Okay, so today is my birthday. I am turning thirteen and I am sick. Yes, on my birthday. And my 13th birthday of all of them. Anyways, normally on like my families birthdays, we normally have like a cake and at least one gift, you know to celebrate. Well, we do that normally EVERY birthday but today I woke up expecting it and there was NOTHING! All that happened was I got a "Happy birthday!" and that is about it. I mean I know we are having money problems but we were having money problems when it was my brothers and sisters birthdays and they got something. I mean I am just sad. I mean my big 13 and I have nothing. I am so sasd and I am trying SO HARD not to show it but I mean on your thirteenth birthday didn't you get something? I mean somthing? I mean My family and I were going to go shopping but I doubt it now. I mean I am really upset! I don't really know I can cheer myself up and I am not sure if I have that right to be mad. Please talk to me.

First of all, relax!! The day is not over yet and you may have something coming to you. And, if you receive nothing at the end of the day than that is when I would calmly say to your family that you were very disappointed you were not thought of and it really hurt your feelings. Do not flip out, because this is the one day that is only for you, it is what you make it. Remember to gift yourself with happiness and do something that you love doing.
Happy 13th Birthday!

I'm sorry to hear that and I know that at your age birthdays do mean a lot. But be appreciative of the fact that if nothing else, you have your family with you. At least there was someone to wish you on your birthday. There are a lot of kids out there without a family and they may not even know when there birthday is. So be thankful for what you've got. May your next birthday bring you smile and happiness.

Happy Birthday Sweetie! Sorry you are sick. Don't count your eggs in your basket just yet. Your parents may be waiting for a special time of the day to give you something. Or maybe they want to take you shopping so you can buy something you really like. Why don't you just go ask your Mom. So what did you get me? That way you don't have to make yourself sicker thinking about it. I know you feel like they let you down but I am sure they have a good explanation. You are most probably the apple of their eye and would do nothing to intentionally hurt you.

Yes you have a right to be mad. And sad.
I've never had a birthday party. My brother got parties and went to Disney and Universal Studios for his birthdays. Bummer huh.
Dont worry. Its your day celebrate it how you want. Sorry they didn't give you anything but I bet if you let them know how you feel they'll do something big for your 16th. Thats the cool one. Turning 16. I'm away from my family at the moment and on my last birthday all I wanted was a hug from my mom. Thats what made me sad cause I didn't get it. Dont worry you'll have more birthdays.
Oh. Happy Birthday Sweetheart. Hope you have many more.

Oh sweetie!! Well, happy birthday to you in case noone else remembers. My dad hasn't bought me anything for my birthday since I was ten or eleven, but over time I have come to expect..well, nothing. Honestly, I would wait for now and in a couple weeks (or a few days if you can't help it) come forward and tell your parents exactly how you feel. Being thirteen they should be able to give you a reasonable answer to the what's and the why's. I'm hoping that they are actually planning a huge surprise as I type.....

Well, you have the right to be mad if your siblings get something and you didn't. you also have the right to be sad, but there will always be other birthdays (especially sweet 16) in which your parents can give you gifts. Who knows, maybe they'll make up for not giving you a gift by giving you two gifts for your 14th birthday. Maybe they'll give you your gift and cake later. You don't need to be upset. You'll get what you want.
Happy birthday by the way. I'll give you a gift. *gives you a nice kiss on the cheek and a hug for your gift*

aw sweetheart 1st of all the day is not over yet. But dont get ur hopes up high. I came from a family with no money once myself and u know it is a lil bit disapointing sometimes but u need to realize that u have family who love you and money is not love. What if something happened to ur mom tmw and u wasted today being mad at her over something materalistic? I know when a person turns 13 its sopposed to be great so i can understand being sad. Try to make the best of it though play cards with ur family or something and try to have a lil fun. Big hugs and happy birthday!

Hey, how much time is left in the day for you??? Maybe there is a big surprise planned for you. Don't be down until tomorrow when you still haven't gotten anything. If you still didn't and it still bothers you, just say, "I'm not trying to be greedy, but I don't understand why I didn't get anything for my birthday. Especially my 13th birthday. My 13th birthday is special for me, but it didn't feel special." Try something like that. Happy 13th Birthday and hope you feel better.

I would like to wish you a great Birthday, no matter how you have to spend it, Good things are going to come your way, concentrate on your school work, that is your key, to be all that you want to be. Aim high, and set goals for your self! May be when you get better, your family may take you shopping. If not it is not the end of the world. You will be okay, just hang in their.

One can always be mad or sad. You control how you feel. It is reasonable to be disappointed about your birthday not be celebrated in the manner you expected.
Consider this, you are somewhere with electricity and have access to a computer. That in itself is more than most folks have on this planet.
You have my wishes for happiness and if it helps I am on a diet and could not have some cake if there was one. That is hard for me.
