The advantages of having a job at 16 is first you will have an edge to your co-ages because not all 16's do not do this responsibily in their life, second you could have a training in every tasks that you may apply, third you will learn discipline and the value of money, fourth, you can put this experiences in your resume at the time you were applying for your dream job in the future and fifth, you will be more responsible and mature in handling important things in your life. But the advantages of it are, first, you will get somehow shocked or somehow unready for having a job at a young age, second, you will somehow get distracted from your studying because you get to have another things to be work for, third, having a big responsibility at a very young age, fourth, your physical health, your time for sleep or relaxing, will be set aside, and fifth, working at sixteen could make you feel outsider or not "in" with your co-agers because instead of being with them you still have to work.

The law most likely says that you cannot. Often times, you must be 18 or older to find a place to live or have utilities. Then most places have a credit check...odds are that you have none.

I don't think so. I don't think one should be allowed to do a bunch of the things that are legal at 18...Voting, Smoking, Entering the military.. I think that at least when your 21 you are mature enough to handle these kind of things.

You wont have a heart attack until you are over fifty.  Try to work on your weight and definitely kick the cigs.  Now you are young but you will regret not taking care of yourself when you are 40.  Good luck and hang out with slim, fun loving people!

Depends why you are using the ID. If you are using it to defraud or cause harm then you are comiting fraud. IF your not causing any harm, i.e. it's for novelty purpouses then that's usually fine. As for buying drink or cigarettes underage I'm not too sure, but being that you'd be under 18 anyway or you'd use a real one you wont get into a lot of trouble. ultimatly if someone challenges you and says they will tell the police or something whats to stop you from just walking away? Not that anyone would get so upset about it anyway.
