change legal paid working age to 14
it is currently 16 years of age, but i believe it should be 14. its a way of getting teenagers out of their houses and off social media, and getting them use to the world and how it runs at a younger age so they are even more prepared for when they have finished schooling and have to work.
teenagers rely on their parents and carers to provide for them and buy them whatever they want. being in paid work means they have the money to buy themselves the newest clothes or whatever they please.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is already legal for 14 year olds to work within certain limits. We are therefore not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition if you would like these rules to be changed.
