Right off, I want to say that this post is not directed at the teenagers here. Those that come here are more likely to be enlightened and compassionate because of the general nature of this show.
Now, with that said, a great number of teenagers that I have met, seen, and heard have this huge sense of entitlement. It's a false sense mind you, but they have it none the less. I don't recall teenagers around me growing up (I'm 29) believing that everything should be handed to them no matter the cost. Sure, we wanted things and some things that were considered expensive, but I don't recall it being an expectation, only a hope. I have wondered quite often what caused this attitude. Is it because a lot of these kids have parents brought up in the 70s and the time of free love? Is it because they were brought up by parents of the 80s that were part of the "Me generation"? Or maybe it's because they were brought up in the 90s when we had a booming economy and people could afford luxury items? It's probably a combination of all of those things plus other things I haven't thought of or listed. Netty's rules apply to all of those kids, and I am afraid that they might be shocked when thet get out into the real world. I know that I was shocked and it was just 11 years ago. (Wow. That long already!
) I don't know, just something I have been thinking about for a few years now.
