In just about any situation, put yourself in the other person's place and think about how YOU were feel if it were that way.
Also, stop putting yourself and your desires & wants first. Start thinking about other people first & yourself second. While this is a good place to start, don't hold to this method all the time (you still need to hold onto your self esteem, in other words).
Ask yourself if you REALLY need this thing, or MUST go to this place, or absolutely MUST mouth off when you're mad. If you just stop and think for a second and not be so reactionary, it will start to turn things around for you and you won't come off as a selfish, whiny spoiled pain in the a$$.

Not exactly sure how it happens, I just know that I was always one until I was about 18 when I moved away from home, then me and my mum got on really well and became really close. I appreciated family a whole lot more when I was out on my own. It took until about 26 to really start to realise what an idiot I was, though, I was a horrible friend and acted very very spoiled even though I'd not been brought up that way. Now, at 32, I'm still a bit of an idiot but I can see exactly where I go wrong in my attitudes and behaviour, I can only try to remember how I felt after doing something stupid and to recognise it before I happens next time. Maybe in another 10 years I'll be much better, who knows. I think maybe you've already taken a big step by recognising that you might have a problem. Good luck!

It's encouraging that you can admit that your an ungratful brat. Most brats that I see, don't seem to have a clue that they act so awful.
In all honesty, I can't imagine that your happy being that way and I don't think you need anyone here to tell you how to act right, but since you asked, here's my two cents....
1. Identify how/when you act ungrateful. You know your being that way, now just identify when/where your being like that. Write it down and next to it, write down what you can do to change. Usually it will just be the opposite of how your currently acting.
Think of a time or times when someone acted that way to you. Keep it real and admit how it made you feel. Do you really want to make other's feel that way?
Lastly, remember,..we can be forgiven for our mistakes, attitudes, etc...but words are very strong and they do damage. You can't just take them back......
I hope you turn it around.......

i dont think of shes a brat, i think of shes basically moody cos of the teenage hormones. i individually sense undesirable for her feeling unhappy and enable down all the time. ur father and mom might desire to have advised her she will have a funds ie: u can get no extra effective than $2 hundred worth of provides. i kinda blame ur father and mom for no longer putting their foot down quicker. they created a monster themself.

Asking the question itself is a recognition of the problem. Good luck. I'm assuming it's for yourself, of course...
