By law, if your under 18 it's their money. But that's ok, there's what's called Karma. When they are old and can't take care of themselves, you get to put them in a home.

Bring in the law. If it's good for anything, it's selfishness like this.

All these people saying that if he is under 18 he can't complain are retarded. Minors can have jobs and earn money too. And no, one's parents aren't entitled to that money. You don't owe your parents anything because it was their choice to have kids and therefore their choice to spend the amount of money it takes to raise said children.

wow. my parents would never do something like that to me, and i still had the sense enough to only put my name on my account. my husband can't even access my account.

put a password on your bank account

I love how so many people are saying the OP shouldn't be bitching if they're a minor. I bet all of your wouldn't be saying the same thing if all your hard-earned cash got stolen from you by your own parents! Even if OP is a minor, if they earned the money themselves, it's theirs! Just because your parents brought you into this world doesn't mean your obligated to pay them back financially. You pay them back for all the wonderful years of growing up your did with them and creating fond memories. But I guess to most of you, life has a price tag on it.

Even though you might be under 18, your parents have control of your bankaccount. But you probably earned that money. FYL.

Great Parents.

kind of scumbaggy

If my parents did that to me I'd break their legs. I'm not saying you should do that though - You should, however, take them to court and sue them - they stole from you, plain and simple.
