haha that is true. probably gonna stay away from scamming. i guess what im really looking for is someone to be nice enough to donate to me. Thats a whole other story though. Already lost faith in humanity a while ago. hoping someone will prove me wrong there hahaha anyways thanks for the advice
I highly doubt anyone would donate the money to you, especially not now. Mayhaps a better attempt would have been to get someone to "invest" in a new camera for you. People sell photography here from time to time; had you proved that you were a decent photographer, someone may have bought you a camera in return for a return based on revenue generated from your photography.
I still wouldn't say that would be incredibly likely, however with a proper business plan, proof of skills, and a backup plan in case your photography didn't take off you may have been able to get some investors. With the scam attempt you more than likely lost that opportunity, but had you actually ended up scamming someone, you could have lost out a lot more. I'd consider it a valuable life lesson.
*edit*
Life lessons being dished out all over the place here.
its not my fault you dont understand the true depth of my passion. yes your probably looking at all this is BS but thats not my problem. the point is its very very hard being a high school student and having work and all, but still wanting to do something very very much. Either way, i said sorry and cant that be enough? sometimes when one is truly blinded by something they will do anything to justify it.
No, get out of that mindset. Plenty of people here know exactly what it is like, if you have a passion that strong, you should have the motivation to save up your own money for it. If you don't have the source of income, get some entrepreneurial calling so that you can make the money you need to persue your passion. 100% of the blame is on you, if you can't take ownership for your mistakes, you aren't truely learning from them.
What you did, was shut out a bunch of opportunities for instant gratification.
