What do you say to a spoiled 18-year-old girl...

who's always going on and on about the most miniscule of problems, and believes she has the slighest idea of what suffering is?

I mean this girl is really smart, 1600 SAT's, going to Stanford, etc..but common sense is not something she possesses, and she's ALWAYS yammering about her "problems" and complaining that her parents are always on her case, despite the fact that they're going to pay $35,000 next year for her to go to Stanford?

How do you go about bringing things into perspective for her..
 
Bring her to my house so she can take care of a disabled kid for 24hrs.. Will change her hole perspective on life..
 
Something like working at a homeless shelter would put her in her place. Suddenly not being able to find those Prada shoes in the right size doesn't really seem that significant............

As a senior project in HS for my Psych. class, I volunteered at a clinic for mentally disabled people. Any time I think my life is hard I think back to those days and I shut my trap.
 
nothing you can say will change her mind. only extended contact w/ the "outside world" will change her perspective
 
Have her sent to Mexico to work at an orphanage for a few weeks. Not only will it put things in perspective for her, she'll probly enjoy it and end up staying!
 
Somethings are needed to be realised by a person themselves. Sounds like they've pretty much had it on a plate virtually all there life, so its going to be hard for them to see how "insignificant" not having a new pair of shoe's will seem.
 
Sounds like she needs to be b!tchslapped with a clue stick.

Although, it's entirely possible her parents have fed this type of behavior for years.

SUCK ME BEAUTIFUL!!! 😀

Seriously though....Yeah I have encountered several girls like this, really bright and getting excellent scores but when you interact with them socialling their total lack of common sense makes you think they have a cabbage inside their heads...

Shout "SHUTTUP!" loudly through a megaphone when she is mid sentance....worked for me....LOL

This is good too...🙂
 
Wow, still no 'pics?' or 'Wanna f*ck?' remarks?

Anyway, trying to get her to do some volunteers stuff at a hospital or so (claim it will help her CV) may do the trick, depending on whether she is hopeless or not.
 
i knew a girl like that, just told her straight to her face that she doesn't have the slightest clue what hardship. didn't really change anything, but made me fell better
 
Nothing.

Just smile sadly with the realization that life has its own way of educating people like this. You don't get the instant gratification, but you'll be out there living a happy life while she's miserable because the curtains don't match the carpet.
 
My Wife's SIster's Husband's Daughter from a previous marriage is the exact same way. However she spent some time abroad (One place in South America and one in Europe). She came back after both and has really changed. It was part of her college schooling I think but it did wonders.
 
If she got a 1600 on the SAT, she's good at analogies.

Give this one a run:
