Is it bad if I havent had a job yet?

I am 18 years old and I have never had a part time job, is this bad?
No
Do some voluntary work in a charity shop to strengthen your CV. Paid employment should follow after a few months.

Completely normal. I'm also 18, never had a job either, I earn money from being a football referee which is more of a hobby! 👍🏻
I haven't either and I'm 19. I do volunteer though which helps my CV.

If you're not interested in getting a PT job I would recommend volunteering. It'll help you in the long run :yes:
No but personally speaking, I also didnt get a real life work experience until i was 19..something that i now regret looking back.
Being in a working environment really teaches you a lot of life experiences such sense of responsibility , financial literacy etc

no not at all! If you're worried then maybe apply for a job?
Not a problem. Unless you're struggling financially, nobody needs a job. It helps with applying for future roles and teaches you important life skills but no need to feel bad for not having one yet.

I agree.
How about doing some volunteer work somewhere?
