A 17 year old kid shouldn't have to worry about supporting his parents imo!! But every teenager should have a job if at all possible!
Family is family, the entire family has to work together in order to survive. Yes a 17 yo shouldnt have to support the parents, but in order to keep a roof, food n cloths, sometimes it takes everybody. At 13, i used go to school, come hm, get my chores done, start dinner, make coffee for my dad so when he got up to go to work, dinner was ready, cloths laid out, coffee in his thermos n he hit the door for work, then i eould get my school work done n do it again the nxt day. Winter time, i had more chores, but my dad provided a roof, cloths, food in my belly. I did everything else to make it easier on him since he was the only parent i had. I wish i woulda done more for him. Hind sight is 20/20
