Screw longhand, you need to get him to spend days learning shorthand, while whipping him with a leather belt playing hardcore thrash metal in the background.

I sure as hell hope this isn't true in Australia, I have a few 17 year old friends and a few younger friends as well who live by themselves, have their own bank accounts and jobs. I would hate for there parents too be able to take their money out of there account without permission legally!
