    My mother won't let me buy things off the internet!

    She is kinda old for my age.. most of my friends parents are 30-40, while she is 53 and my dad is 55.

    Any things to suggest to get her to change my mind?

    Stop being such a consumer. Try saving your money instead of spending it all.

    I think he is too young to have his own credit card.
    She thinks it isn't safe or what?

    Elwithral Irenicus, convince her that Amazon has been around for years and that it has an impeccable
    reputation. And that you know dozens of people who buy stuff from there.

    I assume we're talking about buying from Amazon via SP, since you posted this in SS?

    13? I'm not surprised she won't let you loose with her credit card!

    I tell you what, offer to do the pots, wash teh car and clean the house. Maybe her tune will change.

    At 13, you should be busy doing your homework instead of hanging out trying buy stuff on the internet. :geezer:

    What is it you are trying to buy?

    Sounds like a result, because now you don't have to pay for it.

    You're 13 and all your friends have parents 30-40?!?! I thought I was young having a kid at 21!

    You must be from Kentucky... or Utah.

    30 is reasonable.

    But:

    30 - 13 = 17

    Seventeen is a magazine, not the age to have children (although it does run in my family).

    I don't think there is really any right or wrong age to have children. It's all a personal choice ;) .

    Barmy - that's because you're from the North of England and we all know what age the girls get knocked up in that part of the country.
