once I was on the bus an my friend came on and looked like she'd been crying. I freaked out and asked "Whats wrong??" and she told me," my dad didn't give me $300 for the mall!! I hate him!!!" she then showed me her text convo with him, consisting of "omg! I need all new clothes for the last week of school! Ur the worst daddy everr!" I was feeling kind of grateful that he didn't give her the money until the next day she came on the bus proclaiming, " he gave me $150! He's gonna give me the other half he owes me tomorrow!" I facepalm'd. HARD.

It's 3 1/2 lines. What do you do on amirite? You read.

You kind of do... besides if the parents spoil the child, then that's their fault. If you're used to getting $300 a week for shopping, then that's normal to you. How would the kid know any better?

If it's actually a kid you're talking about you have a point, but I think a teenager is perfectly capable of being appreciative and showing gratitude. They sometimes just choose not to because it's easier.

Yeah, there's a certain point you get to, when you can no longer blame the way you were raised... but up to that point, it is your parent's responsibility to raise you properly

Seriously? How would they KNOW any better? They're not 3. Saying you hate you're mom for not giving you money is a little bit too far for me to believe that may not know any better.

*snort* You're the one that thinks them being spoiled makes them less materialistic and ungrateful cuz "they don't know any better!" and doesn't think a teenager will know any better cuz "they're not an adult" like they're trapped in their own little ignorant bubble, which is also their fault for being so self absorbed they don't notice anything about the real world and real life. Psychcology is so complicated and their are so many different aspects to every peorson's actions, I doubt you even took psychology if you're claiming to be able to analyze the people referred to in an amirite post.

You obviously don't understand English very well... I didn't state an age limit (on purpose, because I know everyone is different), I said "up to a certain point..." you can't expect a five year old to see that s/he is being unreasonable for wanting to get something that they always get.

I'm sure if you were kicked out of your house and forced to live in the streets, you would complain too, but that's how a lot of people live. The fact you have the luxury of internet right now means you live better than a good population of the world. You probably take your lifestyle for granted just as much as the kid takes being given money for the mall for granted. It's the way they've grown up and what they're used to, it's not really their fault. That's not to say it's not sad to see people talk and think like that, especially when there's so many people who don't even know where their next meal is coming from let alone their next pair of skinny jeans. Still, it doesn't make the kid a bad person—just sheltered. And honestly, the way you're raised will affect who you are for the rest of your life. A bad upbringing isn't an excuse to never try to improve, but it's definitely something to consider. Especially if you're still a teenager and still living in the environment that shaped you. If the kid hasn't gotten a taste of anything different, why should they be expected to be any different? And children ARE self absorbed, it's natural and expected. They do not know how to ...

take care of themselves let alone others. Teenagers are beginning to mature but haven't completely yet, and that's okay, it's NORMAL. Call your friend out for being disrespectful and inconsiderate, but take into account that there's no reason for them to have known better. It's not about blame, but self improvement.

Thanks, but I was raised in a third world country with a family member that used to be addicted to drugs... I'm in America now and I work three part time jobs and go to school full time. There is so much more stuff that you don't even know, but it doesn't even matter, the point is I'm not spoiled or ungrateful for what I have. Anyways, I can't say much more, because for the most part you're saying the same thing that I am

You replied to the wrong person. Just because you don't know any other life, doesn't give you an excuse to not be grateful for the one you have. You think my mom told me "be grateful for this honey"? No, it's just a quality decent people have/
