Hey.. Well I've been thinking, I want to tell my parents that I do graphics, youtube, etc.. and in a sense i want to "come out" so I can start making money some how on the internet.
I would have to link my paypal to my bank account, and I think this would be the most difficult part, because I don't even have 100$ to start a savings account. So yeah, how would you tell them if you had to?

I would just tell them. Why would you get into trouble for wanting to earn money?

Well it would be very awkward, it's kinda weird... they have no idea that I actually do this stuff, and that I actually have friends that I talk to =o

Ooop, you wont make much from designing signatures for people on the internet. You'd probably make about $20 for making a whole (decent) skin.

My parents know and can't believe I know all this stuff. They know that I code and my parents and pleased, I'm getting paid quite a lot to make a website for someone so I get stuff out of it.
I guess you've got to have good things, otherwise they might judge xD

I've been trying to get my parents to get me a Paypal account, I also want to start making money online, so I can pay for fees for future stuff at my forum, Cmt Sports Forum. Many opportunities for me to get paid $ for posting, etc. have went by because I do not have a PayPal account. It sucks. And to contribute to the topic, Ooop, I have tried to tell my parents countless times about all the stuff I do and know how to do, etc. but they are just so bored, and completely lost, I just give up, eventually.

I have the same problem sometimes ooop. My parents are REALLY careful with the enternet which i can totally understand because it is dangerous. But i don't see why they would have a problem with me making money. The main problem with me is i don't have something i can make money with...if i did i would

I wouldnt worry about this kind of thing yet. Your skilled, I'll give you that. When I was your age I was using Flash for websites because it was all I had other than paint >.> But it might help to wait a bit before you want to start getting paid for your work. You'll find it consumes your whole life. Trust me, I'm always working as a designer for several people and I have no time for other things anymore. D;

I found it easy to tell them My sister may think I'm a geek but..... As long as I get to code and design I'm happy and now that I'm getting paid for it ;D
