All depends on how you raise them in this matter.
My ten year old grand daughter asked if she could come with down to the shelter to help serve meals to the homeless this Christmas. She has also
bundled up some of her nicer clothes and toys she has out grown to give away.
Now, as far as gifts...............many times my grand daughter has received (from Ebay) very beautiful clothes at a fraction of the cost because they
were used (good quality but used). I've asked her if this is okay and she said it's sort of neat getting something some other person wore and
loved.......like it has a history to it.
All how you raise em.
We have TV shows that promote do nothing but party and get in trouble mean girls like Paris Hilton and god, now we have Lady Gaga.............our role
models are crude, rude, mean and not really good role models - they just show young girls that you too can be a bitch.
I'm amazed with some of the good TV series that have failed while Bridezillas and CupCake Girls go on year after year............TV is a waste of
space and unfortunately many kids are now being parented by TV.
If this young lady were my daughter, I'de make her spend two years in the Peace Corps in Africa and see how 3/4 of the world lives.
A thread about her with her and her stupid mother is really not worth a star or flag.
Why don't we show some young adults that are doing something with their lives, making the planet a better place vs the spoiled ones, the service to
self ones?
Why is it we find the naughty and obnoxious people so much more interesting than the good, kind hearted ones?
This girl and her mother are a waste of space.
