be bothered.
- Don't have time.
-
Don't know where to start

am not wasting my time doing something for free; I have to pay adult prices for
everything but can't do adult things so I need more money.

I have not got enough time as I work go to school.
-
I haven't had the opportunity.

to start volunteering soon. I have not had the time to in the past.
-
I offered to volunteer but was never contacted back about it.
-
I would like to but never got round to making inquires/signing up.
-
I would prefer to do it with a friend.
- I
would really love to volunteer though
- Never
hear anything about volunteering.
- No one
tells me, it's hard to find relevant information
- sporting
commitments
- We live in a selfish world
- Wouldn't
know what kind of adults I would be working with, e.g. good people
- You
have to reference and apply so it is time consuming and you feel that you aren't
wanted.
