Kids Today...

As we go further into the new year, the more I keep thinking about the past. There's just something about it that kept bugging me about it. I know I've told myself not to regret any decisions that I have made over the years however there are some which I would change if given the chance. The sad thing is, I think I am still in love with my ex-girlfriend. It's just hard letting go of someone to whom you have poured all your heart and soul into. But I guess it's OK that she had moved on. Maybe it's time I moved on. Ever since our time together, there hasn't been any other girl who could fill the void in my heart when you left.

Anyway, today I'm going to blog about something which is of relevance to the youths of today. First question of the day is: Have you ever noticed just how fortunate kids are nowadays?

Well if you haven't, I certainly have. Kids today are just so darn lucky to have been in a time when their parents are much more affluent than they were say 20 years back. Almost everything that they desire have been spoon fed to them with a silver spoon. I very nearly choked on my lunch when I overheard a kid complain to his friend that he got only $10 for allowance that day. So i was wondering to myself, just how much do kids nowadays get for allowance. I was reading the papers a few days back when I came across this very interesting article which headlined "Are today's kids too spoilt and pampered?". I agree totally with the headline seeing as to how kids today prefer their comfort or rather demand it. I was totally shocked when I read the article stating that kids in secondary/primary schools refused to eat only sweet potatoes for recess as part of the Total Defense Campaign. My jaw totally dropped when I read that article because I could not simply believe just how spoilt these brats were. When I was younger, whatever was on the table would be consumed and nothing was left untouched seeing as to how we were fortunate enough to have a meal to eat.

Anyway, to lighten things up after the heavy topic, here's a comic for you readers to enjoy.
