Paris Hilton is a terrible example. She was born with (hundreds of?) millions of dollars. You can't watch The Simple Life and say 'yep, today's youngsters sure are entitled!'...

I think there are some massive generalizations being made in this thread about a whole age bracket of people.... I know a lot of extremely hard working young people who have worked from 14 - 26 (my age)... none of us ever thought life was going to be delivered, and our parents (and schools, and society imo) didn't either.
