Free Ride

Today I am going to publish my first post that may offend people, but I hope that is doesn't. I was so angry today when I read my sisters post.People nowadays want to get something for nothing and I am tired of it. I am tired of good people in this world trying to better themselves while lazy people get by with a free pass. Just like in my sisters class those students probably did not study half the time she did, but I bet he will curve the test so that half the class does not fail. Another misconception in today's society that bugs me is that teenagers that have babies can't amount to anything, wrong!!! Get off your... and finish school. I am tired a of the excuses. My son was born when I was fifteen. Of course I was not ready, but you have to grow up and make a future. Today I am a nurse, so there is you proof that it can be done. Next, I want to dig into Welfare. Welfare is at a all time high, and it does not look to get any better. When I worked at Baptist women would come in having there sixth baby and be on public assistance.Didn't they see what was causing this! Not all of them were bad. It was the ones that demanded we provide them with a car seat and then say never mind when we brought one they did not like.Or they would treat us like we were there to serve them food and beverages to there friends and family at all hours of the night. I feel like society has given such a crutch to so many things that people nowadays do not want to put their big girl/boy pants on and do what they have to make it. Because of these free loaders and abuser of the system good people that are down on their luck that could use a little assistance and would use it wisely to better their lives cannot get the aide that they deserve. My message for all the people out there that think they deserve something for nothing for some reason get up and get it yourself! Self pity never got anyone very far.
