Teenage Observations, Part 4: The Victim Card

I see a lot of young people who grow up in homes with very little income. Where in the past, you would see many people use the memories of their impoverished childhood to spur on a change with their lives; today it seems to be the opposite.

So many teens because of their poor attitudes, outlooks, work ethic, and lack of transportation tend to blame everyone else and make themselves the victim. Everyone else is the perpetrator and they are always being victimized.

I believe the answer to this lies with the other answers, that because they are not engaged in the real world, and because they rely on others who do operate in the real world to provide for them; they feel like its those people who wronged them when they didn’t get their needs met by relying on others.

I’m not sure why they are not engaging themselves in the real world and (instead) rely on others to. I’m sure it has to do something with their crappy upbringings with sorry excuses for parents, but I’m not sure when everything changed. I’m not sure when or why their parents became lousy either, but I’m sure it had something to with their parents and I’m sure that began sometime in the sixties?
