Am I Spoiled?
If I just asked you, "Am I spoiled?" How would you answer? Most everyone I know says that I'm spoiled. I am spoiled though, I live in a wonderful home with wonderful parents that love me very much. I also have a sister who, even though we have our rough patches, loves me inside and out. I love my family, my home, my pets, my friends, and my oppurtunity to have a great education. I am very spoiled. Although I know many spoiled people. I am not the only spoiled one in my home, my city, or the world, ok? My mom always offers to buy me stuff and most often I turn her down and say that I can pay for it myself. I don't ask for alot. I don't have texting, I don't have my own computer (per se), and I don't have tons of stilettos or Uggs. Most girls at my school have there own iPhone, their own computer, they have texting, and they have fifty pair of stilettos and other expensive shoes/clothing. Now call me crazy but my definition of spoiled is getting everything you want and having your mom and dad pay for everything that you want or need. Spoiled means that you have most of the luxurious items that I mentioned above. Now, do I fit that description? I just read this aloud to my sister and she said that it's sad that I think that I have to have fifty pairs of shoes to like my life. I want everyone to understand that I do love my life, and I don't have to have fifty pairs of shoes to love it. I told my sister that my point wasn't to say that, I hate my life because I don't get everything that I want. My point was that I'm tired of people calling me spoiled. I am not spoiled! Who do people think they are that they have the right to call ME spoiled. People always tell me that I am either spoiled or a brat, and let me tell you I am not. Those "spoiled" girls at school get bad grades, get in trouble often, and don't give an effort in the school work. So what people are doing when they call me spoiled is they are comparing me to them. I make awesome grades, I never get in trouble and I work so, so hard to make the grades that I make. So if I am spoiled I think I deserve it for working so hard and being an A-plus student. Because I get these great grades and work hard, I do think that I should be somewhat spoiled. So forgive me for getting what I deserve, If I am in fact so spoiled.

You know, I agree. Being spoiled isn't necessarily a bad thing if your spoiled for all the right reasons. You do have a great fam, your great @ school, & your amazing in your concerts! All of which you try hard @ an excel. So congrats to you for being spoiled for all the right reasons & not letting it get to your head chica....get your spoil on!
ReplyDeleteIf they are accusing you of being spoiled, then they are jealous and want you to feel badly about what you have. Sometimes, material things are not what people are jealous of. The close family you have is not common these days, and others who don't have it may think you are spoiled if you do.
ReplyDeleteHon, I have met some very spoiled gals, and you are NOT in that category. Sure, we are all a little spoiled in some areas. But in a sense to be obviously and boldy spoiled? Not you.
