I'm 17, I work at Starbucks and make my own money. I bought some clothes online - and my parents took away ones they said they didn't like. I bought some other ones for my friends for Christmas. One was a religious one - "Pyrex Religion Tee" and another was a Supreme shirt with Three Six Mafia on it, just them posing in front of a white background. I also got some Huf socks, with marijuana leafs on it, also for my friends. My parents took them and threw them away, and they never gave me the chance to return any of the clothes or sell them, or even give them to my friends, which they were for.

They've done this before, they've tossed out my $200 hookah, which I used for non-illegal substances and non-tobacco products... which is sort of understandable b/c they don't like smoking.

Is it fair or even legal for them to do this? They constantly go through my mail, and throw away things they don't like, without even telling me. My mom even opened her Christmas gift and resealed it with this tape that made it look obvious she opened it. It's completely ridiculous, and I don't get why they can't open it, and put it in their room and talk to me about it, as to why they don't like it and stuff. I respect what they don't like, and I rarely make purchases for "inappropriate" clothing for myself.

Bottom line: Can they do this, and is this legal or even ok?

I have recently purchased a used Macbook Pro 15" Mid-2010 model (MC372LL/A) with the following specs:

-2.53Ghz Intel Core i5 Processor

-4GB DDR3 RAM

-nVidia GeForce GT 330M Video Card

-500GB HDD

It also has no cosmetically damages at all.

I mainly use it for surfing the web, photoshop, after effects, editing music and listening to it, and maybe playing a few games. I always like to have the new stuff. Should I get a 2012 model with upgraded specs?

I bought this Macbook last week on Amazon, (it was listed under the 2012 model with i7, etc. for $900, but I got this one with a partial refund of $300, so $600 total). Should I sell this one and buy a 2012 model like I originally wanted? Is it worth it? I'd be looking to get at least $700 considering they're going for $750 on eBay and CL.

How much would it even be worth?? I couldn't find a price for my specific one.

Hi, I'm 16 and I don't even have my permit yet, and I've been working for about 3 months and I have plenty in the bank right now. I want to buy a hybrid bike, not only to bike and get in shape, but to mainly take long rides (10 mi+) and maybe a few rocky trails too. I went to my local bike shop and they recommended the FX 7.1 Trek bicycle for $439. It felt great, but I wanted to know if it's a good decision to buy it. Should I get the 7.2 for $499? I'm totally fine with spending the money on it. Any pros and cons about it?

Also, what accessories should I get? Obviously a helmet and rear bicycle lights.

Perhaps a bicycle lock if I take a break somewhere?

And should I get a bicycle computer? I was looking at the CatEye Strada Wireless Bicycle Computer and the Wahoo Fitness Blue SC Cycling Speed & Cadence Sensor for iPod/iPhone.

Which is better, and should I get a phone (iPhone 4) mount too if I get the Wahoo computer?

Thanks in advance!

I just got an Xbox and Black Ops 2 for Christmas, and I received a card inside the Black Ops 2 case giving me a code for the Nuketown 2025 map (and Xbox Live Gold for 2 Days). I activated the code and downloaded the map, but it doesn't show up on zombies mode! How do I play on it? I'm only seeing the 3 standard maps that are on Black Ops 2. Did I miss something?

Please help, and thanks in advance!

I'm looking for these Ikea shelves. I've seen them in a catalog and they were these individual cubes that could have things stored in or on them. What are they called? Does anyone have a link?

I just finished selling my first item on eBay!

My payment on PayPal is currently pending. I'm just confused on how to pay and ship the item.

Can I pay online with PayPal and pay for the shipping label or should I do it in the PO store?

Also, how much is the box? I'm set on a 'Small Flat Rate Box - Priority Mail'. Is the box free in-store or do I pay for it along with the shipping label?

Could someone please help me out and explain the post-selling and shipping process for the Post Office?

*I set my item as Free Shipping, so I know that I'd pay for it.*

Thanks in advance!

I have some jewelry (which I believe some have gold and diamonds). I was gifted this jewelry by my mother, but I want to sell them to buy something that she'll like. I'm 16, and I don't know how old you have to be to pawn things. Where should I sell it? How old do I have to be?

Thanks in advance.

In gym class, they played am mashup of some popular songs from probably 2010-present. A lot of it was Skrillex, then there was a remix of this song, which one girl said it by 'The Band Perry' and was singing along to it, but I didn't catch the name. The vocals were high-pitched and a hook sounded like "mon-daddy". I've been searching for like, months. Please help!

Today in gym class, our teacher played some mashup of songs, all from this year or last year; mostly Skrillex or dubstep. There was one song that played and it had a drop sounding like Skrillex's, but I've never heard the song. There were some phrases repeating in the song pertaining to "mon-daddy" or "bonfire" (NOT Knife Party's 'Bonfire'). My teacher didn't know the name and I absolutely love the song. Could someone please help me?

I'm doing an essay and are a little stuck. Could anyone tell me the long-term consequences (effects) of the European Influence during the Age of Exploration? (Aka Age of Discovery).

I have a Dell Studio XPS 16 laptop. It has a decent processor and dedicated GFX, full HD Screen, etc.

The screen went out, (faulty wire), and tonight, an error came up. After looking it up, I learned that it needs a new hard drive as well. This is too much for me. Should I sell it or give it away to someone who can use the parts? I'm 15, so if I can get money, it'd be great - and if any, how much?

Thanks!

I just bought myself a Canon EOS Rebel T2i (finally!), and I was wondering how I could snap some perfect photos of some skaters in mid-air, perfectly, without any blur. I'm able to catch them in mid-air, but they sometimes come out blurry.

Do you guys have any tips on how to not get this blur, or what settings to tweak? I'm new to Canon, so please help!

Thanks!

I saw a trailer for a movie on 'Attack Of The Show!" about a year ago.

It was about a woman who was brainwashed with drugs or something...it looked like a psychological thriller. In the title it had the word "rainbow".

I've been looking for this movie for a long time, please help!

My ears are NOT pierced, and I'm looking to get gauges. Where can I find info and actually talk to a person about this? I was thinking Claire's or Hot Topic. And how much would the whole process be, and how long?

I have an iPhone 4 8G Model A1332. It's at 5.1 and I want to jailbreak it untethered, and downgrade to 5.0.1. How can I do this?

I was watching my friends video, and I asked what song it was but she said she forgot. It's at 1:08.

I'm going to see a movie with my Gramma. She wants to see 21 Jump Street or The Cabin In The Woods?

Which one should we see?

My contract ends tomorrow, and I have $300 to spend. I was going to get a refurbished one to saw money.

I use a lot of memory, but I like the new iCloud and camera features on the 4s. What are the main differences, and which should I get?

P.S. If I jailbreak the iPhone 4, can I get Siri and iCloud features on it like the 4s?

I can't delete my old Facebook profile pics. I'm looking for the 'gear' icon, and can't find it. Please help!
