Why are kids so ungrateful nowadays.

They know too much, way more then they should. Parent too scared to pick up a brick and knock them out (figuratively not literally). They need more butt whuppins. do.ob

Spare the rod spoil the child...

Parents didn't teach their kids respect, don't punish them, and give them whatever they want.

I hate those kind of kids, absolutely loathe them.

Exactly this

I think the better question would to be why all these people in their early 20s are still acting like children. I don't mean liking cartoons and stuff like that I'm talking about grown adults acting like petulant toddlers when things don't go their way. By the time I was 21 I was well aware that the world didn't owe me sh*t.

I know what your talking about man. When I was a kid I got in trouble a lot. Seeing kids today just makes me jealous, because they get away with tons of stuff. One time my little cousin threw a huge fit on his birthday, and one time I got in trouble just for calling my little brother a cry-baby after he started crying for the STUPIDEST REASON. Dont even get me started on the reasons my little cousins or siblings cry or throw fits.

Anti-authoritarian upbringing.
