Why am I so emotional? What do I do?

Question

I'm 16 and I didn't even do my hours to get my permit yet. I started working as a cashier at a food market about a month ago. Since then, I've worked until 10 at night on both school nights and weekends. I feel like I have no time for myself, schoolwork, my family or my boyfriend anymore. I've been noticing that I've gotten angrier and more emotional lately and ITS NOT my period. I hate working so late and I really want to stop but my dad was the one who knows the manager and he actually helped me get the job. I feel so bad for wanting to quit but this christmas break I have a huge chemistry project and an english research paper plus I wanted to spend at least one day with my boyfriend because I haven't seen him in a week. But I'm working all week and weekend except for christmas day and friday. I really don't need the job at all. Should I quit? My parents don't seem to care for my feelings, I don't know what to do. I'm surrounded by stress and labor please help!!!

Answer 1

I would at least see if you can cut the number of days of your working down to 2 or 3 days a week.

You are a good person and you know your limits. Talk to your parents and tell them how stressed you really are. It is depressing not to have time to yourself or your boyfriend. You are too young to have that much stress. Right now school is more important than your job. It is good to have one, but not work every day. If you feel you need to quit, you can, or just cut down your hours.

I will pray for you. Hugs to you and Merry Christmas.

Answer 2

Okay since you dad knows the manager try asking your dad to get you some new hours like 12:00am(DAY)-6:00 pm if your dad is mean then try getting your on your manager's good side and ask at the right moment.Now about your chem project bring it to work and when business is slow work on that work will add up when half-way done work on English when half-way done work on chem.keep this job till you find a back up job when you fill is time to quit go to that job (Hint:Ask to resurve for you for at least a day).Aboutyour parents they may act like that but they still love you get both something nice they'll thank you and act more happy towards you and show true feelings knowing they can trust you.When you get mad take a deep breath(may sound like they say but diffrent and better) and think about all the good things you have like a roof food clothes and so on.Hope I helped by the way im 11 =).

Answer 3

Awww I'm sorry to hear how stressed you are. I'm a teen too and I can relate 100%. Think about why you need the money for the job, or why you even need the job in the first place. Is it really more important than your happiness, your youth, your sanity, and your grades? You sound so stressed and you sound like you feel guilty because your parents got you this job and then you are just going to quit. But just explain to them that you thought you could do it but now you realize its not working out. You need time for yourself to enjoy your youth, to enjoy your boyfriend, and to do your best in school. Tell the manager that its not working out like you thought it would. Don't give him reasons, just let him now that you won't be able to do it anymore. If you can't give two weeks notice, at least give one week. Or ask him for some days off because of your projects.

Just figure out what is more important and go from there. You don't deserve to feel miserable, you deserve to be happy.

Answer 4

you shouldn't be working so many hours at your age.......school is a job.. you are there from about 8.30 till 3.30? and then straight to work again till 10pm? christ no wonder you're emotional!

it's great that you work but it doesn't need to be for so long. plus it's probably cheaper for this guy to pay you lower wages than an older person. don't quit if you want the money but at least work out where you can cut your hours down so that you have time for the things that you want to do and have time for you school work.
