your parent loses his/her job. you could help out by selling illegal dvds on the streets. what should you do? I would definitely help my mother out by selling the illegal dvds. If that is what it takes for my mother to get my job back or get even a better job i would definitely help my mother out. I would do my best to not get in trouble & get caught. But if i end up getting caught then i'll tell my name so she'll make sure i won't do it again.
