I would say they very well are spoiled to the brink. It's discipline and respect for other people is the main issue to me though. I believe I'm the only person my age (where I live) that actually says "Thank you" or "You're welcome". Meanwhile, I get picked on by other people my age, because they lack respect and have such a freedom to speak whatever they want without considering one's feelings. The internet shows this attribute to it's highest from my experience.
I grew up in very tough neighborhoods, not knowing who my parents were and lived in near-poverty. I was constantly pulled out of school and moving to different places that I never settled down with being friends with someone. That, including abuse (mostly drugs). That made me feel alone (I still do to this very day), and people only point and laugh because they are filled with love or spoiled with whatever they want.
That is why I would give up everything I have, all the materials, even my beloved music, to move somewhere that doesn't have these things and hopefully I would find more kindness. That's just a theory of mine that, people who don't have things given to them freely on birth, would see how hard it is to obtain them (even food). Being respectful would mean being rewarded with these things, not just cursing total strangers and then asking "Can I have this mom?" and getting it for nothing.
It's hard to go anywhere in public without running into a jerk, but I still feel I have a right to my freedom regardless of how people feel about me. I mean even now, typing this, I have the feeling in the back of my mind that tells me someone's going to give me meaningless input on my opinion in total disrespect. But you know, I simply deal with these types by adding them to my eternal block list.
