why do privileged children seem to find more to complain about than the underprivileged.?

Answer 1

Because they know they will be heard...action and reaction. Babies even know that if they cry they get attention.....for those that dont GET the needed attention eventually give up crying. Children who have never had much KNOW, from experience, that its an exersize in futility asking for things that cannot be provided...so whats the point?

Answer 2

It's about priorities. Privileged kids think the world revolves around them. Less fortunate kids know that they are not the centre of the universe.

While suffering is an unpleasant part of life, it does build character. A by-product of suffering is compassion. If you've had to suffer through something, you're more likely to have more compassion, thus complain less.

Little spoiled-brat kids don't have to suffer much, and think they are entitled to complain when life doesn't go exactly the way they want. They have no sense of compassion for other people, and truly don't realise how lucky they are (if you consider being wealthy and privileged a good thing).

Answer 3

It's all about perspective. Pain and difficulty build appreciation. Empathy builds gratitude. These kids have not been faced with or have accepted the harsh realities that life can change in an instant for the worse. For them, if not careful, it may seem that life will always be this way.

I have a friend who recently became paralyzed in one day by some neurological freak happening. She is a music teacher. I don't have the right to complain about a thing...if I do, I say my hurt feelings are much worse than being paralyzed.

Answer 4

underprivileged children are thankful for the things they do receive because they have so little. Some children have to fight and work the whole childhood to have what they do have. They also learn that their is so much more to life then material items. The also handle the reality of real life much better. In my opinion unprivileged children are much more blessed. they now what non-bought love is. and if they lost everything they own and have they can survive

Answer 5

Thats easy, because ignorance is bliss.

If you never even knew what a TV was, why would you complain that you didn't have the latest HD widescreen with digital technologies built in? If you had no education at all you wouldn't complain that you didn't get into that University course you wanted so badly. And if you never even had enough to eat to the point where your body was in a constant state of starvation, you wouldn't complain if your Mum says no to MacDonalds and makes you eat brocolli instead. You'd just be grateful.

Answer 6

That's a generalization, and it isn't always true. Many children who come from "privilege" are very secure, happy, unselfish, people who have their priorities right.

Children from underprivileged backgrounds often have plenty of axes to grind and things to complain about; and often when they don't complain they may actually just do their "complaining" by acting out.

I don't think its fair to generalize about either group.

Answer 7

right here in u.s. we are managing sons and daughters, 8 years previous, who made a plan to kill their instructor and have been very virtually able to hold it out. In yet another incident, a minimum of 8 babies have been charged with kidnapping and assaulting yet another female whilst they videotaped it. it fairly is in the final 2 weeks, and that i could pass on and on. television and internet are spoiling our young babies, and that they could be supervised while they watch it. Violence and sexuality are subjects that are too mature for coming up minds, and in the pursuits of conserving our young babies chuffed, we could continually safeguard their innocence and the excitement of being a toddler for as long as we can. as far as disobeying and rebellling, all young babies do this. it incredibly is a classic portion of fixing into an grownup and could be expected. it incredibly is not the mothers and fathers' interest to maintain the youngster chuffed. it incredibly is the mothers and fathers' interest to guard the youngster and make the not undemanding judgements, no count if the youngster likes it or not.

Answer 8

Because you have to make more noise when people don't take your problems seriously. People think if your privileged you don't need any help and your problems aren't worth their attention. It sounds weird but it can make a person feel unimportant. Also when no one will take you serious or help you small problems can build up.

That's not always the case but it's common.

Answer 9

More Money... More Problems!!!!

If you go to sleep with a roof over your head at night, you are doin better than two thirds of the worlds population!

But people usually don't consider the poor living in other countries. They are too busy worrying about things they don't have rather than being happy with the life they do have.

Answer 10

Because when you get everything you want all the time, you have nothing better to do than complain. They become unappreciative, and inconsiderate..... therefore leading into becoming a complainer. I dont know exactly why, but they do. I know too many spoiled asses, and they all have the same characteristics..... and they complain allot....
