When you send your sorry for sounding arrogant or whatever - to be honest you really are...
Why should your parents spend a large amount of their hard earned money on something for you when your out getting yourself into bother which also effects them? Maybe if you did some stuff to earn it and actually be appreciated then you wouldn't even be in this and would have gotten it no problem.
Think of it this way... Say it was your £500 or whatever and you had planned on buying your child something. Think then, they then let you down and disappoint you greatly... do you reward your child for doing so by giving them hat they want or make them learn the hard way and not?
I think it's obvious your parents are simply using the laptop here to make it clear to you the consequences of your actions in future - and I completely agree with what they are doing and hope they hold out on it.
The fact you say you would "kill yourself for the laptop" isn't very promising to begin with. I think you really do not appreciate the important things in life and if you honestly, hand-on-heart, believe that killing yourself just because you do not get your own way is going to achieve anything - then you really aren't going to get far in life.
I think you need to just come to terms with the fact you are rightfully being punished for something you done wrong and get over it. Rather than sulking about it and ultimately make the situation worse, try and help out more and keep yourself out of bother. If you start acting a bit more maturely and responsibly I'm sure your parents will recognise that and reward it.
I think you really should just keep good and behave and you'll then have the laptop in a couple of months, rather than acting up again and effectively having to wait even longer.
just like be really niceand helpful and say mum if i help u al the time can i have it at ... and set a date thats before xmass but not to soon or its a defo no

I did not write a load of "negative thoughts". I told you the truth, and unfortunately the truth can hurt sometimes.
Your their son - so what? When you have a child you promise to love, care for and look after them. That means they will make sure you are fed, watered, kept warm etc. No where does a laptop come into anything as it is completely materialistic and in no way a necessity.
Your post is basically "I stole and did stuff wrong so I can no longer get what I want - what can I do to get my own way?"
I did not express anything negative, I simply gave you my opinion - that I feel rather than wasting more time sulking over not getting your own way you should try and improve upon the matter by making amends and settling with the fact they are willing to buy you it at all.
Sorry if you didn't like what I had to say but when it comes down to it, it's simply the harsh truth of the matter.

the people posting are only trying to help. there's no need to be rude and bratty about it. so you want a laptop so badly? get a job. earn the money yourself, and see how it feels. imagine the workload your parents have to go through to simply get what you want. too young to get a job? well that's too bad then. if they say they're getting it for you during christmas, then so be it! just wait. your patience will pay off soon.

Just have a little patience
I'm still hurting from a love I lost,
I'm feeling your frustration,
That any minute all the pain will stop,
Just hold, me close, inside your arms, tonight,
don't be too hard on my emotions,
'Cause I, need time.
My heart is numb, has no feeling.
So while I'm still healing,
Just try, and have a little patience
I really want to start over again,
I know you wanna be my salvation.
The one that I could always depend,
I'll try to be strong believe me,
I'm trying to move on,
It's complicated but understand me.
'Cause I, need time,
My heart is numb has no feeling,
So while I'm still healing,
Just try, and have a little patience,
have a little patience,
'Cause the scars run so deep,
It's been hard
But I have to believe.
Have a little patience,
Have a little patience,
Woah, Cause I, I just need time,
My heart is numb has no feeling,
So while I'm still healing,
just try, and have a little patience,
have a little patience,
My heart is numb, has no feeling,
So while I'm still healing,
just try, and have a little... Patience

it doesnt matter if they can afford it or not. thats not the point. i think you need to understand that your parents have better things to buy and pay for instead of a laptop for you, which you cant even bloody wait for.
you need to understand the value of a pound. or w.e the saying is.

;o the mature baby who -repped me has decided to release his anger in a phew of these "*****". Seriously man, If i were your parents, and you was being like this. I'd buy the new
laptop for you, and break it right INFRONT OF YOUR FACE, to teach you a lesson.

18-09-2007, 05:30 PM
Wth are you on about...
there is a saying like "understand the value of a dollar" but obvs we are in the uk, so i said pound.
virtually you need to understand that money doesnt grow on trees and that you should appreciate what you have, and when you get it as acting how you are, is just being totally selfish and not thinking about your parents.

I think you should get a job (part time if your in school) and buy a laptop yourself, that gives you the responsability and will know how much things cost. A laptop costing £600? It doesnt sound like it will be a good laptop if its that cheap. You will only be able to use it for school work/internet maybe but nothing big like gaming.

Like already said it is nothing to do with how much your family income is. That is completely irrelevant. The whole argument against you here isn't because your family cannot afford to get you one - it's simply the fact that you in no way deserve one.
Wth are you on about...
More to the point... wth are YOU on about?!
Thieve one from your local pcworld ?

If you read what I said correctly you will notice I said "If you think a laptop is worth killing yourself over then you will not get far in life." There is a huge difference between someone saying they will kill themselves than someone who actually goes ahead and does it.

Just because your parents can afford it, doesn't mean that they should buy it for you.
My parents could probably afford buying me a brand new BMW M5 for my first car, but will they? No. Will they buy me my first car? No. They think that I need to work for my money to understand what its worth, which I agree with.
You, on the other hand, clearly have no concept of money, and act asif since your parents can afford something, they should spend it on you. They make the 35-50k a year salarie, shouldn't you think that they should spend it on what they want?
If you keep the same additude as you did in this thread, your never going to get that laptop. And if you wanted it so bad, you'd actually try to be nice and help out.

Well I assume you are sorry about stealing the sweets. Have you told her this? Maybe do some positive stuff to kinda work off your bad behaviour.
Can you do some jobs about the house or go shopping. I don't know something like that. A couple of weeks of that should change her mind I would think and you would feel more positive about yourself too I would think :)

You selfish brat. I don't know where you get off thinking that just because your parents earn a lot you deserve something. Face the consequences; you stole something, and also in another thread you created I read that you were excluded for drinking alcohol on school premesis. Do you really deserve something you want now? Not really, and this punishment your parents are issuing you with is fair and I totally agree with them. You deserve nothing until you finally realise that parents have other responsibilities than just buying you whatever you desire.
I also notice how you're being truly and utterly ignorant to others posts, making out like you're the one that's being put into a corner because you're not getting what you want. You make out like you're some saint that deserves all the good things in life, and you don't. When you are in the working world, you'll see how difficult it is to fend for yourself and your children, if you have any, considering you seem to hoard all of the attention to yourself as it seems.
So you're going to sulk because this present you want isn't coming your way, are you? In conclusion, and for the many foolish and disgusting posts you've made, I hope you receive no presents whatsoever until you realise how selfish you are actually being.
My parents earn a bomb. My Dads on something silly like 45/50k and my mum about 20k. Always have been. But since being little I've always had to work for my money - just little things like 'if you help me with the tea you can have 50p for your money box' kinda thing. And tbh I think maybe your parents should have too. Might teach you the value of money.
You're lucky theyre letting you have it for Christmas, my god, if I did something like that, I don't think I'd get anything for years upon years. Christmas isn't that far away.
Your parents earn their money, its their choice how they spend it and sulking and acting depressed is an insult to people who are depressed. Its how a spoilt 4 year old acts tbh (I know I work in a Nursery).
Have you offered to work for free where you stole from? Might help show that you are sorry.

You're never going to get anywhere in life if you don't start doing as your told and stop acting like a complete and utter noob.

Just be careful about what you do, and make sure you don't get in trouble between now and your birthday / xmas (whenever you get your laptop) and why not just say to her that you're sorry for the trouble you've caused.
Im sure that would earn you some respect from your mum, the fact that you're generally sorry about what you did and you understand it was wrong etc.

The fact you say you would "kill yourself for the laptop" isn't very promising to begin with. I think you really do not appreciate the important things in life and if you honestly, hand-on-heart, believe that killing yourself just because you do not get your own way is going to achieve anything - then you really aren't going to get far in life.
I think you need to just come to terms with the fact you are rightfully being punished for something you done wrong and get over it. Rather than sulking about it and ultimately make the situation worse, try and help out more and keep yourself out of bother. If you start acting a bit more maturely and responsibly I'm sure your parents will recognise that and reward it.
I think you really should just keep good and behave and you'll then have the laptop in a couple of months, rather than acting up again and effectively having to wait even longer.
Just be nice to them, Sit down on the sofa with your mum and start conversation with her.. otherwise it will keep going in a vicous circle, girl mean to mum, mum mean to daughter, daughter is mean back, etc etc.
and just be really nice to her basicly - and try not to theive stuff lol

I dont care about you saying i shouldnt get the laptop. im gunna get it on the 25th oct.
Or im gunna be pee'd off with what ever they buy me, and ill be depressed. and they'll get upset. then theyll have to get me a lappy, Im gunna get one.
so you're trying to make your parents, who look after you, make sure you have food, somewhere safe to stay and care for you miserable so you can get your own way?
you're young and naive.
you're on a computer right now, i'm sure you can cope until christmas,
why not try showing your parents that you're mature and you've learnt your lesson by accepting the conciquences of your actions?
i agree with Ostinato here.
When you send your sorry for sounding arrogant or whatever - to be honest you really are...
Why should your parents spend a large amount of their hard earned money on something for you when your out getting yourself into bother which also effects them? Maybe if you did some stuff to earn it and actually be appreciated then you wouldn't even be in this and would have gotten it no problem.

Perhaps for your birthday present you could get a dictionary 'cos you don't even know how to spell present.
Encore?

This reminds me of the video on youtube when a 16 year old girl gets a 70,000$ car for her birthday and complains that it's the wrong color.

Agree with everyone who's called you greedy. How about you be thankful that you're not living in poverty and seem to have a loving family? Instead of being so materialistic. Did you say you're 13? You're lucky to be even getting a laptop, let alone getting one after being done for stealing.

Your spoilt son has just been caught stealing, do you:
a) Ground him for several weeks and dock his pocket money
b) Make him apologise to the police and the shop owner
c) Reward him with a new Laptop
Doesn't sound right to me :rolleyes:
