    I know that there are a bunch of insurance companies that offer cheaper insurance if you have good grades (lucky me...and hopefully some of you soon-to-be drivers ) Supposedly statistics do show that teens with good grades get in less accidents...probably because of the maturity thing you all are talking about (you know there had to be a reason for insurance companies to give discounts like that)
    You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.

    i would think it would also be the concentration skills. They must figure if kids can do schoolwork for hours on end without distraction the same must apply to driving. And also they are probably less likely to "party" if they are so busy with their work. thats interesting though, a new incentive to raise my GPA....

    I'm fourteen, and I seriously doubt if I'll ever drive a car of my own until I'm eighteen or possibly older. I just don't need or want a car of my own. I live across the street from my school, and I don't go anywhere much, and the places I do go to, I could just use one of my parent's car or ride a bike. I don't much care for the new cars anyway, the energy-efficient cars are alright, I guess, but they're just not, well, pretty. If I was rich I would drive this:


    or


    I'd have a chauffer, of course, for the Rolls Royce. I wouldn't actually "drive" the carriage, either. I'd have a driver!

    Oh well, for a little bit of trick Abayya is enough, but Niqaab is even better. With my face hidden, nobody would ever recognize that it is a thirteen year old inside. YAY!

    Hmmm......not really. I will have to buy one for myself as well first of all. But sure if you come to Pakistan, you will get to find many over here - Niqaabs with beads over them and of different colours. There are some fashionable niqaabs as well which makes me wonder what's the need of niqaab like them...

    I have never been to an all girls party, I wonder what it will be like. I never ever had a chance like this for some real girly talk, what do the girls talk about at such parties??
    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    i probably couldnt answer for the norm of girls parties...my friends are kinda eccentric. I have been to a few "typical" parties though and they usually consist of stabbing people in the back(verbally), and using very limited vocabulary and ghastly grammer to rave about boys, music, and clothes. Luckily this thread is blessed with wonderfully intellegent people who discuss much better things!

    Yes, I am very serious.

    I don't think so that there is even any use of niqaabs. Well, unless you count a nine/ten year old girl want to drive a car. And of course, these can be used to hide and take away things from the market.

    Oh! Thank you! *Curtsey* I have been secretly marveling at your amazing vocabulary, so there you go! Maybe we will teach each other something. You can teach me your gift of words, and I shall teach you sophistication! How about that!
