friends and money
I started in a new school and I was really happy to make friends, and even though my friends are pretty nice (atleast to me...) they kind of take advantage of me. I buy lunch and they bring theirs, so they always ask for money and promise to give it back, but they usually don't. I was okay with it the first time, but a dollar every day adds up. How can I let them know that I want my money back, or how can I refuse to lend them money?

Simple. bring just enough money for your lunch. so then wehn they ask you for money you can honestly say your broke. you don't have to lie and they can't take advantage. As for the money you have alreasy given them, if you don't want to make a big deal about it then just let it go and consider it a lesson learned. other wise just bring it up as nicely as you can and hope for the best.

You need to be firm and stand up for yourself. Bring enough money for yourself. If they ask, say you spent it. If they ask on a regular basis, say your parents have lowered your allowance. It's that simple. They will soon stop.

Well you don't want people to use you for your money so you could always. . .
* start bringing your lunch so that they know you have no money
* tell them in a jokingly way it would be nice if they paid you backe or what happned to ur aloowane or did the money monster eat your money (wowww was that lame haha) but just joke not seirously so they dont think youa re making a big deal out of it
* say you only brought enough for yourself or you wneed it for soemthing else
* make them feel bad for you? i guess if your really desperate and say your mom or dad or whoever wants to save money for soemthing and you dont have much
*ask them for money once in a while and dont pay them back! see how they feel
good luck!
