Need your insights for my thesis...Signs/attitudes of a SPOILED ADULT (young adults ages 21 - 28)?

Answer 1

Easy - a spoiled adult is someone who will treat people (especially those close to them) quite badly and still be astonished when someone says 'no' to what they want. You'll notice that someone (usually a parent, or a partner, taking over from the parent) is regularly caving to the demands of this individual and feeding the attitude. Anger and abuse are always the initial results of an encounter with someone who will not cave in. By this stage, I think the spoiled brat behaviour is very difficult to reverse and in most cases would take complete immersion in an enviroment with people who will not acquiesce.

Great question, by the way.

Answer 2

I believe that growing up today has to be more difficult than ever . Jobs are scarce (not every kid goes to collage) to rent some place to live if your on your own in just about impossible because of the cost . So young people have to have a level head and be smart in ways that I didn't have to at a young age. And as far as respect ,well that is something you learn from your parents so don't blame the year it is on how someone acts towards others. I am proud of most of the young people now because they keep up on news and politics and finances and are quite fun to talk to.

Answer 3

I've always felt that a spoiled young adult:
A) thinks the world owes them happiness
B) refuses to do anything for themself
C) is lazy
D) thinks that everyone else is getting a better deal than they are, so they are constantly unhappy with their lot in life.

Answer 4

They refuse to accept responsibility for themselves. They can not admit they are wrong. They want it all....Now! They get into financial situations and expect someone else to help them get out. They flitter from job to job. They throw fits when they don't get what they want. This represents my step-son and he is 32.
