Do you consider this stealing or no?

PLEASE READ!!!!!!
My brother is 18 and just moved to New York City to go to acting school. We are from TX and have been to NYC many times so we know how expensive things are there.

Well my brother earned $2,000 over the summer from his job. He has only been in New York for 3 weeks and has managed to spend $1,000 on clothes, food and whatever else. When my parents found out they put the rest of the money in a savings account so he would not spend the rest of it right away. They are not keeping it from him they just put a limit on the amount he can spend in a week. ($100). My brother said that my parents stole from him and are spending him money on themselves which of course is not true at all. My dad does the same with my money and I am very great full for it. I would for sure spend all my money if I had to all at once.

Do you consider this stealing or just good parenting? I mean I see it as good parenting. I am still getting my money every week and if I need more I just ask for it. I don’t see this as stealing because I know how much I stated with and as long as I end up with that amount by the end of school I don’t really care.

My brother is telling our whole family around the country that my dad is stealing from him and spending his money.

I am just wondering what other people think. I know plenty of kids that have the same situation. Their parents give them their money but in an allowance form and they say it works well bc that way they don’t spend it all at once.
I am sorry this is so long and sorry for any typos there might be.
Yea the thing is my brother is a spoiled brat thanks to my grandmother and uncle and does not know the meaning of a dollar at all. I still have money from two weeks ago I have not spent. My brother will blow all his money if he has it.
Thanks guys I plan to do that with my children whenever that may be. I really do think this is the best way to handle money. I am 20 and in college and I would still rather have my money given to me.

Your comments on the story i’m writing?

I have started with a story. As of now I have done the character sketch of the main characters. Please read and give in your feedback.

Amy:

Amy Newton was born in New York and had stayed with her father in the city forever. Her father, Herbert Newton, a famous businessman was travelling most of the time to different countries because of work. Lucy Newton, her mother had passed away when she was only two. Brought up by nannies and maid’s Amy was closer to them during her initial years of growing up. Yet she respected and loved her father more than anyone in this world. Herbert fulfilled all her desires and wishes… expect one. He was not able to spend “Quality” time with his daughter. Amy had travelled with her father across the world during her summer vacations and had enjoyed those days the most as they brought her closer to her father. She detested when the vacations came to an end.

The Newton’s had a huge mansion in New York. It was an 8 Bedroom, 3 floored house with a swimming pool in the backyard and a garden in the front which was the size of a baseball field. Built by a famous architect from Rome, the house had ethnic and classical touch of the Roman civilization. Paintings from famous artists hung on the carved walls. The Mansion depicted the wealth of Mr. Newton who was a self-made man. Every room had a different theme. There were rare pieces of decorations brought from different parts of the world to enhance the beauty of the mansion. It was the most aesthetic white structure that the city had ever seen. Milky white marble statues found place in the gardens of the house, which were illuminated with bright lights during the night. The place was no less than a fairy tale castle sitting magnificently in the city, praised by all its audience.

Amy was a very beautiful girl. She had the perfect features and perfect body. Long brown hair which were never out of place. It seemed like she never had a bad hair day. Big green eyes which never missed any detail. A smile so warm that it made a dull day bright and shinny. She looked like a ramp model which made boys go all ‘oohh and aahh’ and girls all jealous. A down to earth girl Amy was. Talented and intelligent, she had always been a topper in her school and college. She never mentioned that she was “AMY NEWTON” infront of a crowd, because she wanted to be just Amy. Her father’s name when attached with hers changed things completely. People almost fell to their knees. And she loathed this.

Amy enjoyed being outside her home though. An independent soul, she didn’t like to be dependent on her father. Her father on the other hand did not approve her taking up summer jobs when she was not travelling with him. Peacefully both father and daughter used to discuss this issue.

Now as she was going to be 20, Amy had decided that she will not join her father’s business. Instead she had a different plan sketched up for her life. But Herbert was hell bent for her to join him as soon as possible. She was delaying the option with excuses that made her father angry.

It was her 20th birthday that changed things for Amy.

Mark:

Mark Stevens was a born rebel. His father, Andrew Stevens, was a famous Lawyer of London. His mother, Emily Stevens, was the owner of one of the most expensive boutique in London. Rich and Famous list was not complete if ‘The Stevens’ were not mentioned in it. And Mark never left any opportunity to use his “Status” to get things done. His father did not like it when he misused their family name. A lot of arguments took place between the father and the son on almost daily basis. Emily was the pacemaker. She took time out of her busy schedule to sit with Mark and talk to him. This made Mark closer to his mother. He confided his deepest secrets to her.

In London, the Stevens had a “Palace” in which they lived. It was indeed a palace, which belonged to one of the royalties of the country in the early centuries. Andrew Stevens had bought the property at a very handsome price. Emily had decorated their “Home” in the most beautiful manner. Everything was exquisite, expensive and exotic. A library which was bigger than the town library, an indoor sports area constructed which was well equipped. Both Mark and Andrew enjoyed sports a lot. Andrew was the football team captain when he was in high school. And Mark had led his school team to victory in swimming and basket ball. Their beautiful garden had flowers which were of rare species. The Palace was made of grey brick and stones. A long drive way from the main gate which was huge and made up of wrought iron. Tall and beautiful trees covering the drove way on both sides. A fountain was in the middle of the enormous garden. The palace was included in the most exotic and breath taking palaces of the country.

When Mark was 5, his father wanted him learn how to play tennis but Mark was keener on learning swimming. He felt ‘the water’ belonged to him. Mark had created a big scene
When Mark was 5, his father wanted him learn how to play tennis but Mark was keener on learning swimming. He felt ‘the water’ belonged to him. Mark had created a big scene and finally his father had to agree with Mark and grant him his wish. Usually when there was a conflict between Mark and his father, Mark won. One reason was that Emily supported Mark. She was the only person who understood… or atleast kind of understood her son. “Brat” was what his father called him when he was upset with Mark.

While he was growing up, his father fed into his mind that Mark should become a Lawyer – Just like him – in future. Mark was not fond of this particular career option. He felt he will be overshadowed by his father’s name once he took up law. Though he was a brilliant student and could easily make it big in any of the professions he would have chosen, but being a lawyer was something he had absolutely rejected since childhood.
He did not want to be like his father.
Mark was a handsome boy. He had the looks of a royalty. Bright blue eyes which pierced easily through anybody’s soul, Pearly white skin with a face and body which belonged to only Greek gods. He was every girl’s dream come true. He was in reach of every soul around him, yet so far. He was a kind of person who understood the situation well and manipulated it according to his benefits. His mind worked in a manner which nobody could ever understand. Not a predictable person Mark was but he could easily predict others.

He had already planned his future and was quiet determined on going against his father’s wishes. He knew his mother would support him, like she always had. He also knew that when he would tell his father about his plans, his father would throw a fit around the house which would be extremely difficult to handle. But Mark was ready for all that.

Aging out of foster care, this summer? Nowhere to go? Advice?

Im seventeen, Im turning 18 this June, I have been putting off the thought of leaving for a while. I want to go to collage, but my grades aren’t well enough to get me a scholarship. I live in New Orleans, and I got into St.Johns college in new york, which is really good, but i don’t have enough money to go (Even though I will go maybe in 2013)..Nobody has talked about me leaving yet, ive been here for month. I don’t know them that well, they only took me in because I was a charity case:/. Also i have a two year old son, but he stays with his mother, and her family…me and her family don’t get along, the last time time i saw my son was three months ago..so i cant stay with them. The only family I know is my mom and my dad, i don’t get along with my dad, and im thinking about going to live with my mom, but the last time i talked to her in person, was two years ago. (I got taken away from her when i was 9) But i think that if i try to track her down, she will let me live with her. If not i will try to stay with some friends, Ive been looking for a job, but cant find anything, i have a bad record, i went through a rough path between ages 13-15 went to juvy when i was 15, and used to steal, get in fights, and drugs in my past, and assault of an officer(which was a joke)..When i was 16 though i layed off it a bit, and haven’t got in any legal trouble since.. im scared i will end up on the street, homeless..When i was 14, my brother aged out, and the last time I saw him he looked terrible, probably homeless:/..and i could tell he was on something, just don’t want to follow his footsteps, any advice?
yeah…but i cant live with them forever…and they can only keep me for a month or two…nobody wants a bum leaving in thier house for free-_-
