Sweet sixteen, what should I ask for! (Reposted, with details and explanations)?

Question

My birthday is really soon and I don't know what I want. I'm going to see Carrie Underwood as part of my present from my mom, but what else should I ask for.....?

And then my sister was going to pay for me to go to new york & see another broadway play, but I don't want that this year cause thats what I got last year. I'm thinking I might ask for another Tiffany necklace or maybe Tiffany earings and a Coach purse. But I already have a few coach purses...

I might be getting a car from my dad, I don't really know though!

Give me some good ideas!

Nothing that I already have like cell phone, ipod, digital camera, or laptop!

Well last time I deleted this question because of the mean responses, I'm not rich. And I don't have life easy. My parents could care less about me. The only thing they've ever done for me was buy me everything I wanted. It keeps me out of their way and they don't have to deal with me. Trust me I would much rather have family that loves or even likes me for that matter, but I don't so this is all I have. Material things don't replace love, but my divorced parents seem to think so. They are so caught up in their lives to even notice I'm not okay. I'm bulimic and I cut so please everybody shut up about how easy my life must be.

Gift ideas only please! Leave all rude comments to yourself.

Answer 1

How about more birthdays to spend with your family & friends? How about not asking for anything,maybe if you remembered what families are for[love,understanding,caring,rememberin... not manipulating one parent over the other parent!! Did you ever think!!! What you birthday would be like??If you didn't have your dad???Or your mom???What if one or the other had passed away before your birthday??Then, what would you want for your birthday then??Maybe you should  think of that now before its toooo late for you to spend time, with them [they are not always going to be here for you], one day they will pass away then what? Aren't you going to feel alittle bad for manipulating each of them against each other? When all that time, you had the best gift you could ever ask for "your parents"!How about instead of asking for something, how about giving something instead??Like yourself,your love, your caring!!Happy 16th birthday to you, from me(granny 5)ask your parents if they will have a neat dinner with you, and go see a movie,and for your 16th birthday, just be a family!

Answer 3

I either want a water purifier or a handgun for my upcoming birthday, but I doubt you will be interested in either of those. Maybe suggest a weekend getaway with your family to some nearby touristy place. Oh, go whitewater rafting, that is so much fun! Or, plant a tree. That could be a fun and rewarding experience.

Answer 4

You have jewelry, expensive clothing, bags, etc. Why do you feel that you need anything else? I was happy to get a 15 dollar gift certificate to walmart to help buy groceries when I was your age. You need to start being a bit more thankful. In my opinion, you don't need anything else, you just want it.

Answer 5

Hey There,

I answered your last question (and put it on my watch-list), I don't think I was at all mean, but I'm sorry if I came off that way.

If you are getting what you say you're getting, and have what you say you have, then I think that it is un-neccessary to ask for anything else.   Is there something that you really truly want?  For example, I really truly want to go on a Mission trip with my church in December, but I can't afford it.  Is there something like that?

I'm sorry I've probably been no help what-so-ever.  And I'm really truly sorry that you seem you have it so hard.  I don't know what to say to help you, except that I'll pray for you, and advise you to get some help.

Answer 6

If you feel like all your parents do is buy you things to keep you out of their way, why not change the tables on them? Don't you want to spend more time with family rather than having materialistic things? How about asking them for a day in NYC with all of them? Maybe tickets to a show and lunch or dinner altogether. Or how about just a nice dinner out with just family. Someday you'll realize that all those materialistic things were a waste of time when you should've been trying to get real family attention from them.
