Sad, in all sorts of ways.
I used to help people carry their shopping, but now they think you're going to run off with it.
And if you so much as say' Oh what a pretty little girl / nice young boy you have', they think you're some kind of pervert.
...I offered an older lady a ride at Supercuts today (was getting my girls hair cut, she had been sitting for an hour waiting on her ride) and she acted like I wanted to murder her. I hate that we have to be so paranoid these days about kindness. I seriously almost told her I have been FBI clearanced and that my fingerprints were on file with the state...lol

I still like offering, plus being an old lady plus living where I do, folks here are much more open to allowing you to help.

What I really love is seeing one of my children stepping up to offer somebody.

I'm so upset.
I really want a bike and I found a really nice bmx. There's just 1 problem: it's £206.

I have no money as I am a teen and I spent all my birthday and Christmas and pocket money mostly on spud. I currently have £0.

My parents refused to pay and said I'll have to work for money.
They said they would pay £10 a week for me to walk the dog every day.
I get £10 every three weeks pocket money. That all adds up to 4 months work!!!!

If it takes me 4 months then I would have missed summer and I wouldn't be able to go out all the time on it :( :( :(

Any ideas how else I can make money?

Can't you persuade your parents to buy the bike and then work off the debt?
Tell them they can keep the pocket money too.
Or go to the bank and get a loan with your pocket money and work plans.

They won't believe me if I say I will pay it off.
I don't have very good history with paying money back. I forget until they give up waiting lol.

You always have to pay your debts!! No if ands or buts!!

How about pet sitting for your parents friends? Send out an email to all of them that live close.

Babysitting? Do you like kids? The sitters around here make $10-15 an hour.
