Well at this point in our lives most kids are not mature enough to have the drive to want to do something that productive with their lives. Kids are more into just hanging out after school and not wanted to do their homework and just going to do what they wasn't to do which is what they would consider fun. Kids in this day and age want to live the dream that they would see on the TV. Kids think things that arnt realistic. They want to have a perfect life with everything that they want and not have to do any hard work for it. When that isn't reality. Kids need to learn that things don't just come from not doing anything to earn it. Some parents are just doing that for their kids now so they learn to think that's how it always will be when that isn't the case in the real world once they move out. They will be in for a rude awakening. Kids need to be taught that things need to be worked for and earned for not just given to them.
