All teenagers want everything right now, the unusual part is with today's technology, they can.
It happened all the time in your parents generation. You just didn't hear about it as much.
Makes sense considering we are the offspring of baby boomers, who before us were the most spoiled generation. Maybe being spoiled is not such a bad thing. It's commonly believed that our quality of living is higher than it's ever been. I think our culture breeds as much ambition as it does sloth.
you're right. but I don't know of too many baby boomers that take advantage of that technology the same way a younger person does.
How could you possibly know that? Do you know every (pre)teen? If not, stop making shit up.
Upon graduation from high school, we are challenged with a bastardization of Luke 12:48; I remember the commencement speech ending with "to whom much is given, much is expected."
And that's the mentality of the people who I went to school with. We come from all sorts of cultural backgrounds, but that's what the school chiseled in to the back of our heads. And I can tell you, nothing has been more challenging than high school for me. College, work, or my personal life. None of it lives up to the rigor of high school.

Oh look. You throwing my own comments back at my yet completely missing the context. Isn't you and your useless cronies on here who always cry about me generalizing Americans, yet here you are defending those who are generalizing teenagers.
Discussing anything on this forum is utterly pointless.
I left with one semester of home economics (which was basically cooking). And a semester of economics, where half of it covers personal finance. I remember almost nothing from those classes but my skills in those areas suffice, nevermind my degree ended up being in Economics. The most valuable skills taught in every class was how to be resourceful. I didn't realize til much later than the inane projects and papers we did ad nauseam weren't really about the content.
dbz has it right. Most of this shit you're left to figure out for yourself. Parents can't be relied upon and neither can schools.
