I really was going to leave this thread until I saw this.
That right there is both an insult to your own generation, and a load of bullstuff. Almost every friend I have, every kid I know, had to earn their car. Mommy and daddy didn't go buy them a new Bently, they worked all summer to afford a toyota Camry. Finishing school? Really? God I bet like 75% of students don't do that! That's so hard and irregular!
forgets sake you've got the most twisted sense of reality and priorities I've ever seen, you're literally the reason the elder generation dislikes us.
Actually, where I live, it's highly uncommon for students to have jobs. I live in a rich town, so I'm basing my opinions here on my own area and other areas like mine. Of course people in the same financial situation have to work hard like I do if they want anything worth while. And yes, it's an insult to my generation because there's not many people anymore who know the meaning of hard work. You've got to be kidding. Are you trying to imply that the generations before us were less responsible? The more and more generations that come through, the worse and worse they get.
And also, the student drop-out rate in America is not a very pleasing number, if you want to be an starfish about it.
You see, before I got a job, I sat on my ass and whined about stuff that didn't even matter. I didn't bother with school, I didn't care. I was like a lot of kids, but the thing here is that at least I try. I got my ass up, got a job, found better goals and grew some loving balls. Why don't you try doing the same and stop acting like loving Popeye on a forum?
Here's some common points you should stop trying to make:
- I'm "ungrateful" <- Many times in this thread, I have expressed that I do appreciate my parents and the things they do for me and that this is only a minor issue. I'm ranting about the issue. Not my parents as a whole.
- My parents "own" me <- Legally, not morally. Stop trying to make this point.
- I want to move out because of my parents trying to limit the internet <- Holy forget, since when did I say in the OP "I want to move out of my house because my parents turn off the internet at night!" The topic of the thread was a bad way of expressing my current mood and now I loving regret making that title because of how many of you misinterpreted it.
- You don't have rights as a minor!!!!1!1 <- If I really wanted to, I could call the CPS and be freed of my parents; I do have
some rights. But there is no abuse going on so why would I need to do that? I love my parents. I just don't love their decisions sometimes.
And that's all I can think of at the moment. lol
