Im not sexist or agest but Im an eighteen year old boy who has been out of work for 9 months.
I don't stand a chance against an 18 year old girl. Boys are known for 'messing about' and not doing there job to standard. This steriotype is one reason I find it difficult to get a job.
It's not impossible but very hard.
yeah well thats company discrimination based on age and gender which shouldn't be allowedIm not sexist or agest but Im an eighteen year old boy who has been out of work for 9 months.

I had it when I was at college yeah.
Yeah I get full payment but I don't need much of it because my schools like a 5 minute walk so no busses or nothing until I go to college which, when I do go to, even the money I get from them isn't enough and my mum ends up having to pay monthly for most of the bus cost anyway lol. I think the system is fair, there are people who genuinly deserve it but it doesn't mean that they use it for the purpose it's given to them which is why so many people think it's unfair. My mum puts most of mine into the bank and doesn't let me touch at all and saves for anything in future. There's only one income into our family and she's been off work too much ill so we get loads of benefits and some people try to say we're the worst because we claim as much as we can get :/ a little bit of help don't harm anyone.
Apparently it's only "chavs" and troublemakers who get EMA but the fact they're going back to school or starting college is proof enough some people are getting the money for the rightful case whereas most the ones I know just drop out of everything so it's pretty justified for some of us, not saying everyone but some people deserve it so it's unfair to say everyone or no-one gets it. There's a reason why people with so much money don't get it and the argument that "doesn't mean our parents are going to give us money" is so flawed because that's the decision of all parents and not the government's, I'm sure they might pay for your college at least, they can afford it if they have that money otherwise it's tough **** really.
Why do people who don't get it complain anyway? It stops at £31,528 annuanly for the requirements, we probably just about make a third of that for the whole family in a year, some people are really ungrateful:S:S

Im eighteen, why should my parents give me money? Im old enough. And if I was given ema I would carry on at college. Some people do 'sponge' off the goverment I don't know what kind of situation your family is in so I can't and won't comment on it.Yeah I get full payment but I don't need much of it because my schools like a 5 minute walk so no busses or nothing until I go to college which, when I do go to, even the money I get from them isn't enough and my mum ends up having to pay monthly for most of the bus cost anyway lol.

I think 75% of EMA is used to buy drugs and alcohol. All the people I know blow there money on nights out.
"Very rich" people send their kids to private schools and colleges.But some just bloody abuse the system which ****** me off. I think Rich ppl, when i mean rich ppl i mean very rich - They should pay for thier kid to go to College, at least the gov can use the money and spend it on other departments which can be put to better use.
But saying that, if i was rich, i wouldn't want to pay for my kids to go to college, so ye, it's a toughie.
No :@ So annoying, cause just because what my dad earns, I cant. It's not like he'll give me £30 a week :S
