They don't really seem all that different than normal teenagers actually ... other than having no idea how much things cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-8304366400679755382009-06-30T15:03:37.645-04:002009-06-30T15:03:37.645-04:00I see nothing wrong with the show.

It is not what I would consider normal especially for the young lady whose parents live in the Hamoptons while she lives in the city with her teenage brother. However, for those kids, this is all they know. It is their way of life.Tired of being brokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026029030939029254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-55072412533779039432009-06-29T23:31:02.638-04:002009-06-29T23:31:02.638-04:00Bronx Chica...I look at it for entertainment..they...Bronx Chica...I look at it for entertainment..they are hilarious & spend their parents money in ways that are horrible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-33255220099388900852009-06-24T15:18:54.272-04:002009-06-24T15:18:54.272-04:00I haven't seen the show, but in real life I...I haven't seen the show, but in real life I'd like to depend the people you are being disgusted over. <br /><br />If they made a show about middle class/lower class children in high school you would probably be more disgusted. Growing up many average income family children have zero guidence and absentee parents too! Atleast wealthy parents are out working long hours and providing for their children. The lower class are more than likely negleting their kids for the same reason to work long hours to put food on the table or for other reasons like ignorance, studpity or some chemical dependence.<br /><br />Before you go criticing take out your jealous and you'd realize there is no difference in their behavior other than no sense of money and a hard days work of earning it.<br /><br />I'm not wealthy, went to public school and grew up in a middle class long island town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-89758013033495603662009-06-24T13:08:07.633-04:002009-06-24T13:08:07.633-04:00HAHA!

Peer pressure at our school was not to flaunt it. But at the same time, it was very galling to have WASP-y kids come back from Christmas break in Jamaica with deep, dark tans.<br /><br />I have news for you though, most teens, whether rich or poor are kind of spoiled, obnoxious and terrible. Not all, but a lot. I go drinking with their Yuppie analogues in DC all the time. They just turn into horrible adults.<br /><br />BTW, your subliminal messages just flashed a stripper photo. She's pulling down her shirt, flashing her mammary gland's spout while some gives her money. V.

I bet that the kids wouldn't think anything was at all awry if they watched themselves.Revanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293868300535734672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-44023274491834262462009-06-24T12:55:01.145-04:002009-06-24T12:55:01.145-04:00I watched part of it, as I am a sucker for Bravo&#...I watched part of it, as I am a sucker for Bravo's reality shows. But I stopped watching halfway through because I couldn't stand watching how incredibly spoiled these kids were, and how most of their parents were completely absent. I like Gossip Girl because it is totally fake and seems completely ridiculous, but after watching a bit of this maybe it's not so uncommon.Lindseyhttp://pickyeatings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-60507967162631916082009-06-24T12:27:43.399-04:002009-06-24T12:27:43.399-04:00My husband and i started watching and changed the ...My husband and i started watching and changed the channel we felt so sick to our stomachs with it.

I have never been so happy to be a lower-middle-class North-westerner in all of my life. I hope that the show will be a learning experience for these kids - to show them how ridiculous they actually are so that they can change sooner rather than later.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572861782573577303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-27747276899012330532009-06-24T11:33:49.322-04:002009-06-24T11:33:49.322-04:00I watched a preview of the show, and it looks horr...I watched a preview of the show, and it looks horrible!
