help me on my situation
well i had this huge fight with my mom.. i was given 200$ by my grandparents to use on whatever i want, i wanted to use all 200 of it on video games ( yes i know its not the best thing to spend it on but my grandparents said i could and i will) but my mom starteed yelling at me to buy clothes with it which i dont want, if my grandparents said me not to than i would agree and understand that they gave me it and i shouldnt but that wasnt the case. anyways i thought it was pretty bs that my mom thinks she can tell me waht to do with money she didnt even give me. we got into this huge fight and it ended with me trying to get some legal help. shes trying to take away all my things but she GAVE them to me and i believe the law is that you can't take away what you gave if the person u gave it to agrees. right now im trying to get some legal help on if teenagers can call lawyers which i probably can't but are there any alternatives. ive decided to run away next week but what she tells me is shes taking all the sttuff and im not taking it. im not too sure on laws but i believe thats illegal.
ALSO this thread is not about if im a bad person and im not trolling.
and another question if i do run away would i be able to keep up in school? i know its vague but im in grade 8 only(yeah im young).. how long would 300$ last me in terms of food in canada.. and dont tell me im young and stupid because i know i am, i might be doing the right thing or i might be doing the wrong thing, what im doing is what i think is right because i cant handle this anymore

dont you think i should go in the path that i think is right? not the path my mom thinks is right?
Do you know how stupid and selfish you sound... first of all your mom bought the stuff so she has the right to take it away. Second i doubt you can even get anywhere with 300$. Third you've been living under her roof for atleast 13 years and you gonna cry about using 200$ on a game think about how much money she wasted on you before you act all badass think about who supported you up till now without your mom you wouldn't even be living in your home i bet you wouldn't even be on basil if it wasnt for her.
[quote=permadragons]its not about the freaking videogames and its not even about the money its about how she thinks she can control everything i do[/quote]
If you're not older than 18 years old. You have too obey your parents.
@permadragons: Well crap dude. Wake up. Your mother is obviously human whom you can talk to and sort things out. Seriously... if you haven't considered this you are a really spoilt kid who can't even argue nicely with your parents.
If you want to have a sane, humane solution, here is one. Think about arguments and counter arguments about your mother "controlling" everything you do. Tell her why you think it's bad, and that you are old enough to make decisions yourself (Speaking of age, how old are you?). Remember, don't raise your voice and try to keep it at a calm level. If you want to go anywhere, don't say the same arguments over and over. Ramble them up in a nice order, which and try to convince her that you can make most of the decisions yourself.
Honestly, seeing what kind of person you are, I'm not that surprised that your mom wants to control you so bad ._.
[quote=ShadeCombo]@permadragons Dam you're one ungrateful kid. Imagine how much time and money your mother has wasted on YOU. You just got what? 300 bucks, which you are making a huge fuzz over? Dam bro, your mom cares about you. She obviously hasn't spent around 13-18 years + 9 months and most likely more than $6k on YOU. And you just go apenuts, want to run away from home because you can get some videogames? ... What has the world come to? ._.
OT: If you want an honest answer, living in the streets will probably eat your money faster than renting a place to live. Forgive your mom, talk to her calmly. But more importantly; Think about if it's worth it, paying 200-300 dollars on games, which you will use and toss away sooner or later, or getting clothes which will keep you from going naked on the streets like a madman for about a year or two. Learn to prioritize kid.[/quote]

[quote=qtprincessxoxo]lol'd at you trying to get legal help for 200 bucks.
Don't run away from home. Try and strike a compromise, say 50 bucks goes to games and 150 to clothes.[/quote]
lool not 200$ i have more but i only wana spend 200.. i have about 2000 no im not spoiled i earned it all
[quote=TheTigerBegins]u watched too much t.v kid... running away from ur home because ur mom doesnt let u buy video games...wtf kind of world do we live in? video games are bad for you and studying is much better..[/quote]
its not about the video games.. i think i have the right to get what i want with my own money.. and its not even about that, its that she thinks she can control me
[quote=PcPls123]lol Bro, you will not survive off of $300 bucks. Rent for 1 month is usually a $1000, food can run from $100-400 a month depending on what you like to eat, travelling money or gas money, phone bill, etc. Stay at home and be a good boy.[/quote]
geez i dont want rent il live on the streets to get the hell out of here.. i only wana know food and how long 300$ will last
$300 bucks wont get u anywhere....maybe like 2 weeks of food and think about it where are you going to live? im pretty sure that rent is way more than $300 bucks a month. If you go the cops they will send a social worker in to fix the problem. So yea if all fails you WILL be homeless unless their is a relative or friend that will house you.
It depends on how much you eat per day... Like if you order all your meals from McDonalds or some other cheap fastfood place, you can live off your money for quite awhile.
However, before you run away, consider how future high schools and colleges will look at your records and see how you ran away. You could ruin your future. So my advice is, while your mom is wrong to tell you to buy clothes with YOUR money, just buy clothes. At least she isn't taking it to buy shoes for herself or anything.
Quick!, move out before it is too late
[quote=gangar32]just spend it on both clothes and games. and im sure your mom bought most of your stuff already so she can take it away. dont run away on something so stupid[/quote]
but i believe she cant take it away because she gave it tto me and i can prove it.. in canada i dont think u can take back what u gave unless the other person agrees
