Making It Count
Some teenagers have high hopes of receiving an expensive car on their birthday. After all, it can be a memorable time in people’s lives, and parents can end up spending thousands of dollars to make their kids’ dreams come true. However, not everyone wants to have a massive celebration for their day.
My Super Sweet Sixteen
An extreme example of this was exemplified in the MTV show My Super Sweet Sixteen. Affluent teenagers on the cusp of turning 16 would plan extravagant parties that included superstar performers and lavish party favors. Many times, they expected their parents to purchase luxury cars for them, even if that hadn’t passed their driver’s tests yet!
