[PaulMacC]

Ok What do you do to raise money.

Why should he count himself lucky. If you don't get EMA it's for a reason.

How old are you?

[cocaine]

LMAO A FIVER?

I spend £1.34 (yes, to be exact) on a sandwich lmao.

[Alterate]

As I'm in college I do tend to spend around £5.00 when having luch as I usally go to the cafe but if your still In school I don't see how you can spend that much?

[Tumultuous]

that's entirely too much. what exactly do you buy with that?

[Nemo]

i spend 40-60p at break and £1.40 at lunch 40p-60p is like a waffle or a cookie or somin yummy. £1.40 is for the meal and a desert :P but damn u spend LOTS

[Ostinato]

Why should he count himself lucky. If you don't get EMA it's for a reason.

Because he is lucky to receive the money? It's as simple as that. It's not as though his parents cannot afford to send him to school as they have obviously managed for at least the past 10 years or so. Also, I highly doubt he would be spending all that money on school stuff. Most people spend that money on clothes or going out or something.

I personally think the EMA is completely unfair. Peoples whose parents are working are basically giving other peoples parents - who perhaps arn't working - money. Therefore, their kids can go out clubbing or buying clothes or whatever, whilst the rest of us have to get a job or something on top of our studies - jeapordising our school work.

I think everyone or no-one should get it to be honest. It just encourages people whose parents don't work to remain unemployed as the state is giving both them and their kids money - and it also encourages the children not to try to get a job as they get the impression they can constantly rely on the state for cash.

Ow yea of course, two fingers to the single parents who have struggled to raise there children for lack of money. Two fingers to the people who can't work. Your naive, just because you can afford to do what you want in life doesn't mean people receiving EMA can too.

[alexxxxx]

Can't work is different, not working is something else.

[Ostinato]

Eh no actually. I understand some people may not have qualifications and ultimately not everyone has the same opportunities in life. Likewise, some people may have health issues which prevents them from working etc.

I think cases such as mentioned are absolutely fine, and I understand that people like this need additional aid. Likewise, if say your parents were both capable of working and were but were struggling to support you then I think the EMA is a really helpful tool.

However, for peoples parents who are just too lazy to work - which in this day in age is mainly the case - and simply sponge off the government for benefits without any interest in receiving a job - I get angered.

Think about it from my point of view. My parents may earn more than £30 000 so I do not receive the EMA. However, I have an older brother and my mother is pregnant. Do you honestly think my family can afford everything we want with another child on the way and 2 teenagers? If so, then you are sadly mistaken. I do not get given money any time I want it.

If I want money for clothes, or to go out clubbing I need to earn it by getting a job or something. However, with my A-Levels I cannot afford to do so. So therefore, it irritates me how, peoples whose parents are ultimately too bone idle to get a job, children get £30 a week or whatever for doing the exact same thing as me - yet the majority of them go out and spend it on clothes etc.

If people can't work for a reason such as an illness or a disability or something, they have every right to get money.

The single mums and people who are fully able and well should get a part time job, surely a relative can sort out some childcare, and if the kids are going to school, I'm sure they can get a job then, and they shouldn't get the money.

If you give two fingers to people with illnesses and disabilities, you're one sick person. Two fingers to the people who could find time to work, fine.

My point exactly. I'm fully aware there is circumstances of which people cannot work due to illness or whatever. But for people who just can't be bothered getting out of bed in the morning and would rather take tax payers money aggravates me.

[Barkseh2131]

Is that off your mum and dad, or all together?
Because off my mum and dad all I got was an iPod, a few accessories, a few bits and bobs from the bargain bin and stuff.

For my birthday me and my twin sister got a Wii between us, a few clothes and a game.

If you think a PC, a Wii and a DS is not a lot...

A wii is alot.

And to have one for Christmas...

[samsaBEAR]

a wii is quite cheap for what it is if you think about it

[:alexxTURNER]

God, your a spoilt child tbh.
Omgz i got a nintendo DS, a nintendo wii and a new pc
for christmas, its not a lot.
If you don't think thats alot you are a greedy spoilt
child.
You get £5 for your dinner AND YOU SPEND IT ALL.
You seriously need to cut down on the eating and think
about the people who don't actually get any dinner.
Spend about £3 for your dinner and save the other £2.
You might think you dont get alot for christmas, but if you
were telling the truth about what you got.
It is alot.
So be greatful, you selfish little child.

exactly luke, I hate people that are so spoilt and they don't realise it because they've been brought up like that.

[DiscoPat]

I don't get a fixed amount of money a week, I just get it when-ever I need it..
Oh and about the EMA thing, I believe its a good thing as it supports the kid going college and kind of motivates them.

[edible]

I'll admit I get alot tbh and quite often..but yeah! Im thankful for it.

But &#163;25 a week + EMA? Thats just ungrateful, if your saying
"Oh all I got was a laptop, a Wii and Nintendo DS"
that young man, is greedy and OTT ungrateful..

I spent..like 90p on a sandwhich, 30p on a cupcake/drink or 20p on salad or fruit. And I get some toast in the morning which is like..20p?

really..get a grip, cos unless your schools proper expensive, your just greedy and you need to cut back, cos some people dont have money, some dont get food, some dont even have education or water.

You make me angry tbh.

[Energizer]

tbh, it sounds like you're just trying to show off what you've got, or you're just bare ungrateful. &lmao@ getting a fiver a day for lunch, i spend £1.80 on a baguette and a drink.

[sl4rtzz]

My dinner doesn't even cost that usually (how skanky that sounded but w/e)
Sounded like a right chipie lover :P:P jks

[crans]

i get £5 for lunch at school too, lol doesnt make you fat kid.

lunchs at schools do cost money..

hence if you only spend £1 you do you buy? a cake?

[CrabRacket]

I get £10 for a month? But I save it and skip lunch at regular intervals so I only have a drink or something.

I don't see you donating your money to them. Somebodys got to eat it otherwise it will rot anyway. For example, lots of food is wasted in Tesco's but they don't send it to Africa or other countries that need our support. So spending money that you have gained should make you feel guilty?

in Surrey, a sandwich is around £1.50-2.00 ';x at the average school

its been going up every year tbh.. :/

What? I would call that neglect. £10 a month? If your parents can't afford to give you money to get lunch speak to your school, because really £10 a month is not right.

Your right, £10 a day is good for me, if i had £10 a month well basically i'd go and beg on streets!

But ye lol, £10 a month? how much is your lunch? 30p a day?

[Foxes]

If i had &#163;5 to spend at school i would walk out of school at dinner walk to the local chip shop buy chips and something fishcake/sausage etc .. then go to the local shop buy a can of something dinner &#163;2.00 ish?

I sometimes do this when i go dinners for the week or the odd day and pocket the rest?

He gets £5 a day for his lunch, he got a computer, a Wii and a Nintendo DS for Christmas and he thinks he's poor. You've taken it completely out of context.

We've all shown we spend £1-2 on our lunch at school/college, except me, so here's mine:
A tub of pasta - £1
A drink - 35p
and if I'm in a good mood, cheese at 40p

Excuse me?

fyi, I've been raising for charities since I was rather young about 12/13, I raised about £450 odd this year for comic relief, and I did alot last year for charities. So if your saying Im not donating - think again, cos im pretty involved in donating things and helping ppl less fortunate than many around the world. And I know it's got to be ate.

I donated my mum &#163;400 from my bank acc for Christmas.

Still it's alot.

Lunch - Slice of Pizza , a cake and a carton of milk maybe 2 they're small.
