Not true. I don't hate it.

Just because things aren't going the way you want or you can't get the things you want, doesn't make life suck. In fact, you choose the way your life goes. So what if your parents can't buy everything you want. That's not their fault you're in high demand.

Kids and teenagers these days think their parents have all this money just laying around... Well, they don't. They only get a certain amount each year that they have to use wisely. Not every cent can go to your little pointless wants. They spend it on what is needed. Ever think that they have to pay for mortgage or rent where you are living? Also for car insurance, health insurance, bills, taxes? What about other needy things like food, clothing, and gas for the car?

Everyone strives to get the best of what they see. They want an Abrecrombie and Fitch shirt that's plain but only has the brand logo on it for $40, yet at Wal-Mart or Target you can get the same shirt for $15 without the logo. It's the same shirt, just one has the brand name on it and the other doesn't.

Parents want what's best for their children, but most parents have trouble keeping up with needs and necessities. You get what you get, don't b***h about it.

Of course, the ones who can't get what they want... They find a way by breaking the law. They steal money from people, sometimes their parents or relatives, and go out and buy what they want. Yeah, that's a good life to have... Not. That money is needed for something and you're just taking it away so you can make your selfish self happy.

Nobody wants to be poor or be considered poor. I say, lighten the hell up, wake up, and smell the coffee. Come to your senses and talk to your parents as to why they can't get you your $60 pair of pants or $40 shirt. Get to understanding these things before you judge your life.

Even though this isn't what life is as a whole, it's a good portion of what drives kids and teenagers to hate it and possibly commit suicide, but that's usually for something else.
