advice
I'm 13/f and I live in Texas. My mom is starting to make me use my own money to buy clothes and cosmetics. The problem is, I have no way to make enough money. My mom says I could do work around the house, but she pays me SO little! Say, $1 to do the dishes and 50 cents to water the plants outside. I used to get an allowence but ever since my parents divorce, money is tight (my dad actually makes a lot of money but he's kind of selfish and will no longer give my mom the money to give me an allowence) so I don't get it anymore. I have tried babysitting by passing oout flyers, but no one even called me; my mom says I'm too young. What should I do??? I REALLY need to find a way to earn some money...the only way I get it now is when my grandparents give me an extra $5 bill sometimes when I visit(AFTER my mom tries to persuade them not to!)HELP!!!
You aren't too young to babysit. You just don't know how to get the word out. People dont want to leave their children with some random person they find on a flyer they want to leave their children with someone they know. If you know some people with younger children, ask the mom&dad if they would like a night to themselves and offer to babysit. Also ask around your neighborhood if anyone needs any odd jobs done. Ask some old couples if they want their house cleaned or fence painted or somthing. About the makeup, th3skyisfalling needs to chill out for one thing. You don't NEED makeup but maybe you want to look nice :) go to the local pharmacy/drug store and i bet you could find eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and lipgloss for under 15 dollars. But don't decide "I NEED NEW LIPGLOSS EVERY WEEK!" The makeup you buy should last you quite awhile, it won't be the end of the world to use it for a month, maybe two, until you flat run out of it. Now for the clothes, I'm pretty sure anyone can look nice without spending a fortune. Hollister, Abercrombie, & American Eagle = EXPENSIVE! Try to avoid shopping there regularly or you only come out with like, one t-shirt and a bracelet :]. Try thrift stores, try and create interesting, pretty outfits. Thrifting is actually very fun. Spend the money wisely. Goodluckk.
