Your debut?

Maybe you can ask one for your birthday so your family members and such can raise the money together? :)

But it's your birthday present, innit?
What gift wouldn't be useless? A new set of pans?
That they know is most important, can't they convince the rest then xD

Wallets? How many wallets do you need?
That's what I call useless. :p
And a t-shirt isn't exactly a nice gift in my humble consideration...

Alright well then. Do you have a job?

Why, a laptop is a hell of a useful thing! o.O
Or is it because it's got a color instead of white or black?
I gotta admit, I was looking at a lime green laptop once too, and for a moment it made me doubt between my MacBook and that laptop, also because it was like €700,- cheaper. And let's say that one Euro is worth more than one Dollar. xD
Went for the MacBook in the end, but it's a perfect example of a waste of money and why the lime green laptop would have been better. :D

Because we live in depressing times.

Well that's way more useless then, isn't it...

I wasn't talking about decent jobs. When I was 16 I've worked as a paperboy, librarian, cashier and packer. Not decent, didn't pay much, but at least I had some spare money :p

Yeah, that sounds familiar. I think I've been doubting over the same one x'D

Well okay it might take a year. But at least you have a tiny income. :p
Are you creative? You might want to try making jewelry or something and sell it online?

Oh wow, I didn't realize that o.O
I could do my paper rounds by bicycle. And for the rest you need to be 16 here, but sometimes there are exceptions and you can try to get a small job at 14.
And doing volunteer work can be fun, but if you need money that indeed isn't exactly what you are looking for...

I hope you can figure out a way, I find this rather sad. :(

Good night, Elaine. <3
