Try finding a new job. Get a job at Starbucks or something. They at least have benefits. Or just work part-time, that way you won't feel like you're missing out on anything.
Don't just quit and live off your bf's parents. It's always good to have some of your own money in your pocket, also I'm sure they'll respect you more that you have a job otherwise they may see you as the freeloading no goals gf that their son lives with...

I would find a new job. In the mean time go to your supervisor and tell them that you need to cut back on your hours due to school. You don't have to be specific. Tell them you can work 3 nights a week and one weekend shift. Then on the nights you are off look for something else. Also check the regulations in your area, they might be breaking the law by scheduling you 7 days a week.

First of all....I'm glad you are still in school....that's great news!
Secondly, you don't have to eat there...you can pack a healthy lunch....
Third, you shouldn't be living with your boyfriend at 17, and his parents must be out of their mind!
Aside from that, it sounds like you have made some adult decisions for yourself considering you have chosen to live with your boyfriend at 17. I would suggest that you suck it up, because I work 12 hour days as do alot of adults, and I'm sure we miss alot.....however, if you insist that you are working too many hours, I would suggest looking for a new job. Perhaps you could look into something that might offer you some type of permanent opportunity after you graduate high school.
I wish you the best....

1st of all pack a lunch, and don't you serve salads? 2nd thats life!! working week after week and on weekends. if your still in high school, you have more work than that to look forward to and if your going to college then you are working towards something different anyway so no worries. but dont ever quit because you miss your play time. this will get you ready for life. if you want to leave there, find something else thatyou like first and then quit!!

Find a new job then or go take some college courses.
Quitting your job so you can stay at home and hang out with your friends isn't going to teach you responsibility.
"...the money is ok" probly has something to do with the fact that you are helping to bring in some of that extra money.

No, stick with it. I know it is not easy, but you do not want to be totally dependant on someone else. If your boyfriends parents are willing to support you, save the money you make from your job so that you can eventually get out on your own. You have limited options due to your age. Quitting your job would limit you more, I think.

Leave McDonalds and get a job at Old Navy or anywhere else fo that matter. Heck you know In&Out burgers pays you 9.00$ hr so get out there and get out of the rutt.
You are 17 and almost an adult (I did say Almost), get out there and look for something better to do.

Just look for another job! Read the classifieds at night. Take a sick day and go fill out some app's. You should have another job before you quit the one you have. It may suck, but it is still money coming in. Good Luck.

yes, you should get a better job that has a future and do something you like, but dont just quit and do nothing, you do not want to have to depend on someone else for your needs ♥
