That's irritating to hear kids that are " set for life" take things for granted, even sometimes their life. They have never been around the other end or the middle, it's easy to blame it on the parents. You had or have a choice to walk away from that if you think that would make you a better person or less a slave from the giver; I have been around people of what I am describing, I respect each back ground and their decisions, but the one with less had no option whatsoever, but to work hard to live and battle the odds which sometimes doesn't come out positive. One is not born with SELF ESTEEM, you get that along the way and there are many ways you can obtain it. It's nice that your parents gave you an option if "choice", some of us don't. So cherish it or give it up .
