Disgusting
It amazes me how spoiled rotten the majority of people are. Maybe it's just because I'm at a private (expensive) school, that I am only at because of a nice, fat loan, but these people are freaking spoiled brats. And the worst part is, they don't even realize it.
"Oh, we're not rich."
"No, my family doesn't have money."
"But I've never gone without. I've never wanted anything and not gotten it." (Honey, you don't even know what 'going w/o' is...)
This is the conversation I just heard between 2 of my roomates, which absolutely sickened me:
"Come tanning with us."
"I don't have any money."
"Oh, just charge it."
"I can't. My dad told my mommy to stop paying off my credit card bills."
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? You are 19 years old, with a job, buy designer clothes/purses and your parents pay your credit card bills? It's positively sickening. That is the only word I can use to describe it. I can honestly say, I am GLAD, heck, even blessed, that my family really doesn't have money. These girls will never appreciate anything. They get, and expect to get, everything handed to them. Don't get me wrong, my family isn't broke. We aren't po'. But, Ang, remember that time (ok, so it was like 10 yrs. ago) that we were absolutely thrilled because we could go out to ice cream, because we hadn't done or bought anything just for fun in so long? I can guarantee you they've never had that kinda happiness. The happiness that comes after you've gone without for so long. I can absolutely convinced that you cannot appreciate what you have until you haven't had. I feel sorry for those who grew up rich and have never known anything else. I'm glad that I did not grow up getting everything I wanted. I'm glad I didn't get a new car for my 16th birthday. I'm glad my parents don't send me "allowance" every month. I'm glad my parents aren't paying for me to go to college. Maybe this is all sounding crazy. The rich may have it easy, but they don't appreciate it, especially not the little things.

Direct quote from Emma KVD this week, I kid you not: (she totalled her car and was talking about getting a new one) "I HATE Jettas! I just hope my parents don't buy me a Jetta. God, if they buy me a Jetta I'm gonna be f***ing pissed!"
My mouth dropped open, I couldn't believe her. I couldn't help saying, "Your parents are buying you a car, I wouldn't complain."
She was just like, "Yeah... "
UUHHGGG!!! I completely second this post. Don't even get me started on a certain Mr. Porterfield. If I make it out of high school without murdering that kid, I'll need 3 solid months of every day deep body massages just to relieve the stress...
