I'm spoiled and don't feel bad about it. Should I?
So I'm 16. I have never had a job, and I don't want one. I have an iPhone 6, and I have my own room with a flatscreen tv in it. Over the past 5 years I think I have had a total of 4 laptops and one PC, two if I count the PC I have specifically for movies. When I go to the mall with my parents, we buy lots of stuff obviously, and I don't help them with any of the bags. I'm not like the other spoiled kids who have an attitude and act really mean and such, my parents never asked me to help them, even though it's pretty obvious they need it sometimes. I also don't study for school, play sports, ever had a girlfriend, been to a party, etc. All I do is play video games all day. One of my friends pointed out that I'm spoiled and that it will screw up my life later on, and I've never thought about it before. Should I feel bad about letting my parents do everything in my life?
You should feel bad about it because if you always rely on your parents for everything, you won't learn to do anything by yourself. Like you said you don't study which means that you'll fail your exams and won't get a good job if you don't get a good job, you might not have enough money to buy your own place to live. You'll end up living with your parents and girls don't like guys that still live with their parents and have bad jobs. It will screw you up so I think that you should feel bad
I get if you don't feel bad about being spoilt because really you're living a pretty good life, but understand that when you grow up and become an adult your parents won't be there for you all the time and even if they are not pushing you to help around now someone else will. Now you're living under your parents and you're still a minor and you can't do much as one but as soon as you grow up you will start to make your own decisions and you will need some serious common sense to decide and right now you need to start being more responsible, stop relying on people, (no offence) stop acting like a trustfund baby and get your act together because one day all of this might be gone. Don't feel guilty about what you have, be grateful because your parents work hard to give you what you have and you have to respect that not take advantage of that because one day you will have to do it on your own.
- I feel bad for downloading music? I've downloaded a lot of songs onto my phone using YouTube converter and now I feel bad about it. I honestly would buy albums if I had the money, but I'm 14 with no money whatsoever and I'm not going to get my parents to buy every album I want because that's unfair and would also be a lot of albums. I'm updating my iPhone soon and will be restoring my current iPhone. When I get my new phone, should I just start buying the music?
- How to cheer up? I feel really bad because of today? Okay today i went for a little swim and my iphone got stolen. My parents grounded me and said had to work (i don't know how i'm 16 years old) and get the money myself to buy a new phone. My mom said i i was a liar and that i didn't deserve anything from them because she found out i was seeing someone 1 month ago… NOT ANYMORE i hate my life also.i'm fat, ugly and now i have no communication to my friends so i will feel more "out" of my group this sucks
