Question

Hi, i am having an emotional roller coaster ride.. its like dis i am 17 years old and da one thing i want it seems like i cant get..and its a car.. i am really working hard in school and in every organization there is but it seems like my parents dont appreciate any of this.. i feel so lost and it seems like i don have any support.. What should i do??

Answer 1

I know you probably enjoy the organizations you're in, but have you thought about dropping them so you can get a job? Maybe your parents would help you buy a car if you were working and asked them to pay half if you pay half.

Keisha, maybe it's time to re-examine your position and learn some more about yourself. You can't control other people, your parents, a bf, girl friends, anybody. All you can control is how you react to the universe. Your choice. Now it sounds as though you are complaining because the universe won't give you a car. Obviously you can thank the universe for many other things...but I realize you want a car. There's nothing wrong with your wanting the car...but there is something wrong with spending energy on the negative thought of not having the car. So focus on what kind fo car you would like, picture it in your imagination, see yourself driving it. Do this focusing every morning and every evening, and in between times. Don't have any negative thoughts about it, just positive. Think "When I get the car", not "If I get the car". Then go to the internet site . Good luck.

When my boys were 11 and 13 we told them we would not be buying either one of them a car. So, they both went out and got jobs. Now that they are 15 and 17 they both have enough money to buy a used car but they both get around on their bikes or in the family car so they are holding onto their money for now.

Do you appreciate everything your parents are doing for you? Do you show them this appreciation? They may appreciate everything you are doing but even still a car for the 17 year old may not be in the budget.

Get off the roller coaster and start writing down a list of things you will need to do to get yourself a car.

Answer 4

Hello, I would suggest finding a part time job for starters and start saving up. Are your sure your parents dont appreciate the things you do .or is it that they may not be able to afford to get you a car.I have a daughter which is your age and she wants a car and honestly I cant afford it at this point. but I told her i would be willing to go half. why dont you suggest that to your parents. see if they would be willing to go half with you on a car.I know my daughter understands as she sees the struggles we go threw as a family just to survive. and i think Children now a days should also help to take responsibility in some of the things they want.it is in all reality not your parents responsibility to get you a car. it is yours .but if they by some chance do. look at it as something they did not have to do but did.and be greatful..

Answer 5

I know what your going through i have been there myself. To appreciate the things you have i say work for them yourself. My first car was a Datsun 200B not a gem but it did the job and i couldn't kill it. Didn't matter if it got dinted either. I would probably quit working for the organisations if they don't pay you, and find a job. If you really want a car you will save every penny until you get it. Your nearly a grown up now it's not your parents jobs to give you everything. Earn it yourself like i did. ; )

Answer 6

I remember those days!! having a car is very cool when you 17..I thought when I got a flash car and mobile phone that I would be happy...now I have those things and I want a flash house and boat....
Remember there are always ppl out there to help..you can get a part time job a save 4 a cheapie...
Maybe you parents cant afford to or they have bigger problems that are taking up thier thoughts..

Answer 7

dude Im going through the same $hiT, my best advise to you, talk to them make them feel bad that you dont have a car, when they leave somewhere call them and say I need a ride to my friends house or somthin in that sort, just make them get sick of taking you everywhere, its kinda working for me I went from no car to "you can only get a car for 7 000" if that doesnt work try sitting down with them and talking to them tell them that you need a car and ur sick of riding the bus to school, make them watch 40 year old virgin and in the middle of the movie scream "do you want me to be that guy" dude you gotta do work, make them feel bad for you

Answer 8

You just need to keep at it. If you were my daughter and I saw how hard you were working I would make a compromise maybe meet you half way. This of course all depends on your attitude and your families financial situation. If you have money for a down payment maybe they will help you finance.

Answer 9

I KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH , i went through the same thing.....all i did was started looking fo cars and found very nice ones but not that expensive...then i showed it to my parents and they like it to because of the price .....you should try doing that , this way they can see u really want one and are devoted to get one ...... First start with the cheap and nice looking then work your way up!!!

Answer 10

Ok, it's like dis, talk normal then people will quit "not understanding you." Use the words where theyre supposed to. Until then you'll have the same problem gangsters have had with their urbanized baby talk, they don't understand each other. Where do you think that term,"whatchoo say?" and "numsayin?" came from. Noone understands it, and neither do they.
Uh.... numsayin?
