Exactly what I thought. The same with the "what's wrong with kids these days?!" Well, hell, didn't you raise them?
I'm far from being a generations scholar, but it seems the narcissistic "Greatest Generation" has exacerbated the nation of entitled Americans.
gdane5 wrote:Its true that every past generation complains about the current one. However, this generation is by and large much more self centered and self interested than previous ones. I attribute this to the rise of social networking sites that make everyone feel as if though they're special. Completely irrelevant people post completely irrelevant information on twitter and facebook and by doing so it makes them feel as if though they're important. When they arent chosen for the job they wanted or when they dont get into a school that they wanted to get into, they whine and complain to no end. That last part is true of all generations and people in general, but I would argue that its much more prevalent now.

There are some people here that are just so self entitled and believe that because they go to X school, they should automatically have it all. Noone wants to "earn their stripes" anymore. Theres something wrong about that...

It's a bit manipulative, but it's the best outcome for her.

Of course, that was between guys and this is between girls, so God only know what could happen. Girls are weird.

Men tend to be more prone tooverconfidencereacting to things without self-centered fishing for compliments and tantrums. I find thisweirdobvious.
