I am 16, it feels good to have your own money when other 99% of kids are busy with studies, playing the girlfriend boyfriend game and wasting their time on Instagram trying to click good pictures and the most importantly Having less knowledge.
Heck some girls are actually becoming mom at 17,18.
It's even worse in India. Atleast in America teens are hustling and trying to make it big. The number is also good but most indian teens are just not doing anything and playing pubg all day lmao.
It's thier choice anyways.
EDIT: just forgot to say most of them are forcing thier parents to buy expensive phones and bikes for them. I really hate it.
I am glad I never do it.
