you know what i dont care about my spelling and i think you are rude to bring it up.D A

You need to give her a brake shes probably tired of work meant for adults and you complaining about her.If kids get work thats meant for adults teach us and make us feel like adults.

Well hey at least you didn't base your entire opinion on a single incident. I wish I could count the number of times young voters were condescended to by the media or other politicians for being unable to make a good decision. In fact it is these same low expectations that probably caused the problem that you referred to with your daughter.

I don't know how old your daughter is and I would agree with some of your thoughts however, perhaps she really has been trying and it may be very difficult for her to have gotten to where she is. If you agree that she has done better over these last couple of years why not mention that you have noticed this? I'd bet it would mean a lot to her if you did. Her way of thinking of deserving credit is much different than your own right now, I'm sure. But don't let her think you're expecting too much from someone who is, perhaps, unable to give you all you wish.

Kids start thinking this way when every player in every team in every sport gets a trophy at the end of the season. No one wants to hurt anyone's feelings so they go to the other extreme and do a different kind of damage. Just wait till that generation gets handed the keys to the country. Political Correctness is destroying this country.

thank i agree whit that ; )

It is human nature up to a point Jess...but some parents (adults) go a bit or way too far in treating their children so condescendingly. Kids and teens are a work in progress and I think some parents lose sight of that. Is there a kid on this earth that hasn't thought their parents are a bit lame or stupid about things?

I agree its human nature for kids to not be that smart...Then there was school and adults use the power of there age and money to stay better then us.

That is all a matter of relativity. I'm 15 and at times I believe that I know more on certain subjects than my parents, however at times I feel that other adults know much more than I because they have had more experience than I have. But in a more litteral sense adults typically are smarter because they have had a more complete education than we have.

Ask yourself why they ignore you locke? Yes, some kids are smarter than adults at times about certain things but certainly not in all things. You will have your say when you get a bit older or learn the skills you need to get along with people without tearing them apart. I don't know what your school petitions have to do with anything but perhaps you'd care to explain.
