Re: random question of the week

Say your going to a friends house. Go to the shops and come home with a notebook when your parents are out looking for you. Hide it and use it in your room.

Why can't you spend your OWN money?

Why? What's wrong? Do your parents think that if you spend a large amount of money, you will become twisted and corrupted and become a mass murderer?

I have an idea. Tell them you have an idea for a family outing to bond together, then rush to the mental clinic, tie them up and dump them in and lock the door. The doctors will do the rest.

Idea-pack your bags, get ready to run away from home. Get your bag, sneak out the door, buy the notebook and anything else you may want with your credit card(they pay for it  smile ) and then run.

Re: random question of the week

I didn't think they let under-16s have debit cards. I'm not that much younger than you, and I wouldn't be allowed. Shops are even wary of letting me pay for stuff with a gift card. o_O

Well, I have a debit card too, pretty much everyone in my school has it and we're all 13/14!
What's so bad about it?  hmm

I'm just surprised you're allowed. Are you in the US?
