Quote: A paper boy or girl would be the first place to start as the previous person said, but my suggestion would be to study a bit harder in school, for a 14 year old your spelling could use some help.
I too was a bit suprised at Jasons spelling Anne, then my daughter pointed out to me that this is how many of the teens speak together when online, a different language from ours. But I give the lad credit..it was a genuine appeal. Lets hope he`s lucky.

I think, if anyone was to communicate to a mixed age forum, they should use the type of spelling and grammar used by most people.
It does not give a very good impression to future employers if a job applicant has poor spelling and grammar. If someone has problems with their spelling and/or grammar they should ask someone to help.
There is, of course, a spell check on this forum. Many of us make the odd mistake in typing a post but the general level of grammar is good on the Archant forums. Jason, of course, is not the only one who posts with spelling mistakes - there is another person who has put on a number of badly spelled posts and no-one has said anything.

I agree his spelling and grammar are appalling - which is perhaps more an indictment of the current state of British education than anything else.
However, the boy did have the initiative to post on the forum and make a cogent case for his age. I suspect he has a latent talent and drive much needed by this country. He might go far with the adequate mentoring.
Oh and Kenneth who do you think you're writing to? The Queen? For your information, we are in the 21st Century!
And the point is?
I'm a bit disappointed by the attitude of some of the people here!
It's tough when your 14, I remember, I think until your 16 there are restrictions on how many hours you can work, so a paperround is about the only thing you can do! Fair play to you Jason for your initiative, I only wish I could help, sometimes you just have to keep trying by yourself!
Yours is the kind of attitude that gets you places! Nevermind about the typing or grammar skills, whilst they are important its not the be all and end all of everything! Some of the UK's top businessmen and women dont have the best grammar or spelling! Not everything today is like it was 50 years ago and thank goodness! Times change, try and realise that this is the 21st century!!!
Isn't it wonderful that at least two of the posters' on this site, seem to know we are in the 21st century?
It is a shame, though, that neither of them have much of a grasp of English language usage. It must be a 21st century thing!
Well, never mind, someone has to serve the french fries and collect the rubbish.
norfolk_steve thanks for actually giving us teens some credit! However, as for you Kenneth, yes someone has to serve the fries and collect the rubbish and that someone won't be me. For your information; I've been fast tracked and am taking my english and german GSCE's early. Looks like your not the only one who can 'grasp' the english language.
Also i would like to say i have nothing against bin men or fast food workers. Not everyone can be as perfect and intellectual like my friend Kenneth here.
^^ The above comment Kenneth is known as sarcasm. Although you may not be familiar with it as you seem to take everything so seriously. Here's a definition:
Sarcasm is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, situation or thing. It is often used in a humerous or ironic manner and is expressed through vocal intonationss such as over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words.
Is that good enough for your high expectations Kenneth?
Just checking, Keeley, when you wrote; "Looks like your ...." Did you mean to write; "It looks like you're..."
Also, when you wrote "Humerous, did you mean to write "Humorous"? I believe Humerous is something to do with funny bones ;-)
Thanks for your input. Keep up with the fries.
And as for those GCSE's, I understand they give those away in cereal packages these days.
