Does anyone have a driver (up to 7 years old) that I may please have?

Uh... like that totally cuts into my Halo* time!

* I am relatively unfamiliar with videogames, but I've heard of this one.  If'n the kids are playing something else nowadays, please insert the name of that game into my response.

No video games in my house. Violent video games in studies have shown a sharp decrease in mental capability and process, making the mind think at a slower rate and decreases ideal thought stream.

Take some responsibilty grow up and get a job.  If you want something don't expect that a bunch of people are going to give you what you want for free.  As for the legality of you getting a job that law is absolutely fake.  I started working 3 2hours a week when I was 13, all so I could buy myself a fancy hockey stick that I didn't want my parents to buy.

But what state do you live in sir? In my state it says you have to have a work permit before you are able to work at age minimum of 16. All state laws are different, since the Constitution gave hard federal laws to all, but then issued out rights to the states allowing them to make decisions on certain areas.

Seriously???!! Time for you to take your medicine son - get off the computer, get out of the house, go get a job!

Purely for my own edification, in what state do you live currently?

[Kevin18]

For purely of a safety reason, Ill just state that I live in the midwest region of the United States.

You mow lawns in the morning before it reaches 102.  As for gas, pay for the gas yourself out of your mowing earnings if dad won't foot the bill.  It's a tough world out there, but if you make the effort you'll earn what you want.  My parents didn't have a lot of money when I grew up.  If I wanted something bad enough I found a way to earn the money to get it.  Spend less time justifying yourself on here, and go knock on some doors.  I'm sure people would like their garage cleaned, yards weeded, pools cleaned, etc.

Set your sights lower, find a less exclusive club to caddy at.

So that means not only is the grass not growing at a consistent rate with the sunlight, but also it is just plain too hot out (right now it is 102 degrees.) I do work and I swear I am not a lazy kid. And no, there is no excuse to my parents "not letting me go" outside.

Thank you sir for helping me along. That's all I ask. For a little guidance in this world. This is a good lesson that odds are I will never forget. Its time to get my butt moving and working in order to pay for the things I want.

Hop on the craigslist train.

in before "recent studies show craigslist is not a safe way to buy/sell, blah blah"

________

plenty of options.. it's America. Unfortunately you will not be getting a free driver from anyone here. Time to work on a new tactic.

[Kevin18]

I am not going to say anything like that? I have looked on craigslist before, I will admit.

[Mr. Desmond]

It is tough out there. I was working part-time at age 11 on a paper route and always worked, even through college. Work is different these days. Parents don't want their kids up at 4 am throwing a paper route or even throwing a paper route. But with a new era are new and different opportunities. Good luck.

[Kevin18]

Thank you sir, it is greatly appreciated.

[Goonsidious]

Maybe you could sell your guitar for a driver.

Or start playing in the streets since it looks as though you are striving to be a look-a-like Justin Bieber.

[Kevin18]

If I can sing I would do that in a heart beat. And If I had the talent to sing.. And no, I am not going for a justin bieber look a like.

And yes that is a fantastic deal and I am so grateful you would be willing to do that.

Didn't realize you were 15 - Freshman in High School?. How about a photocopy of your high school ID?

[Kevin18]

Lost in too.. barely lasted the last 5 days in school without getting kicked out without it.Or having to buy one for $%5. Ughh any last ideas? You know, I might just work off the money and buy the new shaft myself. This whole forum has gotten me motivated..

So, if you work, how do you not have $50 for a driver?

Just plain too hot for you to work, eh?  Now I see what kind of kid we're dealing with here...

Wow. You really are a clueless simpleton.
