Hey Rick! How are you?

 

Is it safe to come back now?:rolleyes:

Hey Rick! How are you?

 

 

 

Tired,but okay otherwise..:)

I'm never tired at this time...because I wake up so late! :P

I see..do you have a job at all?

Nope. I'm only 15.

I see...:lol: Not a worry in the world then!

I see...:lol: Not a worry in the world then!

Yeah...pretty much! Hahaha

 

But I'd like to get a parttime job.

Sure you would....

Yeah, who am I kidding...I'm a lazy bum. :disappointed:

Ah yes,it's as i thought then.....

Yeah, who am I kidding...I'm a lazy bum. :disappointed:

 

isn't everybody our age? we don't need jobs, that's what parents are for ;)

That's the thing. I feel guilty when my parents get me things I want. I don't ask for much, but when they give me things I have this feeling that I don't deserve any of it, that I didn't do anything to earn it. I don't wanna be spoiled. I want to have some humility.

Enjoy it while it lasts.....

I want to. But I don't wanna seem spoiled either. I will still feel guilty for all the things my parents get me.

That's very admirable, and unfortunately, you're in the minority.

This attitude will stand you in good stead later on.;)

Thanks, Mark. :nice:

There are far too many freeloaders out there who don't understand the value of money.

There are also far too many parents who spoil their children irresponsibly. This contributes to the problem.;)

It's sad, really. It's like they are scared that if they say no, their kid will blow up in their face and throw a tantrum, and the parents don't want that. They don't wanna deal with actually teaching them some values, so instead they just give their kids whatever the hell they want, and they don't care. That in the end, really harms the kids in the future, and it's too late. Because the parents didn't know any better to teach them what is right.

 

Kinda like Lindsay Lohan's mom. She didn't give a shit that her daughter was overworking herself or doing all this stuff that wasn't good for her job or her own being, yet she didn't care. Because Lindsay was the family's source of living. Not teaching her anything about taking care of herself and having limits.

It's actually been proven that children want and need to be taught "limits/boundaries" to prepare them for adult life. Otherwise they're likely to end up "screwed up" and society ends up footing the bill.;)

Teaching these "limits" and saying "no" from time to time is actually good parenting.

Unfortunately, a lot of parents don't know how to parent. It should probably be taught in schools.;)

Agreed.

 

 

I'm getting tired. So off to bed. Bye!

So what is your solution??:rolleyes:

True, but not all 'teenagers' are lazy. Why do people classify all teenagers as 'lazy, annoying, rude jerks'? Sure, there ARE a lot of kids like that, but not all. Some are actually really driven and level-headed enough to take their own responsibilities and do what's right for them. They want to be accomplished and do so much. They are beyond their years and are really wise. They probably might not be me....but they do exist.

 

Don't classify all of us as 'lazy'. When I said I was a lazy bum, I was kidding.
