A satire of the American dream
23 November 2021
This show is not for the viewers to see the amount of money these families can spend on a sixteenth birthday for their ungrateful brats. The show is a satire of the American dream, and how these kids are out of touch with reality. I am rewatching the show on Paramount whilst on vacation this week for thanksgiving. Every kid is equally ungrateful, and disgusting to their friends and families.

I saw one who screamed at their mother the entire time; calling her an idiot. The mother admitted to taking Valium and Xanax. It is not healthy when you have a kid who takes that much control of your life that prescription drugs are the only way out.

I have never seen teens treat their friends the way these kids do. These girls are notorious for kicking out young girls from their VIPs who guys would find prettier. Two episodes come to mind: one was when two VIPs were being hit on by their crushes. They went off the stage, and left the girl alone there. They were dancing with the two boys. She was alone. It makes you question if she had any friends to begin with. Or if these girls were using her as much as she was using them.

The other was when one threw a Christmas themed party. She said it was the giving time of the year. She compared herself to Mrs Claus. She got everyone from her school out to the football field; including ones she planned on not inviting. She invited people in front of other people who weren't invited. Then she would give this evil grin when a person asked where their invitation was. If she wanted the hottest party in Memphis, then why would she refuse their invitation? My favorite parts are when kids not invited crash parties, and the kids throwing the parties have tantrums about it.

These kids are horrible teens, and perhaps grew up to be horrible people. They peaked in high school. We are built around social influencers in society. Ones who are famous for doing nothing. Kids, don't aspire to be them. Be your own person. Aspire to change the world by going to med school, being a nurse, or being a lawyer. This is not what you want your destiny to be.
