    The silver spoon causes so many issues. Typically, people that have S3 (Silver Spoon Syndrome), and this is from personal experience, have issues with common things, like paying bills on time, showing up to places and gatherings on time, and other similar RESPONSIBLE acts. The problem is that since the don't have any real responsibly, they don't learn how to manage time, money, or resources. I know several S3 afflicted people, I hesitate to call them friends since its more about them then it is a real friendship, and all of them pretty much act the same. They think since they have practically unlimited funds so does everyone. So everyone should be able to go out to eat or to the bars or just out in general at the drop of a hat, and then they want to have an attitude problem when they are told otherwise.

    I don't think your parents love you much if they give you everything you want.

    "Hey Pa! Can I snort some drugs in the living room?"
    "Sure thing, son!"

    I doubt the second one is a good answer.

    I think a lot of times people who grow up being handed everything to them on a silver platter, have a very hard time with the word no. They just can't accept any kind of rejection. I feel like its possible they could change, though, but it would be really hard, and it would take a serious event just to give them that dose of reality to make them realize that in life we can't have everything we want.

    this is fucking ridiculous. It completely depends on the person. I've grown up in an upper middle class family, with quite well off parents and I do most things myself. I actually feel guilty/embarrassed if one of my parents tries to help too much. I feel as if i'm being the 'rich kid'. All the comments i've read here just seem to be people stating the obvious. Saying all people who grow up with a privileged lifestyle with become snobby little shits. To be fair some do, but it's like someone like me saying every totally independent person is only like that because they're poor and have no choice, but it won't matter anyway because they'll probably end up in prison or the doll. mental

      Agreed. My family wasn't what you might call "rich" when I was growing up, but we were definitely very privileged and knew a lot of very rich people from the school I went to. I knew two boys who got everything they wanted, but they were taught to appreciate that. They were the most well-mannered, sweet kids I think I've ever met, and I hate the "rich" stereotype.

    I never got *anything* that I wanted, and yet, I also never grew up! I think that makes more sense than the other way, though.

    Kids that are spoiled and given everything they want grow up to be monsters. They think its okay to do drugs because they were taught at a young age that whatever they want they can have. So it stays in their mind and when they get older they start doing drugs, smoking, hitting, yelling, etc.

    Some parents think its okay to spoil your kid but its not. It has devastating effects when they get older, and they never learn to grow up.

    Being given everything does not stop you from growing up. It might make you narcissistic and greedy. It might turn you into a snob but it does not mean you are not growing up. Some people who are rich get everything they want there entire lives. They by estates and sometimes start businesses. It does not mean that they don't grow up. They are just very lucky.

    I grew up in a middle class home. Both parents had their finacial ups and downs, especially in the 2000 dot com crash, but compared to some kids I was the "rich kid," and compared to others I was poor.

    Still, looking back on life, compared to most people in THE WORLD, I'm considered rich. I got mostly what I wanted for birthday and christmas. I'm age 20, I've successfully had 3 jobs, and I go to college.

    I grew up. So yes, people who get whatever they want do grow up, but it depends on the individual.

    I have a friend who is sorta kinda like that but I don't think everyone who get what they want don't grow up. I think that immature people are either confused or simply need to experience what it is like to grow up, in order to make them realise that they, themselves, need some improvements. I hope that made sense!

    Getting everything you want? Like eternal youth and health? No one gets everything they want.
