The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread Part 2

it is but it is great when you get to £50 have you made it you must be close?

I've got £22 from quidco this month which is unusually high for me. This probably isn't the place, but I'm really annoyed. My stupid 14 year old chav sister has just been arrested & is in custody waiting to be questioned, she's such a bloody idiot, I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up in care now. She's so selfish, my mum has been on the phone and won't stop crying so now my dad has to drive up there to see her *screams*.

oh nikki what a nightmare! What on earth has she been doing? Is it all attention seeking?

Nichelette

Basically she got kicked out of school two years ago, and when my mum moved away my parents made her go with my mum because she gets in a lot of trouble down here. She knows a lot of older people who are basically a bad influence and would buy her drink/drugs/fags.

Tonight she has rebelled and stolen my mums cars keys, purse and so forth, put her stuff in the back of her car and started driving up my mums road because she wants to come back to live in Crawley but my parents won't let her. My mum didn't know what to do so she called the police who have arrested her, but she's such an inconsiderate little moo. I don't think she thought my mum would actually do it, but she could have killed someone, I mean, she's 14. I really don't know where the hell it all went so wrong with her, the other three of us are perfectly normal considerate people. I know she's my sister but the world really would be a better place without her and others like here. She just doesn't seem to respond to anything. I'm embarassed to be related to her.

that is a really hard one nikki your mum was very brave to call the cops on her own daughter! It is odd when children are brought up together with the same role models, morals, rules and conditions and one ends up completly different.

Do you think the cops will get through to her about anything? Or does she have no fear of anyone?

It is so hard when kids are not scared of anyone!

Oh god Nicki what a nightmare- good on your mum though that must have taken a lot for her to do that.

there was a bloke on daytime tv last week and he found a gun in is sons bedroom and phoned the police and got his own son arrested and his son went to prison for 10 years. People were phoning in saying how could you and stuff. He was a very brave man to do that if is son has used the gun and killed someone he would have had to live with knowing he could have done something! People whould be encouraged to phone the police if there kids are out of control and could harm others.

Nichelette

Yeah, I do feel bad for my mum, my sister really puts her through it. That's her problem, she doesn't care about the police or anyone else. She has run away from home a few times and been searched on the street before or whatever it is they have to give you the slip of paper for, she just doesn't care which is why it's so hard.

Oh no Nikki, that is awful Your mum did the right thing by calling the police. My sisters are quite bad too., though one is worse than the other (they are both 12)... One of them was recently caught shoplifting - I was there when she got caught (she was with me and my mum!) and she told barefaced lies to the security officers until they made her empty her bag. It was scary just how calm she was. My poor mum was mortified. She is now banned from our local supermarket.

I think kids are getting more and more unruly... it's frightening.

i pass at least 10 kids smoking when i walk the dog in the mornings they are on there way to school they range from about 10 years up to 16 what is most shocking is they are just walking along smoking without a care in the whole. i smoked at 14 and used to hide in hedges, behind shops etc scared stiff we would get caught. Why are they not scared anymore? no one has any power over them!
