SNOBBISH TEENS
Parents pamper their kids with all types of things; be it that new remote control car or the biggest Barbie doll house that you can flaunt amongst your friends or that super amazing birthday party which people talk about for days. But as they grow older, they don’t realize when it all has to stop. For our parents, we’re always like that same kid on the first day of kindergarten. But all of this excessive care and love makes some of us dependent on them for everything. We forget that we’re old and mature now and we still behave like the immature baby we were.
Snobbish teenager- that’s the term we use for kids like these. They’re so used to pampering and bossing around everyone that they forgot how old they are and how they should deal with situations. Take this friend of mine as an example. Her parents have always got her everything she ever asked them for. They were like her personal genie- the “Your wish is my command!” type. Anything she ever asked for, she would get it the next morning, and if, by any reason, she didn’t get it, she would cry until she got it.
These kids don’t understand their limits. When they should stop and when they should ask. A sense of independence doesn’t exist in them as much as it should. They are so used to getting everything at their beck and call. Another instance of this is my cousin sister, another spoiled brat. She never respects anyone elder to her. Even though she was never the eldest, she would boss around everyone, including her parents and mine too at times. I remember a particular instance – when she had come over to my place for my birthday. I was out the whole day because I had a scheduled lecture till nine-thirty that night. Taking this opportunity, my parents decided to throw me a birthday party. Since I was going to get late anyway, my mom was pretty relaxed with the cooking since everybody wanted to eat after I came home. But this snobbish sister of mine just walks to up to mom and tells her she’s hungry. My mom offers her some cookies and chips but she insists on having dinner. My mom tells her that dinner isn’t cooked yet. She suddenly just starts crying out of the blue, demanding dinner to be cooked and given to her immediately. And so for her, my mom spends her entire time cooking dinner, just so that my sister could eat instead of spending time with my cousins or helping them be a part of the party they were throwing for me. She missed all the fun because of my sister’s unreasonable demands.
I don’t get it honestly. How can anyone be so air- headed that they cannot even understand what, when and where to demand? How can they be so selfish that the only people they care about is themselves and nobody else? For teenagers like them, I just have one question: How do think this selfish and bossy attitude will work for you when you’re out in to the real world?
Love, Blue Host.
