12685000, What could a 17-year-old possibly need $200 for?
Posted by Very-Effortless, Fri Dec-26-14 06:03 PM
I have a 17yo god sister, we'll call her Mary. Mary has been out of touch for quite some time... Ignoring phone calls and not taking it upon herself to call. It's not cause we haven't tried, it's cause Mary lost her mind when she turned 14/15 and figured that we're her personal piggy banks. We were in Memphis for 4 days during thanksgiving, she knew we were coming and we all called her multiple times to get in touch and she ignored us. Then comes calling the day after we leave and asks for someone to come take her to get some new boots.

Basically, she's got it into her silly head that she only has time for us if we're spending money on her. Fuck that.

After thanksgiving back to ignoring us as usual until last week (the week before Christmas) when she calls my mom asking for a Christmas present. My mom says "no" because the only time she calls is when she wants something.

Fast forward to monday and she texts my sister and asks her for $200. My sister calls her and goes off. Bullet points: you only call when you want something, your facebook page is ratchet what the fuck is wrong with you and hell fucking no I ain't giving you $200.

today she texts me out of the blue. "Can I ask you something?"

I say sure even though I know what is coming.

"My mom is really in a bind. Can I borrow $200 until school starts?"

I ask her what she needs the money for and she's like "if you aren't gonna give it to me then never mind."

Then she texts my sister again and asks her if she can hold $200.

So, I have a couple of theories as to why she is asking:
1) she's just being a spoiled brat
2) her ratchet mama is putting her up to it
3) her little ratchet boyfriend is putting her up to it
4) she's pregnant and trying to get together abortion money

Whatever the case, no one in this here circle is giving her ass any money... Not without a reason and she ain't trying to give one.

12685010, there's a 70% chance her ratchet lying-ass mama put her up to it
Posted by Very-Effortless, Fri Dec-26-14 06:19 PM
So there's a high likelihood her mama has put her up to this begging
12685012, I didn't want to use the B-word but you beat me to it.

12685011, When I was 17 I had 200 dollars, cause I had a job
Posted by afrogirl_lost, Fri Dec-26-14 06:27 PM
Why isn't she working?
12685017, me too! That's a secondary problem I have with this begging.
Posted by Very-Effortless, Fri Dec-26-14 06:46 PM
She ain't too good for McDonald's
12685013, probably to go shopping
Posted by SimplyHannah, Fri Dec-26-14 06:32 PM
Or purchase some high priced shoes shes been wanting.
12685014, Giussepes start at $900 or $600 on sale
Posted by deejboram, Fri Dec-26-14 06:35 PM
Jorns start at $250
I guess high-priced is relative
12685021, What if she already has some money and just needs to add to it
Posted by SimplyHannah, Fri Dec-26-14 07:00 PM
Anything more than $200 expensive for some shoes imo
12685026, she up to know good because she wont come out and say whatsit for
Posted by deejboram, Fri Dec-26-14 07:12 PM
my 19 year old nephew did me the same way (well, nevermind if you asking whatsit for)
turned out they water got cutoff and his momma needed the money to get it turned back on

12685123, when i was 17 i spent $200 on all sorts of shit
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Sat Dec-27-14 08:41 AM
shoes, music, weed, dates, etc. i mean $200 doesnt go *that* damn far.

i think the original question is a little naive, but it was a fine segue into venting about this kid, i guess.

i would maybe talk to the mom but she doesn't sound very trustworthy either.

12685215, "if you aren't gonna give it to me then never mind." <- Dey scurred to tell ya
Posted by mtbatol, Sat Dec-27-14 02:24 PM
Since she's assuming folk gonna be judgemental or not giving at all by not coming right out & saying what it is. Already being defensive as fuck. If it was for some shit like rent or whatever they'd just say it. Probably for something like getting the bf something or abortion or something or something materialistic like a XBox, Beats or new sneaks.

Folks need money like that for something serious they'd come right out with it like food/rent/whatever. So "if you aren't gonna give it to me then never mind." pretty much is some already telling ya it's somewhere in the realm of nigga fuckshittary.

my coworker has a daughter is 18 and she does the same thing.

when I asked if she had a habit she looked at me like... ehh, maybe.
12685339, yeah bless those who were responsible

17 year olds

I mean I never needed abortion money
and of course smartphones and beats and such did not exist
you could get dealing dudes to buy you clothes or whatever

but my mom was shady and I had family dangling support in my face
with that it is yours if you tell me what you will spend it on contingent
so they could turn around and talk about you like a dog

family still offers support that I do not need to this day in my old age
just to get me to engage in their nosiness

give her a few more years, you will not hear from her ever again
12685344, Just give it to her. $200 ain't shit these days.
