Q: I'm a twelve year old girl and need cash...fast.
I owe:
$29 to my mom for not returning books borrowed from the library using her card
$6 more to my mom for breaking her compact powder (I'm clumsy)
$10.65 to library for books not returned
I also need a lot of extra cash because we're taking a trip in five days. My mom deprived me of $50 (birthday money I just got yesterday) because of the $35 I owe her. Add in all those expenses and that leaves me with... negative $90.35. ( I have $5) I also need to buy summer clothes (my closet is full of sweatshirts and long pants). Help!!!!!!! :(

it sounds to me you only owe 10.65 which you already have 5 dollars of. your best bet at your age is to stay away from the library if you cant return the books help elderly people at the grocery store takes there stuff to their car load it for them, mow lawns or weeding gardens. your not going to get a real job your way to young.

Q: i just filled out something online tog et information about online courses. I filled in my real address real number and real name. I never do this but for some reason i just did it today becasue i figured its for school. Well about 1 min after I sent it I got a call from the "university" I am finding it very awkward that I would get a call right away. The people kept asking where i "live at" I found them to be very unprofessional and did not disclose any informationa nd claimed that I did not send them any information. i am scared that they are some type of fraud. the school is CTU. I am scared and am wondering if they can do anything with my name address and numeber? And what i should do to make sure they do not get any more information! i have sent an email saying I did not request information and do not want to affiliate with them? Any ideas on what I should do, or if I am overreacting?

My husband and I did the same thing. honestly they will call again tell them you enrolled in a college already and you would like to be off their calling list. Then go to your community college or a near by university. ask them about their online courses. you know their 100% legit. good luck with school!
