I never had a cellphone, neither a gaming console, and more

Work hard, do well.

In the future you can play far, far harder

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.

Worth a thousand words.

[Drix]

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.

[Lionel Valdes]

Drix, I'm 13.

[Drix]

Still, my quote goes on.

[arifaiman]

Me too.

What type of school do you go to?

[Huntsman]

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..

[EminemRulez]

Oh lol, I thought you were older.. go play football or smt, I hadn't have phones nor any of that shit by your age too

[Jellyfish]

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.
