But I'm not sure they stay small. You might want to research this instead of asking a bunch of teenagers who know just as little about the topic as you do.

They also aren't generally very nice at all. They might bond well with one person, but be cruela and nasty to everyone else.
They live 20 to 40 years. Getting a monkey means you will have one for the rest of your life.
They are also illegal to keep in many states and countries. Even if they are legal, you must purchase a permit and provide the right home for one. Setting up an acceptable enviroment for a Monkey could easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. Not to mention purchasing a Monkey, which even on the smaller end will cost you $8000 or more.
Use google. Google 'pet monkeys' because you have a lot more reading to do before you should even bother looking at breeds. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
