Nervous
Hi, so I got on this website because I feel like I need support. It's a complicated matter, and for legal reasons I believe anyone who replies will not encourage me, but I'm desperate. I moved into the US only a month ago, it was a bold choice and there is no going back from this. I will be legal in a few months but getting that status will cost $$$$ and I need to make money to save up for it. Though I'm not here illegally, I don't really have a permit to work. It's possible to find jobs even if you're not technically allowed to work in here, but it's been hard for me and I've had no luck. I'm only seventeen, but I already got one offer to sleep with a guy for money (50 for a night? nah son). I just don't know what to do. I can't be a cam girl, which could be so much safer for me being pretty alone and defenseless in this big city, because cam companies all require SSN and stuff I don't have, plus I'm underage. So I thought "well, I could figure this out. I could try and start becoming a sex worker" but the idea sounds scary to me, because I'm alone and I can't protect myself. I don't know what to do. I'm a little bit terrified, to be honest, because I need a job desperately buy I haven't found anything and I'm beginning to become panicked. What do yall think?

Re: Nervous
You're underage. And you don't have documents yet. Letting the desperation for money get to you is going to put you in some dangerous situations. Think with your head here. Go on craigslist and look in the gigs section in your area, there are so many random things people will pay you for. Babysitting, being a hair model, cleaning jobs, pet sitting...there's so many things on there that will be 10x safer than selling your body right now. I don't even have a pair of shoes for $50 are you really going to feel good about yourself long term if you do that? Being a sex worker is between consenting adults...you're at risk for running into someone at the wrong time and either getting hurt or getting trafficked and stuck somewhere simply because you're young. With that being said, I'm a 21 year old sex worker in a legal situation, and once you turn 18 if that is something you want to do then at that time you can go check out the strip clubs in your area and ease into escorting or something of that nature. Be safe.

Re: Nervous
Don't do sex work while underage. nope nope nope. That's going to bring A LOT of trouble. Do baby sitting, cleaning/housekeeping, and pet sitting. People are always looking for those and most people I've worked with don't really check for IDs lol (might be different in your situation). Do you have any friends in the US?
Once you're 18 and get your legal documents then you can become a stripper or something.
