should i quit my first job?

i’m a 17 year old high school student that had been working at a tutoring centre for the past few months. this is a minimum wage job i only got for some extra cash and my main priority is school. im thinking of leaving because i really hate my boss. she gets mad at me when i ask questions which has led to lots of problems. we have a colour coded system that indicates what homework we’re supposed to mark but it’s really confusing. i still don’t understand it and i’m only getting by because i follow the colours my coworkers mark. i’m too scared to ask her to explain the system because she has yelled at me about it before. she said that i should learn how to read (i learned how to read from her centre). i can’t ask my coworkers because 3 of them don’t how it…


i’m a 17 year old high school student that had been working at a tutoring centre for the past few months. this is a minimum wage job i only got for some extra cash and my main priority is school.

im thinking of leaving because i really hate my boss. she gets mad at me when i ask questions which has led to lots of problems. we have a colour coded system that indicates what homework we’re supposed to mark but it’s really confusing. i still don’t understand it and i’m only getting by because i follow the colours my coworkers mark. i’m too scared to ask her to explain the system because she has yelled at me about it before. she said that i should learn how to read (i learned how to read from her centre). i can’t ask my coworkers because 3 of them don’t how it works either and the rest just tell me what to mark.

also, one time my coworker and i wanted to know what the schedule for incoming students was and my boss got mad at me and told to go ask someone else.

i’m so terrified of making a mistake and i always get so stressed before every shift. i truly dread it. when i come back, i have to lie down in bed for 2 to calm down.

however, i want to know if this is something i should just push through. because of mental health issues, i get anxious easily. i tend to avoid things that worry me in order to stay in my comfort zone. i once missed 3 weeks of school because i was too anxious. is this just me trying to stay in my comfort zone? i don’t want to keep repeating this cycle.

Update: i quit. just sent in my 2 weeks. it feels SO good to know i won’t have to deal with this anymore
