Analytical viewers should have realized several things about the young girls on this television program. Firstly, when it comes down to it, very few of these girls actually had a good time at these lavish parties. Instead they spent the entire party doing one or more of the following:
Yelling at their parents.
Yelling at their friends.
Pouting for some odd reason.
Kicking former friends out of the party.
Worrying about being embarrassed.
Worrying if the hundreds of people there, are enjoying the party.
The question must be posed, where should the blame be placed? The parents naturally! These children have been raised to know no bounds and have no respect. I was raised in a relatively affluent household and am currently a university student. Since the age of 14 I have worked at least 20 hours a week and beginning at the end of my high school years I began working at least 40 hours a week. I did not work for financial reasons but rather because that is what my parents expected of me. I am 22 now, granted I will take a little longer to complete my degree, but I have managed several real estate businesses, maintained a 3.85, managed a work force of 36 individuals at a local retailer, paid my way to see 36 countries. I have learned to survive and excel in the world, because things were not handed to me. What I do not understand is this: Most of America?s wealthy began with very little and built an empire for themselves. For the most part America?s wealthy understand or at least remember what hard work is and what it did for them. These parents are doing a complete disservice to their children. Even if these parents plan to financially support their children for their entire lives, it will never lead to true happiness and contentment.
