the value of a dollar

So once again I'm watching TV.. sweet 16 on demand to be exact. I watch each episode that they have had on and with each one I'm more and more turned off by them.. I was actually relieved to see that the one girl Haley didn't get a car, well at least they didn't show her get one. You see these kids the children of CEOs, entertainment personalities, celebrities, etc. and I cant help but wonder why do they need all this... your not famous, your not rich, your parents are and at 16 what right do you have to assume that you deserve any of this.
When I watched one teen say that $54,705 wasn't to bad for a car i couldn't help but laugh. some people could only imagine seeing that in a year or two years for that matter. So what would possibly make this girl believe that she, being a 16 year old who doesn't work, deserves it.
Not to say that they have bad parents cuz I'm sure they don't and their parents love them dearly but at some point the ball must have dropped. Many of the parents may or may not have had to work their way everyday of their lives to get to where they are so why not have your children do the same . Why not have your children learn the value of a dollar. I'm not saying  to not provide for them, but make them get a job, don't buy them cars and clothes just because they want it or it makes you feel better. Maybe what these teens are missing are the experiences that most teens have working and saving for a car, or saving up for the Chanel purse, that they want. Because lets face it at 15 or 16 you aren't grown and those aren't things that you most certainly need. And after spending $300,000 on a party for one day where do you go from there? You have hundreds of people there most of which probably aren't your friends, what is the point? To show how fabulous you are, the amount of money you have?.. please it's not your money it's mommy and daddy's money. These are the children who are later to be featured on things like bridezilla because early on they were taught, its ok treat people like shit you still get what you want.

I watch these shows and it sickens me because they spend $300,000 dollars on one night as if money is air and there is an endless supply. As i sit here struggling to pay tuition, buy a car and start my life on my own.. with that amount of money I could do that 300 times over.

Its nice when they ask for toy donations, but how bout instead of spending that money on a party how bout put it in you're college and life savings and have a chill birthday at home. Or put the money in a charity, or start a college fund for underprivileged kids.. do something that you can actually see the good done with it.
