volunteering is one thing. You could say if you wanted paying you should have said. YOu have now gained enough experience through volunteering to get paid.
So move one, and get paid to do what you obviously enjoy. It is a shame, the farmer should not have taken advantage BUT look at what you have learned.
sometimes it is difficult to be accepted by a gang, especially so if you have not been included in the breaks and the "banter" (i mean included, not the subject of the banter) when you ventually become in such a position as the farmer (ie, some form of manager who directs how organisations go) you will remember this experience and not subject 14 year old volunteers to such a crap experience.
in 20 years time, you will look back on this and realise what you have learnt. HOWEVER, that does not mean people should take advantage of you. the fact you have done the volunteering, and joined this forum to raise the issue is commendable. take heart in it and dont lose heart
Definitely something I'll remember for the future, and there's always a silver lining to the bad stuff. At least I know what to look for next time
