What about the perspective of those teens. They know they can get everything they want. But what about their aims for future in school, studies or career. There haven’t got any motivation factors, no wishes. Thats a pity!

Of course parents are to blame, but it is important to remember larger societal pressures play a part too. A self perpetuating cycle- the media continually pushing the notion of “luxury lifestyle” in everything from tv shows on the WB geared towards teens, to the Teen People magazine, to even the Gray Lady New York Times. That paper especially, with it’s lifestyle sections and special magazines continues to be completely distorted when it comes to the notion of spending and consumerism.

Personally, this economic crises was needed on a whole bunch of different levels. Let’s hope one of the lessons for many young people is humility. As in learning to be humble.

I think many of them will find it hard. I personally grew up with my parents having a decent income, but they didn’t hand me every little thing I wanted. I had my first job at 13 mowing yards.
