The Generation of The Entitled

          Over the years I have come to notice a disturbing trend that I like to call the "Generation of the Entitled". This is that younger generation that walks around with the mindset that the world should be given to them & that their word is law. Even more, most of this generation is Rude, Arrogant, Lazy, & Conceited.  We have all seen them around everywhere we go. In the class room it's the kid who has the audacity to tell a teacher that "My Mommy & Daddy tax dollars pay your salary".  In the stores it's the person who you see mindlessly scanning credit card after credit card looking for the one with an available balance so they can get the latest BCBG pump and Coach hand bag. I'm not an opponent of showering your child or anybody with money & gifts but we should also teach our kids the value of a dollar, hard work & respect. If you see a disrespectful child follow them home & I bet you fill find a disrespectful parent. On the flip side of that some parents do nothing at all to discipline or correct their child when they see them behaving badly. The only way to stop this trend MUST start in the home & community. Whatever way you see fit to raise your child is your business, but don't get mad when your kid's teacher calls & say that they are becoming a classroom problem, if you do nothing to curb that "Generation of The Entitled" attitude.
