Many kids won’t admit to outsiders the challenges at home. If outsiders knew the teenagers were supporting the family, social services could step in and remove all the children. Being with bad parents and with their brothers and sisters is for them something they have decided is the better than being separated in foster care.
And most 16 year olds, unless they are 100% on their own would file as a dependent.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
