When you compare what American teens have against what most of the world's people have, they do just fine. They have good clothes, usually a decent car to drive, they get an education and some get it practically free, parents give kids what they didn't have growing up and a lot of them don't have a great work ethic. I know there are many exceptions, especially from parents who realize that handing money and goodies over to their children is not in their best interests.
Oh, I see, so now you are comparing American young people to those in third world countries?

So these are the luxury items your referring to. Thanks for clearing that up.
