ok, i definitely agree about the maturity level. i didn't think about that. it's not smart to give an immature child an expensive bag but judging by ranskimmie's post about her daughter, it sounds like she would take care of it since it's obvious she really wants this bag. it sounds like she's a good kid
as for paying for grades. i don't know, it makes sense to me. well, some kids don't get it and won't work hard to get good grades unless they're motivated by something...like money?
carrying "expensive" bags now is definitely happening a lot in high school. but it makes me mad that these girls are getting coach bags, etc. and treat them like crap and they get disgusting and dirty. ugh, i don't like it if parents buy their daughter a bag and she doesn't appreciate it.
also, since her birthday is sort of far off i agree that she should save for the purse. occasionally my parents will buy me a purse but usually it's only if it's on sale or if i pay half. it makes sense to me.
p.s. i have a dog named misty, too!
