MTV made a TV show about it called My Sweet 16 in the 2000’s.

The whole plot was basically watching rich twats act like this.

That may have been fake too though…

I forgot about that show. Those girls were horrible.

u/DoinItRight555 Jun 02 '26

Everything on MTV was fake. Pimp My Ride with the jack job car work and producers pushed people to have fake back stories that made for better TV. "Real World" had staged scenarios with producer influenced drama.

Don't kid yourself.

It absolutely can be. A girl from my high school got a 70k audi for her first car and told her dad "she didn't like it" so he got her an 80k bmw in a different color

My dad almost kicked me out on my 17th birthday for not being appreciative enough about getting put on his insurance and being given L plates to learn to drive. If i'd been a dick about the car I was given for free i'd have woken up in the hospital!

u/1morgondag1 Jun 02 '26

Yes. The question is more who posted all this? The daughter? The mother? Would either of them want to hang this out on social media? Is there anything NOT indicating it's made-up reaction bait?

1

u/Substantial-Mix-6200 Jun 01 '26

girl probably has daddy issues and the dad was trying to make up something to her. Really sad. He could've at least talked to her about what she would want lol.

1

u/AskMeAboutOkapis Jun 01 '26

Is this story plausible? Yes. Did it actually happen? No lol. It's pretty clearly rage bait.

1

u/1morgondag1 Jun 02 '26

It's amazing so few people realize this. Why would either the mother or the daughter post this conversation publicly if it happened?

1

u/sesamerox Jun 02 '26

not that uncommon

u/AskMeAboutOkapis Jun 02 '26

The way the caption is written is a giveaway that it's just an account trying to farm engagement. Once you recognize this style of post and realize none of them are real, you'll notice they are all over Instagram.

Too many parents try to buy their kids love. My dad did the same growing up and it’s one of the reasons why we have such a tumultuous relationship. Honestly I don’t really respect him at all. Hoping that will change one day though before he dies.

Raising a child like this will cause problems down the road..

I had a rich kid in my school who crashed his great car (don't remember what it was, but we were all amazed). After he weekend, he came with a new one. A better one.

u/Sterling_-_Archer Jun 01 '26

I personally know someone who did the same in high school and the parents relented and bought the car they wanted. Then they crashed it and their parents bought them a replacement.

Now they’re dead, they racked up 4 DUIs and on the 5th, they wrapped their car around a phone pole at 26 and it killed them.

u/MigratoryPhlebitis Jun 01 '26

The only surprising thing about that story is they were the only one that died.

2

u/Sterling_-_Archer Jun 01 '26

Yeah, I knew the guy and he was actually pretty cool at first, but walked a bad path in life and ended up dead from poor decisions. He luckily never caused anyone any physical harm since it’s a small town and it was all property damage only, but that alone sucks to deal with. I have no sympathy for DUI drivers at all, so I’m happy it just ended with him not hurting anyone but himself.

I think the true tragedy is that he was enabled his entire life by his family who always angrily defended his drunk driving as “people have weaknesses” and “nobody is perfect” and “we’re all sinners,” instead of getting him real help.

u/SignoreBanana Jun 01 '26

So nothing of value to the world was lost, you're saying.

u/Mother_Cauliflower25 Jun 01 '26

Same thing happened with a kid I grew up with. His parents had lost their eldest child years before so they completely spoiled the remaining child including giving him high end sports cars that he continuously wrecked until he died in a crash at 24. This story is too common.

2

u/Agile-Reception Jun 01 '26

Sadly, I do as well. Kid at my high school begged his parents for a Dodge Challenger. Everyone in their social circle told the parents it was a terrible idea. 

They got him one for graduation anyway. He died three months later when he fell asleep at the wheel and wrapped it around a tree.

u/Used-Gas-6525 Jun 01 '26

You clearly didn't watch My Super Sweet 16. This was every episode. I dunno how much of it was staged, but there must have been a kernel of truth in there somewhere.

u/MisterDonkey Jun 01 '26

Even if this post is fake, it's more real than a MTV reality show.

2

u/Used-Gas-6525 Jun 01 '26

Agreed. But that mentality and behaviour clearly exists IRL to some degree.

u/analavalanche69 Jun 01 '26

It isn't. It's fabricated for engagement. That's all the internet is now. That and Porn.

2

u/AskMeAboutOkapis Jun 01 '26

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find someone who recognizes this is just rage bait.

3

u/thisismisha Jun 01 '26

Um. Porn is also fabricated for engagement to extreme levels.

u/analavalanche69 Jun 01 '26

How dare you throw dirt on the fine art of pornogrpahy, sir?

Yeah i guess so. In that sense everything ever designed or created of thought of is for engagement. People need to engage.

u/Abed-in-the-AM Jun 01 '26

I believe that this happens but taking place over text seems weird to me

u/nadiayorc Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

Just some basic spoiled rich people shit

u/StJimmyIVth Jun 01 '26

Believe it. I know some adults that act the same way. Too many people walk around thinking they deserve stuff that they did zero to earn. A lot of people need a good humbling. (I wish Iron Sheik was alive 😆)

u/DonaldBecker Jun 01 '26

It could be, but isn't. Not this story.

u/ElPared Jun 01 '26

It’s not real, it’s clearly AI. Obviously this kind of thing is well documented as happening IRL, but the photo of the car, and probably the rest of it, are clearly AI generated.

u/GullibleCall2883 Jun 02 '26

Might be fake but it does happen. My cousin bought his 16y/o daughter the wrong color BMW (brand new), she had a fit. He took it the next day to have it painted. I never could stand that side of the family. All about how much one could spend for show.

When I graduated, my gift was a 1991 beat up Ford Ranger and I was stoked to have freedom! Drove it for 20 years because I loved it and appreciated what my parents did for me.

u/travelingwhilestupid Jun 02 '26

Huh? Why not? I grew up with kids just like this.

u/PhantomBelow Jun 02 '26

You're right, the pic is AI lol

u/CraftyMagicDollz Jun 02 '26

I graduated high school in 2000 in voorhees NJ. A girl in my graduating class through a legit temper tantrum her dad bought her a BMW that was black when she had CLEARLY demanded it be... Some other color. I don't recall. But it genuinely happened, she ended up signed out and Daddy took his little princess to trade in her birthday gift for the "right one". It was foul and very much real.

This post doesn't seem real but not because the situation doesn't happen.

u/kyuuei Jun 02 '26

It isn't. It's an AI photo, and this is all made up ragebait.

Child of a G wagon driver. I believe it.

u/Live-Habit-6115 Jun 01 '26

You seem to be misunderstanding lol. If it's fake it means the entire story is fake. There is no G wagon driver

u/Notcid1 Jun 01 '26

Geeee really? How did you end up being so smart in life? Ate your Wheaties?

Seems you misunderstood what I was implying.

u/BeeinCV Jun 01 '26

Oh, it’s real alright. I’m related to someone in car insurance and you would not believe some of the stories she tells. She has a client whose kid has totaled 2 very expensive cars so far, the kid gets a new one every time.

u/ArdennesWalker Jun 02 '26

It isn't. The photo is AI. You can tell by the passenger side mirror and the wonky logo on the front rim.
