My parents don't ****. I can thank them every day for doing this to me. I have learned more about hard work and earning something by seeing $3,000 of my own hard earned dollars walk away, than my parents giving it to me and having me go spend it for them. You don't know what it is like to do something like that, or the benefits unless you have in fact done it. It's more than just not being spoiled, its about building a foundation on work ethic.
Congrats, you have a B average and haven't been to prison yet. I've never seen the back of a cop car. I've never seen anything lower than a 91% in my high school career. I graduated with a 4.69 GPA. I got the highest cumulative score in my school on my ACT with a 34. I got a full ride to college on academics. I was a 3 sport letterman every year since my sophomore year, which means my school days started at 6:00 AM and ended at 6:00 PM. On top of all that, I joined the military just so I could serve my country...but you think that you DESERVE to have all that shit payed for because you're a good kid? Because, you get decent grades? Give me a break. You think you know good work ethic because you have to work hard for the "accessories" for your ride. How about you walk to work for an entire summer, just so you COULD have a ride. Then see how you treat the **** thing. Or better yet, how about when you're 13 you bust your ***, just enough to save up for your own lawn mower, so that when you are 14 you can mow lawns and make better money.
It really scares me what we have going into the work force today. A bunch of snot nosed brats that won't know anything about the real world. I'm not saying they will all be that way, some of them understand what it will take, but for the others, a rude wake up call is waiting.
