Unrepentant

Okay rotten apples :)

Here's what I can share. I know many affluent teens who have had faith-based education who have had shoplifting "sprees" for a while and had no remorse. None. I find out a lot from my daughter. I sat a couple of girls down, asking if they wanted me to go to their parents. I said I would help them. They said no. So I said then I better not hear it's continuing. They were candid that they do it for the "rush" which actually became an addiction. Another high. And they get others to do it by daring them. Peer pressure. And they do it for the extra stuff they couldn't buy. They even re-sold the stolen goods, and their stupid parents (I mean come on, wake up) were proud at their entrepreneurship (young business leader of future daughter, proud Dad thought). Did it occur to him to ask where his daughter got the goods to sell and make a profit? And these are kids raised in GOOD, moral, strict families. It was this fad they were all into for a semester. And they dared each other.
My daughter confronted one and said she would tell the parents if the girl didn't stop and said it in front of the older sister who straightened her out fast. The stories I heard of the fun of getting beeped and almost caught and talking their way out of getting busted and having store personnel apologize made me furious.

One boy, WEALTHY, family gives huge donations to his faith based high school is Christian, got arrested for stealing. No remorse. Where is the message coming from? Not from their churches or schools or the parents who aren't hyper-vigilent. The kids are con artists who snow their proud parents with good grades, going to church and doing everything right (on the surface).
Thank you MTV and pop culture.
Those two girls in that interview are Paris Hilton clones. Lindsy Lohan clones. Oh and remorseless Naomi Campbell who beats maids. Or Winona Ryder who was bored and stole $5K.

If I were standing there at that interview, I would be hard pressed not to want to slap those girls' faces- which I have never done- (One says "whatever" - Good God). Their lack of social conscience is scary. This is our society. They have money - you can tell.. I hope they get arrested and serve community hours. But look what Naomi Campbell did after serving hers: she left the jail in an evening dress and parodied herself after. Pop Culture.

(You can bet there's a little teen contingent in that area, cheering them on for defying the establishment.)

Error in post above by me - the long one. Parents of kids I spoke of are hyper vigilant.

Making the statements they did on broadcast news is probably the best mistake they will ever make.

YOU SAID IT!! Let's hope they don't get the Paris Hilton treatment.
