I'm a spoilt <span title="brat.........................but">brat........................</span> i don't want to be?

Question

I get $150 a month plus what i earn from my job (10 dollers an hour) but i usually expect more money from my parents.

i don't save it, i spend it on material things (clothes, bags, shoes, make-up) etc. I swear at my parents, i tease my brothers.

I expect stuff i want straight away, i'm very demanding and if i don't get it i keep complaining until i do, and i do get what i want, always.

If my parents tell me to clean something usually i ignore them and if they give me a lecture on something i turn up my ipod

Am i a spoilt brat or a normal teenager?

How can i stop being such a brat.......it's like a habit.

(I'm 14)

Answer 1

You get $150 a month.... so you work 15 hours a month so that&#039;s like almost 4 hours a week.... doesn&#039;t make sense.

And yeah you are a brat.

Answer 2

You sound EXTREMELY spoiled, just like I used to be. I think you could just do things differently.  Offer to help out without being told, listen when being spoken to, say thank you and be appreciative, and help others less fortunate.  Realizing it is the first step.

Thank you and good day,

Answer 3

BOTH

lol, the ipod thing what teenage kid doesnt do that or slam the door right in their parents face? we all have our moments it just seems like your going a little overboard, its not your fault you spoiled and got used to it, its your parents, but now that your older, you should install better values in yourself. Sure the bags and cosmetics are tempting but are they really worth your whole paycheck, start saving up for college or a car its okay to use some of your paycheck just not all of it. you never know when your going to need money desperatley, in highschool alot of my friends worked, went to school, cleaned, cooked and they didnt even get to use their paycheck! They used it on house payments. Consider yourself lucky.

Answer 4

You are spoiled, but its not your fault. Your parents are spoiling you. If you don&#039;t want to be then just try to be a better person (not that your arn&#039;t already) I mean you shouldn&#039;t swear at your parents.

Answer 5

I get $160 a month.... and I don&#039;t work..

I&#039;m 15. I spend it on games.

1. Listen to their lectures

2. Be considerate

3. Be less demanding

Yes, you are spoiled. The best cure is Military Boarding School.

Answer 6

Most people would consider you one i was the same way but not that bad. Then I moved with my bf and he doesn&#039;t give me half as much of what i usually get and it is so hard for me now because i miss it

Answer 7

i think ur being a normal teenager just be a little more respectful to ur parents i think u&#039;ll grow out of it

Answer 8

Spoiled *****! lol jk

Just.. try to tone down the attitude, keep reminding yourself to be nice to people.

I was like, so mean a year ago. I just started hanging out with some new people too ( not ditching my old friends) because sometimes our friends infulence the way we act.

Answer 9

What I wanna know is what kind of job you&#039;re working that pays $10 an hour to a 14 year old?

Anyway, it&#039;s SPOILED not spoilt. It&#039;s not your fault though, it&#039;s the way you were raised. When you realize that you&#039;re acting &quot;out of hand&quot;, try to stop yourself.

EDIT: MAN! I wish I could give &quot;MeNoTroll&quot; like, 10 thumbs up right now!!

Answer 10

thats called being a ***** kiddo.

Answer 11

very spoilt ....

lose the attitude and grow up ....

you need to be able to stand on your own two feet, yes you are 14, but if you are old enough to earn an income you are old enough to start to be independant .... try to not spend the $150 you get amonth .. save it!  only buy what you can afford.

but normal for siblings to fight .... unless you are pushing that to the extreme ..... then they just may outgrow you and leave you completely alone!

Maybe your parents shouldbe stricter with you .. and not let you get away with everything .. they are to blame here too .. not just you ...

good luck with it ...

Answer 12

I am in UK and my daughter is exactly the same as you but she is only 11.

I just know I have it all to come with her, she is rude and I end up so hurt by her words yet I know she is hormonal.

I dont remember my son going through anything like this, maybe its a girl thing.

Please dont be rude to your parents they only want whats best for you and they care.

Try to care back.

Answer 13

you&#039;re a brat, well your parents probably think you are a ***** but cant say it to your face. Wait till the money stops then you&#039;ll be in pain.

Dont push it any further. Your parents dont have to love you, and they wont.

Its easier to give you what you want than to fight after a long day at work, but just you wait, your dad or mom will come home one day and you&#039;ll be a rude little sod and they will cut lose and not even feel bad.

You&#039;re not normal. You wouldn&#039;t be my daughter

Answer 14

No you are a brat.  Keep up the habit and by the time you are out of high school no one will like you.

Answer 15

Tell your parents to give you have of your allowance,and half your pay check,and put it into a account for you.So when you turn sixteen you can pay for own car,and cover the insurance.



This should make both of you happy working toward a goal

Then take 25 dollars a month and support a child from feed the children this should make you feel good,as well as your parents.Your showing them,and yourself that you can be selfless.

Keep your room clean,your bathroom clean,and do your own laundry.

I think you can handle that cant you?

Answer 16

lol you have a job and your fourteen?

your not spoilt

and 150 isnt that much....

and its normal of you to tease your brothers and stuff.

Answer 17

Sorry to say this but someone has to. YOu are a brat. Sorry :( You need to treat ur parents with respect. I say that you cut back on how much cash they give you. Getting what you want all the time is boring - working for it is so much more fun. whinign and demamding is immature and no-one will tae yoi seriously if you do this!! do not ignore them!!! listen to their vies and not ur ipod!! Dial it down a liittle.

OK, now the good news. To stop being a brat, you need to WANT to stop it! You&#039;ve already done this. (GOD I SOUND FUNNY ATM). Dont go &quot;Cold Turkey&quot; lol but slowly reduce your spending, meanness. Also, be nice to your brothers and parents. Buy them something or even better..... make them dionner one night or something!! AFter the hard trial period, youy will become used to it!! need any help, ask me again lol. Good luck x

Answer 18

you re not spoiled u just need to bring Ur attitude level down

Answer 19

spoiled brat for sure...i would never date a girl like you..EVER...and im sure many guys wouldnt like a girl that acts like you as well...soo to change this be less demanding..sure if your gonna ask for more money get ur lazy @ss up and help around the house in someway...and i swear ur getting more than enough you need for clothes...lol...just act less B!tchy

Answer 20

both.  if you know you are doing it then try to control it as best you can.  appologize to your parents take the money they give and the money you earn and buy THEM something nice.

Answer 21

Of course you&#039;re a brat.

How do you stop? By doing opposite of what you say you do.

Like...save your money--you don&#039;t have to have the latest of everything.

Swear at your parents--if I&#039;d done that, I&#039;d been to the dentist office repairing what teeth I&#039;d have left.  It&#039;s called respect.  You know, if your parents didn&#039;t have jobs, you wouldn&#039;t be getting all this money a month.  I used to get $10.00 a week and to get that I had to do chores around the house.  No sitting around turning up the I-pod when I didn&#039;t want to hear anyone.

Stop complaining--you&#039;ve got it easy.  

Besides, life isn&#039;t about always getting what you want or having it your way.  This ain&#039;t Burger King.  And if you expect to do this for the rest of your life, wow, are you in for a shock.  Disappointment will be your closest friend.

But I think you know all of this.  Stop pushing buttons to be annoying and grow up.

No one likes being around a spoiled brat.

Answer 22

you are spoiled and i hope you&#039;re not planning on having very many friends acting like that...

Answer 23

You sound really spoilt. Teenagers are moody and rude but not that rude and demanding. If you want to change, help your parents out around the house, Don&#039;t accept such a large amount of money a month and try to be nice to your siblings as much as you can.

Answer 24

You are kind of asking for too much. I&#039;m stating facts, you are acting spoiled.

You should replace the bad habit with the good habits..

Answer 25

haha I&#039;m the SAME way! But if we quit being brats and be nice we won&#039;t get what we want! Lol.

Answer 26

Yup, sounds pretty bratty to me!  And no, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s normal teenage brattiness.  Well, teasing your brothers is normal; wanting clothes, bags and makeup is normal; even turning up your ipod and rolling your eyes is (unfortunately) pretty normal.  But the swearing and the whining and demanding things until you get them... that&#039;s acting like a 2-year-old.  You should&#039;ve grown out of that by now.

But here&#039;s something to think about that might help you stop.  My daughter is 14, and she has a friend a lot like you.  This friend treats her parents the same way... she whines and complains and begs and throws a fit until she gets what she wants.  And she always gets what she wants in the end, so she continues to do it because it works.  But guess what?  All of her friends think she&#039;s an immature little brat.  They imitate her and make fun of her behind her back because of the way she acts around her parents.  This girl has no idea that her friends feel that way.  She probably doesn&#039;t even realize that they notice how she acts.  But they all do, and nobody respects her.  

Chances are, your friends are thinking the same thing about you.  And I&#039;m sure that you ARE a normal teenager in that you care what your friends think of you.  I&#039;m pretty sure that you&#039;d be awfully embarrassed if you knew what your friends really thought and said about the way you act.  And don&#039;t think they don&#039;t know.  Anyone who&#039;s been over at your house has seen you do it, because you do it out of habit without even realizing it.

If being a mature, cooperative, appreciative daughter isn&#039;t important to you, then maybe being respected by your friends is important enough to make you stop and think and start acting your age.

Hope this helps some!  Good luck!  =]
