I`m only 13 and my parents treat me like I`m 18 and they won't buy me ANYTHING! They make me pay for my clothes, my food when I go out to eat, staying at hotels for a family vacation, and basically everything. They won't even buy me a pack of gum! I'm only 13 and I can't really have a well-paying job and I already walk dogs but that can't pay for everything.. I can't even shop anymore because I don't have enough money for more then 2 shirts and as soon as I buy 2 shirts I have to save up for another 3 months until I have any money again.
It really annoys me because my friends always brag about how their mom took them to the mall and bought them 9 bags of clothes and they didn't have to pay. My parents haven't bought me any clothes since I was 11. My mom never takes me to the mall because she says "I don't like to drive and it's too far away." Yeah, the mall is literally 10 minutes away. I still have all winter clothes to survive in this summer because I have NO money to buy anything and my birthday has already passed.
Don't you think it's harsh to make a 13 year old pay for EVERYTHING including like gum and stuff?! The most I can do is walk dogs and it's not like they are punishing me for being a bad kid because I get straight A's and I'm never in trouble so it's not a punishment.. I think they are so harsh because clothes are a necessity and all of my friends sit on their butts and get everything handed to them and I`m trying to pay for everything and it's not going to work out.. I've already tried telling them that it's impossible to pay for my own wardrobe and food and stuff when my only way of getting money is walking dogs because my parents don't pay me for helping out around the house and stuff.. so how can I get them to lighten up and at least pay for SOME of my clothes and other stuff? because it would be helpful if they pitched in a little bit.
P.S if you think I should start babysitting to make money how do I bring this up with my parents?? and I ONLY want to babysit for my neighbors so should I tell them straight out I want to babysit or should my mom tell them? (link)

parents only do that because they want you to get ready for college. Your parents are acting a bit harsh but you should start baby sitting and you should tell your parents straight out.

I recently got very, very drunk and hooked up with my good friend's ex boyfriend. I am pretty sure he likes me as more than a friend and know he wants to go "further" with me. I'm seeing him twice this weekend, I'm going to be under the influence both of those times but am not sure what to do. I like him back, as a crush.
My friend got really angry when I hooked up with her ex (they only dated for a week), which I understand but I can't help how I feel for this guy. Should I just not see him, or should I do things behind my friends back? The answer seems obvious but it doesn't feel obvious because I recently got into a huge fight with that friend and I don't know what to do. Please help! (link)

well if it was for only for a week then you should tell your friend it shouldnt be that big of a deal. and if your going to be drunk or whatever than you shouldnt see him because he is probably only taking advantage of you.

Okay so i am having trouble right now...(obviously)lol okay so the thing is. Well all my friends are saying so many mean things about me and its not evento my face. I hear about it from pther people. One of my bff said that i wasnt really that pretty and i wore makeup to cover everything. I mean i think i am anaverage looking person ya kno? im not UGLY but im not BERAUTIFUL either. what am i supposed to do? They are saying really hurtful things (link)

If they were your true friends they wouldnt be talking about you behind your back. You should confront them and if you think they are lying have the people who told you and who feel comfortable in coming with you to your friends where they could say your friends told them all the mean stuff. people will always say mean things but when it crosses the line you need to know that being calm is apart of not stooping to their levels.

no your Ipod is not broken...after a couple of minutes it disappears. dont worry but if i were you i would take it to a store to get it checked out.

okay so i recently got my first kiss at 15(i know kinda late right butt...) and i liked it and all but i'm not dating this boy and if my parents found out they would freak so how do i let this boy know i like him but to limit on the kisses till the coast is clear with the parents and all????? (link)

Write this kid a note if it's hard for you to tell him yourself...for your parents let them know that you really like this guy and that he seems really nice. Talk to the kid and have him over for dinner so your parents can meet him and maybe that will cool things down. Parents are usually understanding when it comes to their kids liking someone. If your a hard-working person than your parents should understand. Just don't let this boy get in the way of your school work because that will make your parents feel like they have made the wrong choice and they could lose trust in you.
