To start off, I am a teenager myself. Most of my friends and classmates are, well, privileged. My friend just recently got a louis vuitton bag, and she already has a coach,juicy couture,guess and two chanel bags. her life is perfect, she gets everything she wants,her family is constantly bribing her with gifts, she gets straight As, she’s naturally tall and skinny and well liked.
but onto my question. are teens now a days spoiled? at my school, it is considered normal to have a macbook,ipod touch,ipad,camera,smartphone .(ALL OF THE ABOVE!) it is considered abnormal not to have a ipod and i dont have one.
everyone at my school is constantly updating to the lastest gadgets. I am very thankful for my cellphone and camera. I currently have a used laptop that my mom bought 5 years ago, so it is very old. I’m not saying that i want that stuff, but im not selfish, but why is life so unfair?
my mom accuses me of buying too much, but the stuff i buy i honestly need. i only have 3 pairs of pants and one sweater. i had one pairs of shoes, but my mom let me buy two more. i only buy things that i really need, and honestly, who only has one sweater? my perfect friend is constantly buying clothes, her closet is stuffed and her parents keep letting her buy. i dont even have the bare necessities, i only have a few decent shirts. before i only had one bath towel, and i had to dry myself with toilet paper the days i washed it. my family accuses me of spending too much, but i want to say, “THE WHOLE SCHOOL IS BUYING LIKE A SWEATER FOR $200.” the time when “uggs” were very popular, every girl in my school had them, im not exaggerating, and i was standing there in my leaking converses. there was also the time when every girl had the swingpack from coach leatherwear which costs $120, and i was carrying a backpack.also when everyone had the same $40 shirt, i was still buying from the $5 sale rack.It doesn’t frustrate me that i do not have this things.what frustrates me is my parents, and my family still scold me when i am actually trying to save them money. i wish they could see what other people at my school buy. do u understand?
my mothers reasoning is…”if you have a $900 bag when your 15, what do you have to look forward to when your 21?” i also read that in a magazine and i felt they were quoting it right out of my mothers mouth.

Yes teens are spoiled. I’m a teen and it really pisses me off seeing all the kids around me blowing money on the first thing they see. My family doesn’t have that kind of money so I’m used to not getting everything like a spoiled little brat. My family has what we need and I want what I have, nothing more. I have a nice laptop, my father owns a car, I go to one of the best schools in the county and my family doesn’t need to buy my love. I have a cellphone that I only use for calling my parents and occasionally other people when I HAVE to. If I had a fancy phone, I wouldn’t even use it for all that other stuff. Sure, I occasionally wish for nice things but then I snap back into reality. I think your mom was right.
first,i think it’s the specific phenomenon in some time.not because they are spoiled,but that is the society’s sickness.they are not learning to self -independent.as a teen,i think you should adjust your mentality and live a common and healthy life!
ps:i’m a chanel handbags seller,hope this would help you!

Well the teens at your school are. That doesn’t mean ALL teens are. Most of my friends have jobs because parents don’t have much money these days what with the R word and everything. My parents had to dip into our emergency fund just to pay the bills last week so no I wouldn’t say me or my sister are spoiled.
Many teens, including me, were taught the value of a euro growing up. Some parents just skip that bit and give the little darlings what they want to make them shut up.
I have to admit, i know i am going to get thumbs down for this, but i am being honest…I am like your friend. I have lots of Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Coach, Prada stuff and Ugg boots, and IPhone, Camera, MacBook…etc. I have never purchased a $200 sweater?? I am not sure what you mean by that…
I do donate. I donated last year all of my Birthday money to WWF, which was like $700. And then for christmas, my mom got me an adorable pomeranian for like 1200!!!! FOR A DOG. He went straight back to the breeder and i adopted a 9 year old Mixed breed from the kennel, for $90. He is my best friend!! And he didn’t cost $1200. 2 weeks ago i donated all my clothes from last year to Good Will. I was blessed by being privileged, but i do not let that get in between anything. I have given, Laptops, Ipods, Designer Sh*t, and other things to my less privileged friends in my neighborhood. And your mothers reasoning is only partially true.
I think that the current generation of teens have never had to respect the value of the dollar, therefore they don’t understand earning what they have.
Absolutely most teens these days are spoilt and have it so good, but they don’t appreciate anything. They go through technology faster than they change their underwear and it is really disgusting how they can through tantrums when they don’t get what they want.
It seems a bit ironic that you sit here, moaning about how teens are spoiled. Then you write a 26 line essay about how its unfair that everyone has more stuff than you?
Where I live practically everyone lives in poverty. Not having water, food, warmth when they need it, and you sit here moaning about how you cant afford a coach bag or real uggs.
Your mum is right, listen to her. Why waste her hard earned money on clothes that cost a fortune, when you can get perfectly good clothes for cheap. You don’t need to cost a fortune. Stop being a brat.
Grow up.
