I agree wholeheartedly. I was working a part time job in highschool to pay for my gas and other expenses, when I should have been doing kid things. Also as an early teenager I turned to online communities because there was no other way to interact with irl friends outside of school. It was too dangerous to ride a bike to a friends house (cars), I couldn't drive, and my parents were always working so they couldn't give me rides. I still needed some sort of social interaction though, so of course I turned to the internet.
