<human>: I'm still a minor (17) but I've started college and I work on the side. I feel weird asking my parents for money for stuff but they won't let me use my bank account. Should I just ask them for money (I'd have to do it on a constant basis or be uber-conservative and that won't solve anything) or continue fighting? It's really annoying not having a few bucks on hand for food etc. cuz I staying longer and longer at school and some days stay there from 9 am to 10 pm. Is it too much to ask to be allowed to use my own money even IF I am a minor?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Parents won't let me have access to my bank account till I'm eighteen so I'm stuck in financial limbo for the next several months. hate asking them for money.
