well my mom doesn’t care as much as my step dad does. but i asked for an Ipad for Christmas (were not rich but we can afford that if its my only gift.) and he was like “great just another reason so you can lock yourself in your bedroom and play on all day.” and i was like excuse me ? because really. he thinks all i do is text and play on my laptop. but im not. i have a life. he makes it sound like i have no life. when i do. i go out with friends all the time. after school and i do stuff ALL THE TIME. my best friend live down the street and im there most of the time anyways. im serious. this makes me so angry. not even the fact about the ipad. just the fact he says this stuff to me. i mean its like hes no different. he watches tv and plays video games. and hes always on the computer. and he plays guitar. im teaching myself to play piano. i have homework. I HAVE STRIGHT A’S. i try in school. i do my homework. like i have time to spend my life on a laptop ! im fourteen. and i seriously dont even text that much either. i text like my two best friends. and thats not even all the time. i do when im not with anyone and im bored. i do text around him but i try not to because of this. it gets me so angry. are your parents like this ? or were they ? did it make you as mad as it makes me ? thanks. i had to vent. no hate comments. ones that make me laugh are appreciated though. 
this makes me so mad is this what your parents do?

relax. every parent does that. he just means you should go outside, like really, i dont kno anyone whos parents HAVENT said that!
this likely means your being tested by the CIA to see if your assassin meterial
It sounds to me like your dad is missing his little girl. You are growing up and it is hard on your dad. He is starting to realize that his time with you is short. Try to give dad some special attention. He is just sad that you are growing up so fast.
i’m spoiled… i wouldn’t have notice that if i didn’t get told that a lot… but you can do like me and get a job and could help your parents out with stuff and also with yourself.
this isn’t a hate comment or jokey.. it’s reality
hmmmm, i kind have it a little different. i get grades ranging from As to Ds. If i had grades like you, my mom would let me spend all day killing zombies on black ops. (;
The best solution for you is to ask for Nook Color from Barnes & Noble – while it is as good (or better) than iPad, you can present it to your parents as that you want to read more books, they’ll melt right away.
iPad does not have USB port. Forget iPad, it’s so last year. Get Nook Color which has USB port and is better for half the price of iPad from bn.com or any Barnes & Noble physical store or BestBuy or Walmart.
Nook Color specs:
- $249 with free shipping
- 7 inch Color LG Touchscreen 16 million colors with anti-glare coating 1024 x 600 delivering 169 pixels per inch.
- 8GB built in memory expandable to 32 GB with microSD card.
- 512 MB RAM
- Formats supported: EPUB, PDF, XLS, DOC, PPT, PPS, TXT, DOCM, XLSM, PPTM, PPSX, PPSM, DOCX, XLX, PPTX, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MP3, AAC, MP4.
- Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), USB port
- OS: Android 2.1
- Processor: TI 800 Mhz ARM Cortex A8-based, 45nm OMAP3621
- Nook allows to lend books for 2 weeks to friends or to your other devices that run B&N app. Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals.
- Nook Color is better as a color e-Reader than Kindle simply because it has color and Kindle is black and white. Content that greatly benefits from color – such as kids books and magazines – looks much better and sharper on Nook Color’s screen.
- Nook Color is better as an e-Reader in general than iPad. It has a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight than iPad’s. Also, as it’s smaller in size than iPad, the text appears sharper on Nook’s screen. Also it has 12,000 (more soon) kids books that are built as a game with feedback.
- Nook Color has been picked as the editors choice by PC Magazine while pro reviewers of other sites (CNET, ZDNet, Engadget, AllThingsDigital, etc.) mentioned that it tested to be pretty fast for apps and PDF’s, and has a beautiful screen.
- Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It’s a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn’t have a camera. If all you want is to read novels, Kindle (or the original e-Ink Nook) might be better for you. If you want something more from your device at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
- Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
