i think having strict parents is way better than not strict parents
i mean like for later times in life i will like make you better person or something and not be a spoiled and get everhuything you want
I agree. My mom was very, verystrict. I'm very grateful to her for the way I turned out. The funny thing is, I do have everything I could want.

I bought my own truck and i am 15, you gotta work for it, but i would think they would get you a phone because of today's lunatics out there.

You don't need a cell phone. No one needs a cell phone. You want one. Be honest. And that statement has to be the whinest one I've heard in a long time. This is exactly whats wrong with this generation, you aren't willing to do anything for yourselves. Its not a parent's job to get you a cell phone or a vehicle, they did their job, they kept you alive and thriving, thats their only obligation to you. They also don't have to pay for your college, so think about that for the future. You're 15? Get a job. Show them that you're a responsible teenager and can take care of yourself without whining about everything you don't have. Then maybe they'll cut you some slack and be willing to meet you halfway.

There are hundreds of thousands of kids in this country who don't have cell phones, and won't have one until they buy it themselves, or a truck. In fact, its hard to believe, but people survived for millions of yearsWITHOUT cell phones, and they actually had social lives!In this day in age, elaborate and tell me exactly WHY you need a truck. Is it because you have a lot of stuff to haul? Feed, grain, hay, etc? Or because you just want a pick-up because everyone else has one and it'll make you more "country"? IE, the same reason you want the cell phone (nix the country). Are you prepared to pay at the pump? YOUR money, not your parent's hard-earned cash thats keeping a roof over your head and food on your table.

Get a job, get it yourself and stop complaining. You're already luckier than a lot of kids thats for sure. Some perspective is what you need.

Hey, i am not like that, and i am15, so not everyone in this generation is like that,i work for my stuff, even the stuff my parents buy me i earn through grades or doing something, i like it when i buy my own stuff. i appreciate it more.

Well, what would be worse?

Having parents who...

Let you own arifle but not a cell phone.

or...

Let you own a cell phone but not a rifle. (I suspect far more teens fall into this category.)
