How does it make you feel? Do you enjoy it, or does it make you mad?
I watch it but it makes me really mad. It sounds awful but I watch it to make myself feel better about the fact that I don't have much money. I believe that I would rathe be in a moniless situation and be appreciative of what I do have, than be disgustingly rich and have no appreciation for anything or anyone.
Who do you think is to blame? The parents for treating the kids that way, or the kids for expecting it?
Happy mylotting!

I have seen that show twice and I think it is totally silly. It's nuts how much money some people have. And some of the kids are super mean and rude with their parents. "I"m not gonna talk to you if you don't get me this car" and it's not like the car was cheap, it was the amount most would pay for a down payment on a house, but they just want something new and shiny. And, her parents gave her this huge diamond ring and the daughter's like "there better be a car waiting for me." Excuse me!!! Some kids are just majorly spoiled and you really see them on this show. I don't know who's to blame really. I mean if the parents are making good money why shouldn't they let their kids enjoy? But there has to be a limit and buying such an expensive car is just stupid! Anyways its their money what can we do?

Yeah I agree completely, the parents are rich so I don't see any reason they shouldn't spend it on their kids, but sometimes on the show it seems as though the parents are attempting to calm them down with money, like they don't know any other way to console them when things go wrong. I saw on it today one girl said "I didn't meet my dad 'til I was about 9 or 10 so I think he's making up for lost time with money". I think that's ridiculous, trying to buy your kids isn't going to gain respect. But oh well, each to their own I suppose!

I to get mad when I watch that show. I blame the parents. Just because they have tons of money doesnt mean they should let there kids have everything that they want. On the ones that I have watched, the child demands everything and is a total brat. They will have nothing to look forward to making there 16th B-day so extravagant.
Some of those partys cost as much as two brand new cars and the child usually get one of those too!!
Have you seen the show that they do where they take the people from my sweet 16 and they bring them to a forgien country to see what life is like for other people? I cant remember the name of it.

No I haven't seen it but I think I'd like to. They deserve to see things like that. I think it is awful the direspect they show their parents, I would hate to be that spoilt as I don't believe you learn any important values when you're handed everything on a plate. It makes me mad!

I think these girls come to EXPECT it because they're used to getting TREATED that way. A poor girl doesn't expect to have a million-dollar birthday bash, but that's because she understands her circumstances & what her parents can and cannot afford. It's more likely the parents fault for EVER spoiling their children - because once you start, you really can't stop. It just grows on them, they get used to it.
I've only watched this show a couple times - and I didn't like it very much. Like a lot of the shows on MTV these days - I was just bored out of my mind from the silly, mindless teenage drama (or pre-teen, whatever), and I'm like you - it made me feel good about being down-to-earth and never having been spoiled by my own parents. It's sometimes interesting to see how differently these girls live their lives than us, though, isn't it?
