Money Troubles Prt. 2

Posted by: Glitz n Glam on January 15, 2011

Hey this is Glitz n Glam. This bad economy is not only effecting our parents, but its effecting us kids also. A lot of adults would read this is say,"What you need money for??? You dont have bills, you dont have to pay for gas, and you dont have kids to take care of." Well thats not the case here. The case is we want the newest and hottest clothes, shoes, and accessories. But the problem is, WE DONT HAVE JOBS. People and whoever made that law that you had to be a certain age to work jobs, feels that our parents should provide everything. And if you are one of those parents who wonder what we need money for then you may not see it now but when your child comes up to you and says,"Mom, I want those shoes," or,"Daddy can i have that pretty Louis Vuitton bag?" Thats when you realize it. When you see the price for the item and says $100, bet you want wish your kid had a job now. You then realize what we need money for. Why do you think we come up to you and ask for money to go to the mall, the game, the movies, or out to eat every weekend. I'm tired of asking my mom and dad, and worrying them about trying to go out every weekend and needing cash for it. I can't continue to ask for money for clothes, shoes and just be okay with it and not have the guilt feeling of taking my mom's and dad's money. We know that you give us allowance (well i dont get allowance) but it doesnt last. I used to $5 every other week or every week i think but that was when i was reallyy young. I realize that i need it now more than i need it then. I am 13 years old, I am a teenager. I have a life. I may not have my own house or car or i may not have bills to pay, but still i need money for clothes, shoes, food. I find that its becoming harder and harder for my parents to provide for me and i have a feeling that its time i provide for myself. So i think im about to fight for the law to change. I feel that you should be 12 or 13 years old or older to get a job. Not wait until you are 15 years of age. I'm tired of just getting $10 or $20 that im going to use in one day and not be able to invest in it. Its not only me spending my money quick, its my parents and others. I notice that everytime i get money (about $50 or $60) that my parents expect me to provide for everything. Things such as my hair when i get perms which is about $40 to $45 tooken out of that $60 i just got. I understand if i had an actual job, then i would be able to pay for that stuff. But spending and not being able to earn anymore until i can is not easyy. So please help us early teenagers find our wayy. Its not easy for us also. We are using our parents and they hardly give us anymore money because how the economy is. But we will find a wayy.                 -XOXO GLITZ N GLAM
