I couldn't agree more. It seems like people these days think of work as a life style option. What a shame. I wouldn't complain if they were spending this time in school but they aren't in school. They aren't doing anything.

after school you work after work you go and do what you please. kids dont get what the real life is about, they live soly on their parents to help them get cars, and other stuff they want. shur they should go to school and better their education they just think they took the easy way out, they will soon find that their easy way will leed them to being bums or working for ten twelve bucks an hour. it is bull i know.

totally agree with that, a lot of kids are just living off parents money, driving fancy cars and having fancy cell phones. Not to say all teenagers are like that, I'd say one reason is because our culture has become one of getting things fast and now, and if we don't get we become bored, I mean when was the last time you played a board game... Kids these days just seem to find it so hard to do anything creative and instead spend there days in front of 7-11

lol i know. i remember that when i was 7 years old i had my first job mowing yards and laying brick for my trailer park, i had to save that money and buy school supplies and stuff i needed for the year such as clothes. now days they are "ergophobic" (affraid of work). the girls and guys are affraid to break a nail

its good you have a job you do more than most. however i do not expect you to be independent of your parents since your 15, however what i am saying is for those people that are 17 and older, the people that are 35 and living in the bacement in their parents house. they do not do anything. we do not say your bad its just a generalization of many kids not specific, many kids are like this and that is whats sad.

I am sad to find myself planted in the category of lazy. I am, in fact, a smart student however I lack the initiative due to these uncertain reasons. However, yes, it may be dependence and reliance to my parents. I won't say I'm not reliant, however I can also say I'm not entirely reliant. My thoughts to this matter is the ever-evolving world. We keep getting more and more things that would allow people to do less work or have more entertainment etc, and it's affecting the way people think (in my opinion). Things like cell phones, video games (especially in my case), computers, itouches, and the likes, they all make things easier yeah, but at the cost what's been said. I'm essentially a victim too now that I come to think about it.

...Yet, unless we have a technical depression, I doubt we can do much over it unless people truly want to get their 'hands dirty' and intervene against this laziness.
