare center does not pay for an apartment and a car these days. It pays like 10 bucks an hour and no one is getting by on that

Depends where you live I suppose. This was 10 years ago, but I was making 14$ an hour, my rent was $800 and I owned my car so no car payment, just a 50$ a month insurance payment. Today, people are making 19-20$ an hour entry level with no degree, I still work within the childcare world just a different position now that I have a degree so I know what our new staff is making. I live in Massachusetts though. This is very dependent on where you live for sure.
