I've never heard 'freeter' before. For someone that works part-time, I've heard them being described as a 'part-timer'.

At the risk of showing my influences, freeter has become a word I know the meaning of previously. One of the characters in the "Kaicho wa Maid-sama!" anime is described as a freeter, with the subtitle note explaining what it meant. Unfortunately for you, she is not here. "Ride for ruin, and the world ended!"

If that was an English word, my teacher didn't ask me what it was. Thank you, JamboP26! If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask. I  YamaP

this is wikipedia version about "freeter"
I must admit I have never come across it before. Freeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I guess its like saying FREE-TIMER meaning not working-- just working part time. some peope do many other things in their free-time. Such as doing hobbies and having fun or volunteering etc. Our language is changing constantly-- with a lot of AMERICAN influences and of course with texting onmobiles-- which is like shorthand-- that is also changing our language as I suspect it does elsewhere as language is living and changing constantly. My gr children use many expressions that I don't understand.

I don’t understand what you mean. Freeter has become a word you know the meaning of previously? You mean “freeter” means “a person who works part-time”? You’ve got to know that in some anime films? Really!! I didn’t imagine it. If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask. I YamaP

This is how Google has defined "freeter": define:freeter - Google Search Quote:
Since Google and you agree with one another, you won't have to write about the explanation of "freeter", but if you want then feel free to do so.  This is a new word to me, and as the definition states, it is a Japanese expression, so it's no wonder that it's appeared in anime and required sidenotes for clarification. EDIT: Whether "freeter" can be used in formal speech or writing is still unclear. Since your English teacher couldn't understand it either, you should just save it for informal occasions, like this - in a forum. For instance, "Hi guys, I'm a freeter," which incidentally happens to be true. ^_^ If your teacher asks you again, quote the internet's definition. There's no such thing as happy endings, for when you find true love, happiness is everlasting.

I've never heard of 'NEET' either. Here, we use the term 'Jobseekers' for people 'Not in Education, Employment or Training', mainly because the benefits you get when not in work here is called 'Jobseekers allowance'.
