But they can't seem to help but think that I'm the screwed up one for not being allowed to watch Teletubbies or Spongebob. Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing an issue with this.
Apparently, my parents only limiting me and my older brother to intelligent kids' shows is bad parenting on their part. I mean, heaven forbid they not let me watch a Spanglish TV show when we live in the United States of America. Oh, and what horrendous parents they are for not letting me watch a TV show with skimpily dressed female superheros that were so incredibly stereotypical.
No, watching Zoboomafoo and the Kratt Brothers and Between the Lions was so torturous to me and my older brother. I mean, just look how we turned out, freaking brilliant with a significant love for books and creativity. Yes, very bad of you parents.
God, how screwed up my generation is.
...Let it be known I grew up watching shows like spongebob and such. I've become very intellegent, and I love reading and creativity more than anything. I hate to burst your bubble, but you seem very prideful, calling yourself so much better than your friends. Maybe it wasn't just the shows you watched as a kid.
You're really generalizing in that that sentence. Just because some people aren't on the same academic level as you, doesn't mean you need to condemn a whole generation.
