What privileges should a 14-year-old girl have?
OMG! Wow!! Well it could have been that your sister made a few mistakes when she was your age and your parents don't want you to do the same. Sit with them and talk to them about it. Some privilages fourteen year old should all have are: 1. Cell phones, texting/calling who ever without nosey parents 2. Going to friends houses (if your parents are real strict then give them your friends parents number,e etc) 3. Having friends over 4. Sleepovers 5. Going out with friends without parents. Ex: mall, resturants, movies, games, park 6. Facebook/Myspace/Twitter (if your parents are worried talk about restriction (30 mins a day on Facebook, etc) and talk about internet safety 7. Using YOUR money however YOU want. I'd make sure that money was in a bank account under YOUR name. Personally, I think 14 is too young to date. Even though you might be mature... guys are not and hormones are HIGH up there. Hope I helped
What is the most profitable business you could start with only $5,000?
I started a business that grossed about US$300,000 some years ago with about US$3,000. I was traveling internationally quite a bit back then and came across a unique hand-crafted product that appealed to many in the gift and ethnic gift market.With a suitcase of product I spent $2500 on a trade show stall and about $500 on gas/hotel/food to attend the show. I didn't have a fancy booth and I lit my product with a few clip on lights that I had spray painted black. I also used black spray paint on cardboard that served as my displays. It may sound tacky, but it actually looked pretty nice and it helped my items stand out.So I loaded up my wares in my SUV and drove myself to the trade show. I booked a cheap motel that had free parking. I ate at burger places. I worked the two-day show by myself and made sure I was always standing and showing my goods while sharing the story of how my items were made, where they came from and what an impact the items had on the local community that made them. Since I didn't have any inventory besides what I had on display, I asked buyers to select a shipping date set for a future time that would allow me to acquire, label, pack and ship the product. I pre-booked sales of just under $30k at the show!With my pre bookings I borrowed another $5000 from family to put toward merchandise and I used credit cards for shipping materials (boxes, labels, scale, etc.) and setup shop in my garage.Within about a month I had a Fedex truck picking up from my home on a daily basis. I also put together a simply, but attractive and informative website on my own and followed up on every lead that I acquired from my initial trade show. Reorders started coming in, new orders from my follow through trickled in and before I knew it I had a real business that I was running out of my home.
