So you will be taking high school classes, being a paid intern, and working at a full-time job somewhere.

What State are you in? I know a bit about massage therapists. You're 16, right?

Just so I understand - you're walking in with no education the subject, as an intern? Not a student like the rest of the interns?

Why do I think that's a total line of bull. You can't have a license for that until you are an adult... something you are 2 years from chronologically and about 17 years from in maturity.

THe Bull S*** Alarm is now ringing full volume...

Hell the judge will likely throw you in jail for contempt right after your first lie is exposed. IF you ever make it to a courtroom.

Hard to believe an intern makes $20 an hour. Usually it's very low wage simply as a means to give someone a chance to learn a trade or business. We always had interns at the library, and they made virtually nothing--were there to learn, not to get paid. I interned twice as a counseling student and didn't receive a cent.

Why on earth would a massage parlor pay you to learn?

I am a massage therapist student and I will be working part time fast food when I am an intern if its is necessary, Yes I understand what I am trying to do and its pros and cons so stop with the young comments and the maturity comments. If you are so mature, unsubscribe and stop leaving comments because the hate is unnecessary. I realize I'm taking on a lot but you don't understand what I've been through to need this.

Please let me know more about the program - a paid intern in your State is allowed to have physical contact with clients when the intern is not of legal age and is not "fully" licensed.

Really?

This gets better and better!

It's a Massage Therapist Program, not a Massage Therapy Program. Want to guess how I know?

One of my stepdaughters is an instructor in California!

- with a pork chop tied around her neck.

What kind of "massage"? Now you've got me wondering.

Once again hate is unnecessary, I'm looking for help so if you don't want to help then unsubscribe and stop leaving comments. Thank you

Just so I'm clear on this - my husband and I paid for 2 years of Massage Therapist School PLUS books and additional courses so his daughter could become a Massage Therapist and the whole time she could have taken a class (or maybe not even a class), made $20 an hour and started work when she was 16?

Okay - who do I sue to get my money back.

If my stepdaughter is reading this - and you know who you are - call "home" IMMEDIATELY!

Aren't you guys adults? Maybe you should stop mocking people and actually try informing them if you think they are wrong. And you say I'm immature

Ok, lets start this over. From what I get from all the posts here (all threads have been merged) we have an OP that claims to have been thrown out of the home of their legal guardians and is living as with a former teacher as an unpaid housekeeper in exchange for housework. The OP claims to be getting emancipated soon. And wants to sue their legal guardian for damages to school property and money they loaned the guardian. OP seems to have a 'tude, but maybe deservedly so. So I'm going to suggest we cut some slack here and take this more seriously.

But there is still a lot of missing info here that we need to know. First, ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. Second, why do you think you will soon be emancipated? Have you actually filed for emancipation? If so, has the case been placed on the docket? Has there been any hearings yet? Third, who are your legal guardians now and what happened to your bio parents? Finally, is your school aware of your home situation and what happened to the school books?

You have to understand that your story has many holes in it. So we are very skeptical. And you aren't helping things with the 'tude. I'm going to give this a chance to start over and will remove any further comments on the truthfulness of your story until we can get more facts. But, by the same token, you have no right to dictate who can or cannot respond to your posts.

IM STILL A STUDENT I'm still taking courses, every massage I give is paid for so I can get experience while getting paid to do so.

What happened to high school?

High school? What happened to licensing? You can't run around putting your hands on people and calling yourself a Physical Therapist. I don't believe this for one second because I'm the one who did the licensing research for my "step."

No one can get insurance, workers comp or otherwise, for a 16 year old UNTRAINED Massage Therapist.

Thank you ScottGem
I am 16 I filed the paperwork and after talking to a lawyer and a judge I was told my case will be a short simple and will go through easily for emancipation. I am a paid housekeeper but my pay goes towards my shelter food and basic utilities. My legal guardians are my sister and brother in law who I have not lived with full time in almost a year (ive been in and out of the house) and neither will take care of me. Yes I have an attitude but I was looking for help and I get hate. Very bothersome. Anyway, my school does know of my situation but someone has to pay for the books that were damaged.

My licensing is done through a program that is done through a duel enrollment in high school

No one is hating you. We're trying to stitch your story together into a comprehensive whole piece of cloth.
