Here’s What I Think..

Why on EARTH is it so hard to realize that you are not all that and a bag of chips? Like really, I know a lot of people who have it stuck in there head that they are the greatest thing to ever grace this planet and everyone should bow down to them. I know, I know, this is all old news, but it STILL needs to be said. I know when you’re young your family and modern media shows you that you should be happy all the time and alwasy think of highly of yourself. But that doesn’t mean to think of yourself as better than others. Modern teenagers are spoilt brats, and there parents aren’t doing anything about. I know I used to be pretty damn spoilt, and I will admit I am not the least well off kid I know, but I don’t have the biggest iPod, all the latest CD’s, and all the newest clothing. You know why? Because my parents have gotten into the habit of telling me “no”. Sure, it’s a small word, but it means a lot, and it would mean a lot to everyone else if these parents could say it to there kids. Whether it be the little child screaming in the toy isle at Wal-Mart for the newest action figure, or the teenage girl screaming at her dad that she “needs” this new cell phone to survive. You just say no. Your childs popularity means a lot to them and only them. It affects everyone, including yourself, in no way shape or form. I would love to see what all those teenagers would do without there parents money. They think everything is just handed down to them, and even if they don’t, they still have the belief firm in there minds that everyone should do it all for them. There is a difference between helping out a friend and giving them everything and getting nothing. One is kindness and the other is greed. You cannot expect to be given something and not have to give anything in return. And I don’t mean money. I mean a favour. You can be as good of friends as anyone else in the world, but that doesn’t mean you don’t do shit for eachother. Friendship is about helping out eachother when they need it, not when it benefits you. I’m sorry, but thats just not how life works.

I thank you for reading this, and I hope it provoked some thought in you, and maybe you can relate this to people you know.
