I work in a private, prestigious university. Though the 'kids/young adults' are well-behaved for the most part, they are very spoiled and expect everything to be done for them yesterday. That's how they were brought up. Mom, Dad, Grammy and Grampy have done everything for them since the day they were born.
When things don't go their way, or something becomes a 'struggle', they get very dramatic - to the point of sobbing and saying "I'm going to kill myself! This sucks!" as they have their tantrum.
As they get set for graduation next weekend, I wonder how they're going to make it into the 'real world' where they have jobs lined up - Manhattan, Boston, Chicago, D.C., even London, Paris, Rome...
Will they cry in the boardrooms, court, hospitals, etc when things don't go their way? Will they tell everyone they're going to go home and 'kill themselves' when they lose a court case?
i hear ya, doggie daddy. the inner city kids are much much worse. their parents are the driving forces for their behavior and the parents are still behaving like they are 14 anyway. they are just itching to sue anyone they THINK disrespected them. do you know how hard it is trying to keep a straight face at a parent who comes to a school function wearing fuzzy pajama bottoms, slippers, no brassiere for their triple D's, reeking of booze and weed????
