I completely agree with you. When I was in high school I saw many of the "popular" kids in high school treat their parents as if THEY were the kids. Granted, I also saw some people who had gone through life experiences and still we're good people. I grew up blessed in many ways, in the fact that I was dealt a really sh*tty life as a child. Me and my brother were moved from family to family in foster care, my Dad was always in and out of prison/jail, my Mom and Dad both were on drugs. (I'm very proud of my mom because she's been clean for about 12 years but I just moved back in with her about 5 years ago). I don't want sympathy or "oh poor you" I'm just explaining that most kids nowadays don't have to worry about the things we had to worry about. We were literally on our own and made our own choices, good or bad. And, if I may say so myself, my brother and I turned out pretty good. I used to joke with my mom that if half of the kids at my school had to deal with half of what my brother and I had to go through, then the world would be a much better place because then the kids would know what it took to make real life decisions instead of every one of them thinking they'll run for POTUS or all be Doctors and have a seat on the Supreme Court.
