Hi, well me and my mom had a fight... I had nothing but dirty laundry to wear today and some hideous walmart clothes that even I, didn't pick out. Shes a 'bus driver' and she has 4 pure bred bull terrriers that SHE imported despite our scant christmas and birthdays.... we have to live in a shack that is practically destroyed by her dumb dogs.... She is a divorced 'single' working parent, but even then, she got 10000 over the summer plus 1000+ twice a month... not only that but her 'busdriving' rakes in about 200 a week. How can that bitc h do that? She expects me to wear her hideous walmart clothes for school and I won't. I get very good grades and I'm in all honors classes... I expect highly of myself and walmart clothes don't cut it for me. I'll be self conscience all day... how am I supposed to consentrate like that? Any help would be appreciated... she also refuses to get a better job because she likes the 'freedom'.... Jobs aren't supposed to be enjoyable...

I tell her ALL the time... "mom don't buy me walmart/target clothes I won't wear them." what does she do?! She buys it... Then I tell her, "mom why do you waste your money buying me this sh it?" and thats when it gets into a argument... I'm the worse dressed kid in my class and I resent it. I'm not some 'I don't care' loser like her... I'm actually NOT going to put my own kid through this.

Can YOU get a job of your own? Then you could buy whatever you earned?
This may not sound good, but just think about it... what if you were able to go to like Salvation Army or Goodwill or somewhere. Their clothes are VERY cheap, and no one but YOU would know that they came from there. Your friends would have no idea where they came from, and I have seen lots of name-brand stuff in there (I have bought Gap pants, some Polo shorts, etc. in there).

While by what you are saying, it may not be right... but then what is wrong with you... get a job and buy your own clothes, make something out of yourself and learn to be a better person them your Mom. May not be easy but take a bad time and make it a good time for yourself as not one is going to make life easy if you don't help yourself.
Note: With your attitude you have a big problem.. now I understand why you Mother won't do anything for you. So your life will be a big problem for you... but you won't understand that, will you. If clothes make you that much a better person, you still have a problem. you are a good person or just what you sound like in your comments. Worthless!!

I used to get teased besides for donning Asian branded clothing from small Asian shops while i grow to be youthful. i began out saving as much as purchase branded clothing separately at sixteen 12 months previous. once I hit 18 I understand maximum of my clothing have been the two torn, diminished, stetched or long previous(parent possibly gave it away). when you consider that then, i might in no way purchase clothing well worth extra advantageous than $50 greenbacks for a shirt or pants... it is a criminal accountability, it does not do any solid. as quickly as you attain approximately 18 and you desire to influence human beings consisting of your seems, i think of your physique parent might count the main. (looking in good shape with nice build) There are billionaires who generally placed on low priced clothing too have self belief it not.

if you want better clothes, get a part time job so she has no say in what you wear or buy. suggest she give you a gift card or cash for clothes; less imagination involved, but you get what you want. not all wally world clothes suck, but i get it. also, your clothes should not determine your focus at school. there is always someone worse off than you. bottom line? make your own money to buy what makes you happy. you're going to need to get a job eventually, why not now? hint: try for a job at a clothing store.

so just how old are you??
Old enough to do your own laundry. right?
Old enough to take back the clothes( with tags attached ) to Walmart. exchange them for cash ands see how much clothes you can by at a higher price store. right?
But not old enough to appreciate that fact that your mother is supporting you and putting food and clothing and shelter for you.. right??
My advice.. quit whining.. or ask you dad for clothing money...
Don't like her buying you clothes,.. then go shopping with her and point her to a different place...
Just be thankful that she is buying you clothes new and not from the second hand shop.
And have you asked her why she won't do your working papers?? she might have a valid reason..
And FYI , honey, most people do find their jobs enjoyable...

Ok i know what you are talking about my family is in a budget also. But here's something to think about. Walmart's clothes are about $10 a peice or somewhere around that range. I used to have to do that also but talk to you mom and tell her to checkout ROSS and MARSHALS they have really nicee clothes for the same price. I got a summer job and didn't earn much money just about 200 dollars but i shopped at ROSS and MARSHALS and WALMART i like walmart's shirts but not so much their pants. so just talk to your mom about ross and marshalls okay? good luck ( : oh and by the wayyy your mom is right about the job thing your supposed to find one that you enjoy and like. well i hope my advice helped you!

There are jobs you can get without working papers. Babysitting, paper routes, dog walking, etc. If you want better clothes, you are going to have to find a job and get them yourself. There is no other answer.

So do your laundry. As much as there is a better lifestyle that you would like to become accustomed to, your mother isn't obligated to provide it.
As long as you keep making excuses and blaming others for your responsibilities, you won't get anyplace.

high school stress, heh, just wait-you will realize high school really is the best time of your life, no bills to pay or anything to really worry about, just do your homework, go to school, do your stuff at home, you wont be able to function in society if your main whining complaint is walmart clothes and you are feeling so stressed out already

Why don't you get a part-time job to buy the clothing brands you like?
