It is very depressing for kids to learn that the new XBox-360 might have bugs.

Your age is showing. I rocked my 15 year old straight "A" student, 15 year old granddaughter to sleep last night because she was stressing over her best friend who chose to drink and my she chose not to and called me to come pick her up. Grades are easy for her but her best friends father is in Iraq and she feels she has failed her friend because she was not ready for the fast life. 15 is as tough today as the 40's were for my mom.

I remember hating Sundays-- cuz that's when I typically did my weekend homework. For some odd reason, I really liked Thursdays-- even if I had an assignment due the next day.

Otherwise, my childhood was pretty carefree.

What did these brats ever do before tv, Tivos, computers and all their dopey, stooopid electonic games? I was digging trenches when I was 10, and racking steel bars when I was 12 years old... Pathetic where the youngsters are today when they piss and moan that they don't have $150 Nike footwear.

I pressure my kids (mostly just the dumb one) because I don't want them to end up going to a college named after a state. Hopefully, unlike my own parents, I'll live long enough for them to understand why I did it and thank me.

Having spent a childhood under the threat of nuclear annihilation, I'd say kids today don't know what stress is.
