East Snob

            It truly amazes me how ungrateful kids can be. I hear kids complaining all the time about where they live and how much our school is a prison and sucks. Honestly, every time I hear someone complain, I lose a little respect for them. Not to brag, but we live in an area with a considerably high standard of living. Our school is one of the best in the nation, and kids here are spoiled with the newest gadgets. If you’re living in an area where you can total your car FOUR times and your parents still replace it, you have no room to complain. So, naturally, it boils my blood when I hear someone say “God, I can’t wait to get out of here. Walton/East Cobb sucks.” I think to myself “Ok, buddy. Let’s take you up to North Cobb and see how much better you like it in a school that requires metal detectors at the front entrance.”

            It makes me even crazier when kids get angry that they got in trouble for breaking the rules or the law. I’ve heard people say they’re going to court for “stupid shit”. Meaning, they broke the law and got caught. Newsflash. You’re not above the law. If you get caught doing something illegal, there ARE going to be consequences. Just follow the rules, and you’re fine. Don’t get mad because you’re in trouble for doing something you knew you weren’t supposed to be doing in the first place. That was your stupid choice. Now you get to live with it.

            Others just complain about how the people are terrible. Guess what. There are going to be people like this no matter where you go. Appreciate where you are now, because I guarantee, you won’t be living anywhere this nice for a while once you move out. If your biggest problem is that a few people around you are less than desirable, you’re doing pretty damn well. So stop complaining and appreciate all you have.
That’s all I’ve got to say about that.
