Working teens It’s hard life being a teenager in Britain. Nowadays most children work at least some of the time. Some work in the summer holidays. Others do part – time jobs before and after school. It is illegal for teenagers to work full – time while they are at school. Teenagers can only leave school and start working full – time at the age of 15.
