Read my profile for my location.
I have quite alot of ideas for people of my age,and in my region.
Because of my age,i have very little money,but at the same time ,i fear that my ideas would be 'stolen'.So anyidea i can patent it?perhaps for free?
I give thumbs up to everyone who answer.

Patenting your idea - whatever method you use - is relatively cheap. Patent enforcement is the expensive part. Especially is some multi-mational corporation "steals" you idea. The only way to get them to cease and desist is to sue, and they have deep pockets and high-priced lawyers on their side. It's the sad truth

First of all, you can't patent an idea - you have to have a working model of whatever it is. Then in order to patent it, you first have to do a patent search to be sure nobody already has a patent that you'd be infringing on. Then there's a ton of paperwork to do. And it's not free - there are mandatory fees involved.
It's possible to do it without a patent attorney, but would be very difficult.
See http://www.uspto.gov/
The above is for a US patent. Rules would be different in other countries.

This is the best place to start looking into a patent

actually, theres no cheapest way to patent ur idea, as u need to be financially strong, and ur ideas couldnt be stolen though, its all ur ideas into a project which u would present for a job? that would be stolen i guess.. so i would refer ya to show ur ideas to a rightful boss, i think u will have no problem in finding a good boss. with a right working attitude, =)
