No bad Or Cruel Answers

Answer 1

Wow, some of the answers you got were pretty cruel.

Well, the best you can do at the moment is accept that you do not have a financially wealthy childhood. This is more common than you might expect, but not acceptable. I think that parents should not have children if they can't afford to support them.. but that is really besides the point, because you are having to deal with it anyways.

Try to look at the positive side, like the fact that if you work hard enough you can move out and support yourself one day. If you do good in school, you might be able to go to college (they have grants and loans and scholarships to help you afford it) and make more than your parents are making combined! It is tough though, I know, so I would suggest trying to find a job over the summer or even during school, ask for 20 hours maximum while you are in school or else you will most likely be too tired to focus at school.

Another thing to do about your pants is to go to GoodWill with a few dollars - pants there can cost as little as 3 dollars and you can find ones that fit you. There are other places like the Salvation Army, they both have clothes donated to them so they can sell them cheap.

i'm sorry :[

Answer 3

How old are you, can't you work?

Answer 4

I spent 6 weeks in Nairobi, Kenya and a lot of that time was spent in Kibera Slum where over a million people live on 1 square mile of land.  There are no toilets and they have no fresh water.  Those kids would feel like millionaires if they had 3 pairs of pants to choose from!

There was a day when I would have made suggestions as to how to reason with your parents to get you more than you have, but after seeing how other children live......eating out of the garbage, going without shoes, families of 6 sharing a single room shack with no beds or sheets, my sympathy and compassion goes out to those children!

It's also good your parents have made it to the age they have....many of those slum kids lost their parents to AIDS when they were under 10 years of age.

Answer 5

You think you have a bad life?  Think about children living with constant hunger, in pain with physical problems and no way out of their situation.  You have two parents, obviously have enough to eat, look around you, there are LOADS of people with far more devastating circumstances than you.  Quit with the pity party, put on your big panties and get over it.

Answer 6

Try to save a little money and head to a thrift store. Or maybe ask your dad to take you.

Call around to a few churches also, they might have a clothing bank or a community outreach program that will get you some clothes.

Things will work out!!!

Answer 7

if your old enough you can get a job or find babysitting jobs and by your own.or talk to your mom tell her it bothers you or even talk to your dad about your mom

Answer 8

Umm Mamabear just because there are starving people in africa doesn't change the fact that he isn't happy with his life. Gah sometimes people are so stupid.

Anyway......

Alayah, What I would do if i was you, is get a job, any job, that way, you can pay for your own clothes and get whatever you want with YOUR money$.  

Answer 9

Start shopping at a second hand store. Ask the manager for a discount. You should be able to get high quality used clothes for probably under a dollar.

If you find the right boyfriend he would probably be happy to buy you clothes. I know I have bought cars and clothes for my grrls.

Answer 10

At least you have pants. Think about the kids and parents who can't even afford one pair of pants, let alone 3.
