[1] Yes. I'm spoiled & not ashamed to admit it. My parents [my mom, specifically] spoils me like there's no tomorrow. She buys me whatever I want, when I want. Sometimes she'll make me work for it, but that's hardly ever the case. Another reason why she spoils me is because I'm the baby of the family & she just feels the need to make me happy. My mother just loves me & wants me happy, I guess. I'm spoiled WITHOUT the brat.
[2] I'm neutral on this. So, yes/no. I'd be happy because I'd have the things I want, but would I truly be happy? Materialistic people get nowhere in life, and your clothes can't love you like a person can. So I think I'd be happy with these things, but I wouldn't be truly happy until I found someone I loved. So again, yes and no.
[3] A tantrum to me is screaming, being snotty, threatening someone with hateful words or actions, being pouty & snooty until you get your way. And just being a bitch over stupid things that mean nothing.
I hope your story turns out well. Good luck!

Hello fellow writer =D
1. I think I'm in between spoiled and not spoiled. By this, I mean I have nice things and my parents take good care of me, but I don't get everything I want. For example, when I broke my iPod I had to pay for a new one. I just broke my camera, and I have to pay for a new one. (Yes I have issues with breaking things which is probably why I'm not really spoiled in the first place?) ;]
2. No. I know for a fact I (or anyone) would become a materialistic bitch. Not to sound too harsh though =]
3. Tantrums are when you just get so angry, you o full out insanely mad. I don't tink that made any sense, but it's just when somebody gets so mad, they yell, and cry, and throw things. It can get pretty intense actually. lol. I think they happen to everyone, too.
My idea for your story, hmmm, make the girl an advice columnist, but a really bitchy one. lol. I don't know. I have no ideas because I'm half asleep right now...
Good Luck!

well, it's hard to answer the first question about myself, but i'll use three of my friends as examples:
allie - she has everything she could want. more than she could want, actually. but she doesn't ask for it. her parents just buy her stuff all the time. her mom goes out shopping and comes back with bags and bags of clothes, jewelry, etc. if allie even mentions that she likes something, the next day she has two of them! but i don't think of her as spoiled. she literally never asks her parents for anything. even when they ask her what she wants for her bday or christmas, she just says she doesn't know. when she got a coach purse (which she didn't even ask for), she was kind of embarrassed to use it because she didn't want to seem like she was showing it off or something. she really appreciates what she has. so even though she has everything, i don't consider her spoiled.
amanda - she's a lot like allie, because her parents are rich and buy her everything she wants. and she doesn't really act like a brat or anything, but she is really careless with her stuff. like she's broken or lost her cell phone about 10 times and her parents just keep buying her a new one. she loses or breaks stuff all the time and she doesn't even care, because she knows she'll just get a new one. so even though she doesn't throw tantrums or anything, i do think she's spoiled in a way because she has no respect for what things cost.
emily - is a spoiled brat! and the funny thing is, her family doesn't even have much money. but somehow she always gets what she wants. she is constantly begging her parents for stuff. they usually start off by saying no, and then she throws a fit and whines and cries until she gets it. and she's that way with everything. if her parents say "no sleepover tonight", or "no dessert this time", or "no we're not stopping at starbucks"... she'll throw a tantrum, and they almost always give in. that is spoiled in my opinion: always getting your own way no matter what.
so yeah, i think there's different kinds of spoiled.
no, having everything you want doesn't make you happy!
tantrum: well, that could be throwing yourself on the ground and kicking and screaming... or it could be stomping your feet and pouting... or whining and crying and begging.

I don't think I'm that spoiled, especially compared to other people my age these days. I don't ask my parents for money often, and if I do and they give it to me, I spend it wisely. I don't go blowing the money they give me on a tank top at Hollister for $20. I can buy four for that price. I don't just expect my parents to give me money either. I usually babysit or do chores around the house for my money. I'm also on my own for college and a car. My parents aren't just going to give it to me. If I really wanted to go to a Catholic high school, I would have to help pay. I admit, sometimes I can act spoiled, but for the most part, I really don't think I am.
I wouldn't be happy if I had everything. What would there be to work for in life? I want to have to work to go on a nice vacation, so I feel like I actually earned it.
I would explain the word tantrum as what happens when a person doesn't get there way. They throw things, hit people, break things, etc. They stomp around and scream until they get there way.
Good luck with your story! :)

1. Do you think your spoiled and why? I think I am spoiled, but not in a bad way if that makes sense. My parents love to take care of me, but they don't show their love by just buying me clothes. I truly do love my parents and I am grateful to have them. My mom, especially, means the world to me. I am not spoiled and I am very picky about how I spend money. I will not go and buy an $80 pair of jeans at Abercrombie when I know that I can get the same pair for lets say $30. It all plays into how often you ask for things. I know that I would be spoiled if I got everything, and I don't want everything. I don't need materialistic things to make me happy. I have my family, my friends, and my dog (lol). I got my first job the instant I turned 14. I am very responsible for my age and have been mistaken for a 16 year old when I was 14.. lol. (height plays into that too. ;]) I pay for my own clothes half of the time and I do earn my money the old fashioned way, by babysitting. I don't even get paid for doing chores, and I'm not complaining.
2. Do you think if you got everything you wanted, you will be happy? Definitely not.
3. How would you explain the word TANTRUM? I think that my definition of tantrum would be when you go in a full blown out like, how to describe, a fit. And it usually happens when things don't go as planned or you don't get what you want. I think I've thrown literally one or two tantrums, I'm not a 'tantrum' type of person who makes a big deal out of things.

Hello.
1. I don't think I'm spoiled. My parents make me pay for things on my own. Heck- I have to pay for school clothes [even if its just one pair] all on my own. I have chores to do all the time. I don't get special privileges over my siblings. Sure- when I get to hang out with a friend- it may be until after midnight or later than what I said- but only because I don't lie to my parents and they trust me. I actually think that I have a great relationship with them. So I don't think I'm spoiled.
2. No. I wouldn't be happy. I don't think anyone could honestly say that they would be. Seriously- isn't it more fun to imagine things you want- rather than ACTUALLY have them? Haha- maybe I'm just weird.
Sure- I want to have a lot of things when I'm older [including a sufficient amount of money], but just having that stuff won't make me happy. What will make me happy is having friends and family that love and care for me. I want to have a wife that I can talk to- not just be there. I want to have kids that will grow up to be great people. Seeing my dreams come true will make me happy [one of those includes becoming a heart surgeon]. Material possessions won't ever do that.
3. Tantrum is when a person just gets so frustrated and angry with everything- they just can't help but scream and throw a fit. This mainly happens with younger kids- but sometimes I actually have tantrums.. I get angry sometimes- its sort of funny, actually.
I have an idea for your story- name a character Jack. =D
And when you get that book published- come back and tell us all! I will read it!

1. Well, sometimes. I dont have a job yet and I just turned 14. So technically, I could get a job, but I just haven't yet. Anyways, I ask my mom to buy me this or that and if she says no I'll ask a few more times... and sometimes complain if she doesn't. Then, if she decided to get it for me, I usually feel guilty after words.
2. Yes and no. I'd feel happy because the reason I constantly want things is to make me feel better then others and I wouldn't have to worry about the pressure to be "cool" and what not. However, I do feel that if I got everything I want, people would think of me as the spoiled girl who gets everything, so that wouldn't be that great anyways.
3. Tantrum? Er. yeah. Haha. I would say its what happens when my mom says no to something, even as simple as saying no to having a friend spend the night. I'll ask, then I'll ask why not, then I'll say please, offer to do things like clean the house and stuff, then if she still says no, I sit there and cry and say you never do anything for me. I dont do this all the time. Mostly if I'm having a bad day or something which is rare. So usually, if my mom says no to something, I might ask a few times and just leave it at that.
Hope I helped. =] Good luck with your story!
