    The job protections for minors thing should be taught everywhere. A few of my friends were talking about jobs they did in high school and they all made them do illegal shit like no breaks or staying later than they were allowed to, it’s so normalized to just not give a fuck about child labor laws

      Yeah, I took forever to get out of restaurants. I learned a lot of wrong stuff that shouldn’t have been acceptable at any age. I had no other basis, other than the weird looks I’d get from people when I told themI never got breaks, etc…
