Maybe it's just me - but how pathetically pampered are kids/teenagers these days? No these are not the rantings of some loner nerd with nothing better to do than bitch about how much better everyone has it. I do sports, work hard, get good grades, and simply speculate. I have never had any handouts. On my 18th birthday I was kicked out while simultaneously attending a full load of high school from 5:30am to 2:30pm with swim team practice from 2:45pm to 5:15pm. Then I go to work at Cucina Cucina until 11:30pm, do my homework, and do it all again.
Now while I walk the halls of my high school facing the daily grind I see these spoiled brats with their iPods driving away in their brand new cars, better than their teachers, drinking their starbucks and blabbing into their cell phones. Never have I been so disgusted at how gutless some of my peers are. My rant.
and as the holidays come around I can't help but be amazed as the greed reaches the height of its ugliness. I watch as peers receive the required quota of xboxs, ipods, p2ps, nintendo ds', and other non essential garbage. and so the vicious lust for all things current and trendy lingers on and on with the commercial world grinning through their jackson's.
