Title: I never had a cellphone, neither a gaming console, and more
Post by: Lionel Valdes on July 04, 2012, 08:01:11 pm
I don't know why is this happening but first of all thank God for the food we eat and the floor we're living under, and all the other gifts. In my family, we are alright, we have money more than we need. My life is great, our lives are great. But the problem is, I have been asking for few things for 7 long years. When I see other people in my age with cellphones and such, I really want to cry in that very moment and complain about why I don't possede  what other people have. I never had a cellphone.
Before even asking for a cellphone, I wanted a gaming console, AT LEAST a Playstation 1. I never got one. I never got a gaming console, and all those promises are completely lies. My father is very lazy. My family wanted a car, my father is so lazy and surprisingly somehow survived the 13 years of requests to buy a car. We never got a car and we will never will. My uncle who works in a shitty job that is WAY FAR back than my father's owns a Renault. My father takes care of his sister's little family, and trust me in the next few years I will see his sister in a car. My father takes care of his brother's/sister's family more than he cares of us. He bought them a PC after a SINGLE request, and WE for years never had the opportunity to touch material like proper cellphones. His false promises will never end. I don't know why is this happening to us.. what is wrong with my life?

What do you think?

Have you ever tried to sit down with your father and talk about it ?

You should enjoy the things, and the people you have while you still have them rather than want incessantly for more. Perhaps your father thinks you aren't mature enough to handle such possessions.

My parents beg me to start using the cellphone that they gave me, when I go somewhere (far) away from home. I have no problems with that particular cellphone, I just don't want to use one, at all.

You know, cellphones aren't that expensive - You could get a proper cellphone for 10 euros.

While my father isn't picky and strict for requests, he usually is easier on his brother. That's mainly because both my parents work here in Germany and make good money, so helping his brother who doesn't really have that much makes him feel better.

So, your dad just probably helping them out more because he knows they can't achieve the same things your family can.

First do not be jealous of others and think how they have to ask for things because they can not afford them.
Second take a good look around your room and see all the things you 'needed' that were never used.
Now lets look at the mind of a man.
If I live near a shop and my work, I do not need a car. And if I bought one for my family and I happen to need one, they can not refuse me using theirs. Of course if I live in a village and I would have to walk two hours to get to work, I would need a car.

So lets take this in to practice. You need a playstation. Why ? Because everyone has one ? Well if everyone had a hand chopped off, woud you want one too ?
Or would it end up with all the other things you 'needed'?

Next time you want something go to your father and change what you do to ask him. Do not tell him 'I want that', but as him, 'how can I earn a cellphone'. This means you want something and are willing to work for it. If he feels you need to reach some things, he will set you a goal that if you manage will earn you what you want. And by working for it, your cellphone will be something you keep for a long time.

And if he ain't giving you what you want it must be for a reason, study hard in school make your dad proud i'm sure thats the reason, your marks in school ain't that good. I remember my dad saying i'll buy you anything you want if you get all 10's in school. One day i did get them all, and he bought me a ps2.
I used to be just like you until i grew up, got my own job and now i realised how much it hurts spending money for nothing, so yeah...

Did you approach him in the way Gandalf described? I doubt he'd shout at you if you approach him in a regular way. I could be wrong, though, some fathers actually handle like that, and it's wrong.

I tried many times to talk and discuss just like Gandalf said but it just didn't work and so he keeps promising.

You should be thankful for the life you got, son. Stop looking at what you aint, what you don't have. Start being thankful for what you have.  ;)

You might only want it because you're jealous of them :razz:
Since there's nothing on the world you get without effort, here's some tips:
> clean the house everyday
> be polite and respectful to your parents and simblings
> don't get a gaming console if you're going to play alone... a console without a player 2 sucks.
Those kinda things makes you 'deserve' it and they'd give it to you because you're helping them

Thanks guys, I now realized that I should work for it.. Well, now I worked hard and school year is over, and I have gently asked my father to buy me a bicycle so I can go to college (new one is somehow far). Really, thanks guys!

We live in a materialistic world. Arm yourself with knowledge, assertiveness and fair judgement. Believe in your success, your will and make it.
Every morning you wake up, start "building" those little stairs that bring you to your desires. But remember, one ladder at a time. Rushing will cause your "ladder" to fall and you'll go down with them.

Our desires surpass our capabilities, I can assure you. That is why you need to work hard for even the small things. Nothing is free.
Good luck and may your dreams come true, Robert.

I'm sure when i was at that age i had no phone, no PS2. I had friends who supported me and a yard who i used to play football all day. I got my first phone at age of 15. So it ain't a big deal.

Duude.. Atleast you got a proper family, and that is what you should value, while i dont...

I live only with my mother. My father left us when i was 1 week old. We werent rich, back in 2005 we lived pretty well actually, ofcourse not that well to have a computer, but it was something.. I also have a sister that is already married and my brother living with his GF in norway.

Now, we're having it pretty tough. We're always being short on money and we buy only things that are necessary. My father does nothing to help us out, he just pays the alimonies and turns away. He always keeps muttering shit like that he wants all his children together and all of us are his, even tho he doesnt want to show us that. He never takes me anywhere or comes to visit me, well yeah, he visits me on my birthday, once in a year... And sometimes if there is some bussiness... He never comes just to see his son.. He throws us some money when we need help, but he really doesnt give a shit much.

Ofcourse i have my sister and brother, but they cant help us much, my sister has her own child to feed and my brother lives far away. However, they try to support us as much as they can.

I need a father, because im different than other boys in my neighbourhood , or in school, at that instance... I am not interested in stuff such as mechanics, because i do not have anyone to teach me that.. I'm less "manly" because i dont have a father... I dont really take him as my father, if he sees being father just in throwing money away... Yes i have a super computer that runs any game on highest, but i do not have that support i sometimes need... My mother comes back from work tired and irritated, all she wants to do is finish her bussiness and go to bed.. We dont have much time to talk, and our views differ..

You're being sad that you dont get PS or something like that, while you dont value that you actually have a father and mother, and because of such a situation they can divorse soon... Now i'm growing in a complicated atmosphere, my friends are all pretty much hypocrites, and i could never let myself what others usually could..

There's an old Persian saying that goes like this

"I wept that I had no shoes,
Until a saw a man who had no feet"

Show gratitude for what you have, and seek to earn things, never take what you already have for granted.

Type of school? Elaborate. I go to normal school? Private one.

I can't buy anything expensive like PS3 with my personal money.

You go to a private school, you should be grateful that your parents pay for you to go there.

What do you think?
Your father is a great man.
I know how you feel, all your friends got those nice things while you're sitting in the 'dark' and not because you don't have money, but cause of your father's stubbornes. And that hurts even more.

But maybe your father wants you to be a realistic boy, to develop you in a normal way, not making you a incaipable plant infront of a monitor, to have more real friends  then virtual friends,  unlike most other kids, to play more outdoors then infront of your gamging console...In the next 2-3 years, all of your friends will drop their gaming console and try moving into the real life, going clubbing, parties, girls, and everything that goes with it, and you'll have a start advantage cause you didn't spend your time infront of a monitor like them.

He buys those things to his syster family, but those are not his children and no matter how much he loves them, they'll gonna get spoiled and lazy, while you'll have all this suffering behind you, and develop into a nice young fellow full of life.


And if you really want one of those gadges so much like a new cellphone, have you considered working during summers? I mean I dont know how old are you, but everything above 14 is more then enough for a small part time job that you gonna learn a lot from it, and get enough cash to buy what ever you want. :)

Dude, you play on SAMP. Why would you want PS1 anyhow? I mean your PC can already games as high requirements as San Andreas and that's a lot of games. So why would you want PS1 just so you could hold a gamepad?

As long as you got the PC that you already have and a decent internet connection, all your entertainment needs are well met and even greater than required. If you want PS1 games, I think theres emulators for that,don't know haven't tried.

:lol: It was sad until this reply. I'm 18, still got no PS2, I didn't had a phone until I turned 15 or 16. But my first phone was a Sony Ericsson greenheart, and current one is a Xperia. Most of my friends got their phones before me, but today I own a phone which their phones combined can't match up, neither in price, nor in features.

Same goes for the car, most of my friends started driving 3 years ago, I just got my license and planning to buy a Renault as my first car.

You shouldn't care about a PS or a mobile phone..what can you do with a mobile phone at your age, except playing Snake all day? It will most likely ruin your health while your body is still being developed due to the radiation caused by it.

Another thing is that you can easily get addicted to those things - even PC if you ask me, and you have to learn how to control it, otherwise you'll get addicted to the internet, phones, gaming and you'll miss the best time of your life.

I'd change all that for loyal and supporting friends. Go out with them, play football or any other sport you want, go to the beach, meet new people, have fun while you're still young..trust me.
