Evaluate your score on the "Grinch Scale" from 20 to 100.
20-30: You are just a cheeseball.
30-50: You are an apprentice in Yuletide larceny and are probably wanted by the police for overdue parking tickets.
50-100: Grinch, move over. The Meyer Lansky of Christmas crime has arrived.

Observations on present Teenagers
My observation of teenagers. These are my personal opinions and observations. They are not meant to offend. I post this here for you and I to reflect if these are really true and do something about it. I believe what our teenagers have become if these observations are true is partly because of the generation older than they are and the ones that raised them.
1. Very short attention span...3 to 5 minutes
2. They have a pick and choose attitude toward life
3. They think that happiness and success are a right (their right)
4. They easily blames others when they fail or are unhappy.
5. They think most of the time they are the center of the universe.
6. They think they need expensive prom dresses that may cost $500 the least, or thats about 20,000 pesos.
7. Latest technological toys and gadgets are basis of their self esteem.
8. They think that Bikinis and the thong underwear are acceptable without question for preteens.
9. They know about good and bad touch, but are loose in terms of how sex is presented as recreation in the internet.
10. They think that divorce is ok and break a family because one parent is not happy at all.
11. Think they deserve a trip to the carribean or Europe because their parents love them and/or that they are unhappy.
12. They think that divorce is an acceptable as a social trend.
13. They think that if they get married they got to have a grand wedding like that of their famous actors and actresses or royalty.
14. They are raised in broken homes.
15. They are egomaniacs with very poor self esteem.
16. They are always looking for the newest and most improved products.
17. They go to clubs for casual sex.
18. They go to the internet to look for meaningful relationships, which has nothing to do with marriage.
19. They are the impatient. They want to have things they need and want served to them right away.
20. They easily are bored.
