I worked a number of near-minimum-wage jobs from the time I could find one at 16 years old and had no money whatsoever until then. I didn't learn to drive until my late 20s because I couldn't afford the mandatory lessons until I finally had a decent-paying job after graduating university. I didn't even eat three meals a day for most of high school and university since I couldn't afford it. I paid my tuition by working as a highly underpaid intern and delayed my graduation by years as a result. So enjoy your pity party, but keep your uncharitable assumptions to yourself. Labor laws don't govern how your parents treat you.
