Do I sound like I'm SPOILED?

Question

I'm going to admit, I know I'm spoiled a lot of ppl have told me already, just from the little things I do or have. But I want to know what you all think. so here's some things about me...

I have my own space (bedroom, bathroom, living room, & office that my mom shares with me)-but I'm hardly even down there, I spend most of my time upstairs in our other living room. I dont ask for a lot (although I get most of the things I ask for) especially since my mom got me a job at her office as a temp. for their secretary for about 4 weeks & I've gotten around $1,000 (half of it was to spend on skool clothes while vacationing in Canada). I had another job before that working at a gardening center and I've been volunteering @ a daycare for the past 3 yrs. I hate doing chores when told to do them. I like 2 do things when I feel up to it. I especially hate washing dishes -i cant understand y we cant just use the dishwasher. I'm sort of shy sometimes but i pay 2 much attention 2 how ppl look...

...I'm 16 going on 17. i love kids but i hate germs. i get really disgusted by dirty houses-especially washrooms

i dont take much public transportation accept airplanes and taxi's sometimes. i mostly get rides in cars

Answer 1

If a lot of people told you, you are spoiled. Take head, maybe its time to grow up.

Answer 2

Yes you are spoiled but you are also blessed with material wealth. My daughters would love to have the things that you have but as a divorced mother of 2 who is raising them alone, it simply is not going to happen. You are not a little girl anymore. You are a young lady and pretty soon, you will be a grown woman. Learn to appreciate all that you have and don't complain about being required to do some manual labor. It will balance you. You don't want to go out in the real world, away from your mother's nest, and not know how to handle yourself. Real life doesn't work the way that you like to live. Things don't wait around until you feel up to it to be dealt with. Being vain seems to be quite popular today so don't blame that on being spoiled. You are a product of our society. Girl, you've vacationed in Canada and are still a minor. That's great! Share some of your fortune with others. Maybe volunteering at Big Brothers/Big Sisters or The Boys & Girls Club could humble you. Realize that there are many who will never have the opportunities that you do but also realize that material wealth doesn't guarantee integrity. One day I hope that you realize that it is so much better to be a genuinely good person that a person who just looks really good. Take care and have a prosperous & blessed life!

Answer 3

Anyone 16 yo who has a job and does volunteer work to boot gets extra points to start off with. If you make your own money, what you spend it on is your own business. The fact that you are asking if you're spoiled and are worried about it means you have a pretty good head on your shoulders.

As for doing chores, seems like your Mom takes pretty good care of you and doesn't ask for much, maybe you should just do what she asks when she asks it, there is usually a good reason. Even if there isn't a good reason, just do it anyway just because it will make Mom happy.

Are you spoiled? No, probably not.

Answer 4

My first thought? Please spell school the right way...that's not ok to use the same amount of letters and just spell it wrong.
Secondly, being spoiled can be determined in many ways. You could be a spoiled kid but you didn't really talk about that. You talked about your good points and didn't really focus at all on the question at hand.
Thirdly, you're almost 18 and out of the house. See what happens when you become an adult and go from there. Parents are supposed to take care of you now and I'm proud of you for having a job.

Answer 5

If that's all the information you're going to present, then I'd have to say that you sound like a relatively normal American teenager to me.

Moreover, who cares if you're spoiled? If you are, that will likely change by the time you have to move away from your parents and forge your own existence. Now, if you never take that step and make something of yourself by continuing to live under your parents' home, then I would say that being spoiled is a horrible detriment to your character. Try not to let that happen.

Answer 6

spoiled probably but u sound more self center than anything else. the world doesn't exist around you alone so take time and appreciate your mom. you mention only your mom so i gather that your mom is single parent.
do u ever thing how hard it is for her. she giving you all you want to make not resent here.
stop for a minute and be grateful for here and once in a while do something good for her....
NOt always U!U!U!.

Answer 7

Yes, the world is not just about you dear. What about helping out your Mom? Doing dishes has nothing to do with liking it! We all do chores because they need to be done! You need to be less self centered and try being a help in this world!

Answer 8

Do not let other people views restrict the special bond between you & your family. Other people may call you spoiled this & that. That most because they didn't receive such treatment. They may be jealous of you or something.

As long as you & your mom are happy this way. That fine although you do have to think about the future & how could you treat your parents better. Since they treated you well.

Answer 9
