I am with you all the way. It's bad enough seeing these teens in their standard uniform (jeans and white tees) all week long, but it ticks me off when they are soliciting for funds. Sometimes, I feel that some of these kids are trying to run a hustle because they've seen other people give to other organizations that are on the up and up. So frankly, I don't trust all of these kids.
What takes all is when these kids are dressed like they're going to the mall and soliciting for a "young businessman's organization for up and coming entrepreneurs".  I actually want to find their sponsors/advisors so I can give them a few choice words about not doing better by their charges.

Actually, the "young entrepreneurs" thing is one of the biggest scams going. These slimy management types run kids all over the country selling magazine subscriptions, candy, etc.
I don't know. I have seen schools pimping little kids as young as kindergarten to sell stuff for PTA. I don't see anything wrong with the car washes or part time jobs, but unless you have some legitimate printed material and identification, I am not giving to anything.
Kids need to learn to work at home, first, though. Nothing ticks me off like a kid coming over offering to mow my lawn when I know doggone well that he doesn't mow his mama's.
