Entitled teens: How do I stop my teenager from being entitled? 25
What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?
'Today's teenagers are far more hopeless than anything humanity has ever produced before,' according to Jeremy Clarkson, former presenter of Top Gear. He's talking about generation Z, which is the label for those born between 1997 and 2012 and the first to grow up entirely connected to the internet. His claim is that 'the offensive word today's entitled teens have never heard is 'no'. '
There are many articles about entitled teens, yet there are statistics that show they drink less, have fewer teenage pregnancies, and are more concerned about job prospects than previous generations.
So what is an entitled teen, is it all bad, and how do we make sure that we're not raising one?
