Kids today...



Because it seems to be the only thing on MTV in the weekends, I often end up watching My Sweet Sixteen and despairing. But I'm not sure of it really is a sign of the times that these kids have a Texas-sized sense of entitlement. It seems a lot more likely that these are just original flavour spoiled brats. It's a classic story that there's supposedly something wrong with whichever generation is following you, but no one ever takes into account that a lot of what's wrong with them is the fact that they're teenagers and you're an adult. Data suggests that every new generation is always going to do at least a little better, because they have the work of previous generations to build on, so they'll be fine, as long as you don't screw up.
