I think better for her get a career let her had new experience career than sex or drugs experience. i believe and sure she will be learning something from real world as career and life is all about let her learn quickly better than sorry in the future who know!

Answer 2

13 is too young to decide on a career. A lot can change in the next 5-10 years. If you have no idea, why should she?

The important thing at her stage is for her to start thinking about the academic subjects she enjoys, the skills she has, the hobbies she likes, etc. She is at the stage where she is beginning to have choices in which subjects she studies and she should get the right mix of things she likes and things which are going to be useful later on.

At the moment there is a great shortage of science graduates so if she has any interest in science that would be a good thing to pursue - but it has to be her choice. Your parents and her teachers will be the people to advise her.

Answer 3

Well unless your younger sister is intending to go into the arts, or sport, (drama, music, drawing,/ atheletics running etc) etc than she is too young to have any clear ideas about what she wants to do.

16 would be a more appropriate age to be looking at careers on the basis of her mock exam results and then her actual results. Of course this may be different if you live in another country other than Britain. I gather career programmes are drawn up a lot earlier in Germany, Switzerland, and America.

But beware children today seem to grow up so quickly, I think she should be allowed to have her childhood without pushing an older decision making head upon her young shoulders.

Answer 4

Don't expect your sister to decide what she wants to do until she has experienced the world a bit, it takes a lot of life experience before you decide what is the right path to take. I am 25 and in my 2nd year at university. If I'd gone to Uni when I was younger I would have been doing the wrong thing, and would wither have dropped out or regretted it. Don't pressurise her into making a decision, if she leaves school and just wants to work in 'ordinary' jobs for a while until she makes up her mind what she wants to do, then at least she has time to learn who she is and what kind of things she is interested in doing, something we are not experienced or mature enough to do at as a teenager.

Answer 5

I really think 13 is a bit young to decide what to be when you grow up. You are changing your mind all of the time. If she has a talent that she is showcasing such as art, dance, music, love of children, etc., then she would probably know what she wants to do when she grows up.If she doesn't, then she needs to find herself in her teen years. She needs time to decide what to be so she won't be stuck in a job she detests.

Answer 6

I think she should not decide now. She is too young.
Anyway, a good thing would be to let her describe whatever she wants to do when she grows up, without messing it up with existing careers... afterwards you can adapt her needs to a career

Answer 7

People say it's too early but really it's not. If you start her training in junior high with some extra curricular activities you may be on the right track. There are some business clubs that she could get into.

Answer 8

Leave her alone give her 2 or 3 years its a bit early shes no where near mature yet

Answer 9

no way, she's 13!! she doesn't have to decide at least for another 2 years!
And then, she can always change her mind!! It wasn't until I was 20 that I knew what I wanted to do.

Answer 10

You should maybe concentrate on your own life. The only person you can change - is you!

Be an inspiration to your little Sister by doing - not telling.

Keep Smiling!
