Okay here's the story.
every winter and summer in my high school, we do exams, which don't usually led to anything except a report card. This year i made a bet with a friend that i could do better than him at exams, which he won.
The terms of the agreement was the loser had to be the winners 'Bitch' for a week, which has resulted in him making me do some ridiculous stuff like shave my head. We signed a contract, and i was wondering if there's an easy way out of something like this? Any questions I'll answer happily..
Sorry for stupid thread haha

What does the contract say? Word for word? I'm usually good at this stuff.

If you don't do something he says would he really pursue legal action against you for not doing it?
Usually if a contract is signed, it must be honored.
If being a "bitch" is akin to a slavery type setting then the contract would be void.

Daniel Cousins and James Shannon, by signing this contract, agree to the consequences of losing.
Loser is the winners bitch for a week (beginning on the nearest Monday), e.g. go get off with that really ugly girl. If the loser fails to do what the winner wants them to do, they must do a forfeit chosen by the winner, e.g. give me £40. The contract is for 5 whole days meaning that if the loser or winner is off school on a particular day, that day dons't count.
__
Agreed rules were nothing that could result in a suspension, Nothing "gay" ( I imagine this is extremley unfair).
Slappy, We are both fourteen so i doubt thats happening haha.

Continue spamming up topics with one word answers like the other two threads you just responded to and I'll have you reported.

I'm figuring from what was said about that girl, you mean bed her. I'm fairly certain that you cannot put into a contract that you will force someone to go sleep with someone else. I think it'd be unfair too if I signed a contract and couldn't do anything gay. And if it is anything like here, minors cannot sign contracts, so you'd be out of it that way.

It's written pretty clearly in the "contract" that you can buy yourself out of your end of the bargain for £40. Pony up the money and you're out.

Well, if you're gonna be a bitch about it, and can't buy out, then just bitch out and stop doing what he asks.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happened to our economy on a smaller scale.

You're pretty ed mate, you should just take it but do nothing that will have effects beyond the 5 days e.g. shaving your head. Daniel Cousins and James Shannon, by signing this contract, agree to the consequences of losing. Loser is the winners bitch for a week (beginning on the nearest Monday), e.g. go get off with that really ugly girl. If the loser fails to do what the winner wants them to do, they must do a forfeit chosen by the winner, e.g. give me £40.

"Get off" generally just means kiss.

Bottom line - minors can't legally sign contracts. End of story.
Your friend may legally mock your for welshing on the deal though.
