This is normal for a person to be stressed about finding a job, especially with the way the economy is today. However, finding a job means taking the extra step. This does not mean you have to lower your self esteem because of the word "job". Depending on your location, there are a lot of volunteer activities which can be amazing to add on to your resume. There are also cafes and some clubs around cities that you can join and hang out. The process of getting a job would be slower, but with patience comes better things. Begin going out and network with people. Also getting some extra money, go to different classes such as yoga or whatever your interests are. Believe it or not, some of the richest people in the world never went or graduated college. They began networking with different people in their community, and with an ideal profession and interests in mind, they were able to elaborate on it and advance higher than a person with a college degree. As far as the parents go, they care about you and want you to become successful which is why they want you to find a job, but finding a job can also interfere with college. If you honestly want to go to college, then I recommend filling out your FAFSA and begin applying for scholarships on fastweb. Some of them require a GPA of 3.0 or higher, others are either by video projects, essay writing, or by lottery. there are a lot of options available to you at your age, and the only thing you got to do is take initiative.
IIN that I get very anxious at the idea of finding a job at 18?
