I know the heading of this group is for teens by teens...and I am long beyond years from being a teen. But, I wanted to ask teenagers to help me feel less disillusioned about...OMG, I'm gonna say it "kids today". I grew up respecting adults, doing what I'm supposed to do, working for the extra things I wanted. Not feeling entitled to whatever I wanted, just because I wanted it. Not doing something just because I didn't feel like it, or it was no fun for me. Being responsible for myself and my belongings, etc.
Do people in your age group still do this or feel this way anymore. Where I live they do not. Lot's of spoiled children, who appreciate nothing and are constantly disrespectful and just outright lazy. Won't get a job. Wait to be handed everything and expect to be handed everything.
I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that outside of my little bubble where I live teenagers/young adults are not this way. Do you do chores, have a job, respect your belongings, not expect every little thing you want to be handed to you? Do you try to work over the summer, doing something...babysit, p/t job, mow lawns, etc.
I guess I just would like to feel a little more positive about this. Thanks all.
P.S. I'm not an ogre, just not connecting with this attitude about life. Thanks again young DISers.
