    5 kids. . .21, 19, 14, 13 & 6. . . .I'm with ya' on the spoiled part for the 19 y.o. and the 6 y.o. The other ones are just as spoiled, but they BEHAVE much less like they're entitled to every fancy thing on the planet!

    If they're spoiled rotten then I guess their parents didn't raise them right.

    Can you imagine how spoiled the first generation of teenagers with modern indoor plumbing were? Their parents probably had to beat them senseless so they wouldn't let it go to their heads.

    My son DOES have a replica Samurai sword set from Japan...my bro, who lives there, asked me what DS might like as a gift that was unique and I suggested it. Its strictly ornamental..no edge on the blade. But it is cool. He loves it!

    Had 4 kids. All were marvelous as teenagers, though not perfect, (who is?) They are now productive members of society as adults. It is like anything, you get out what you put in. Wouldn't change them for the world.

    That is a testament to good parentling, another scarce commodity these days....

    I am 20 years old... don't know if that counts as a teen still to you.
    I am at school studying 55ish hours a week, working 20, work out 6 days a week and try to make the most of the time with my friends that I can. I have a sponsor child in Uganda. I buy my own books, gym membership, school fees, clothes, car and pay rent.

    I watch on average 1 tv show on the weekend, that's about it... Tell me again about how we are all the same :noway:

    Jersey Shore was cancelled. Today's brain-melter is Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

    And to THAT I say, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is an awesome, inspirational show.

    Nope. Either Supernatural or NCIS. SO what?! I'm not allowed to take one hour to watch one of my fave tv shows?

    Plus I have a nokia, don't have a tv/dvd/xbox in my room and I bought my own laptop.
    Whereas on the other hand my younger brother has all those, plus a 2011 lancer bought for him. But hey, at least I know independence and how to survive in the real world.

    That's not very fair to say. A parent can do everything right, and the kid can still turn out wrong.

    In high school, I was an honor student, stayed out of trouble, mostly kept to myself and didn't ask for much. My grandparents bought me my first car when I was 19... a 1998 Jetta Volkswagen for $5000, which I took care of and still own today. I put myself through college with no help from my parents, and now I have a career in web design with a entry-level salary of $50,000. I worked my *kitten* off for it, and I always felt like I had less than all my peers when I was a teenager.

    While my TWIN brother (so... raised at the same time by the same parents as me), barely passed high school, and is spiraling into unemployment and drug addiction, and my parents and grandparents are trying to help him.

    It's not always the parents' fault. Some kids are just predisposed to failure or to act spoiled.

    Edit: And we did watch the Andy Griffith show and Leave it to Beaver when we were kids. Maybe I got more out of it than my brother.

    sevsmom, you do not look old enough in your profile pic for all of those kids!!

    And my teens are awesome. They are my step-sons, but after 7 years we are finally getting things in common :) My oldest is going for his learner's tomorrow morning.
