Well, I had to start buying my own school clothes at 14. And if I ever wanted to go anywhere or do anything I had to pay for it. Kind of hard when you are 14 and have no job! Even when I was 16 I wanted my license. Well, I had to pay to get it but I couldn't get to work without it. So my mom says, "get a job" but she won't take me to work, what? So, needless to say that didn't work out too well. I didn't get my license until I was 18. I had moved out once when I was 14, they made me come back then I moved out again when I was 17 and for good when I was 18.
Anyway, point being it could be a heck of a lot worse. I didn't have a trust or savings to fall back on and had no way to get to work

plus my friends, god bless their hearts, paid for me everytime we went to like a movie or something like that. I hated it and it made me feel like scum so a lot of the time I just didn't go anywhere, but they usually made me. Now I don't let them pay for anything everytime we go somewhere! They get mad, but now they know how it feels!
