Well the system is unfair, I go to college. Why do I not get anything?I've always thought this and will continue to say it - People who don't get EMA are just jelous and bitter about it. My EMA payments have ended now, and am I going to be annoyed at no longer getting an extra £40 a month? You bet I am. However, I'll learn to live with it, something most people who don't get EMA can't seem to do.
Oh, and PaulMacc, you get £4.90 for working at Tesco (I know, I work there )

The idea is that your parents earn enough to look after you, I get £30 a week from EMA, if it went high then I'd probably be getting close to the highest because my dad is currently unable to work and my mum is too stupid, unlike most people I can't work a job around everything else I do so I can't work until I've at least finished college, I have to buy anything I want, like the EMA I am getting from this year goes to my supplies then a new PC, which is what EMA is for because I'll need a PC to do my work

He may appear to be getting the same support as you, but as far as you know, his parents could be heavily in debt, unable to pay of their credit cards and loans as they can't provide with their current income. The system is fair, in my opinion, it's just that most people of our age don't have the mental capacity to realise it.
I've also heard the argument about what if the parents have loads of kids - valid point, but if you've got more kids, the more money in Child Benefits you would earn, which would be a hell of alot more then EMA

The system is only there so that the government can can bribe students so it can meet its education enrolment targets. I think that my parent's tax money has better things to be spent on.
Thankfuly, the lib dems and conservatives oppose it.

Just tell me this, would you be complaining if you got ema?
Lol thats true blue he wouldn't I don't think
But my sister gets ema and stuff but my mum and dad are divorced, my mum doesn't work and my dad doesn't pay a penny when he normally has about £1000 in his wallet each week. Trouble is my sister spends the ema on aload of crap.
I wouldn't complain but I would still think it's unfair.
