If there's one thing I really detest among those my age, its spoilt brats. Why? They get their way too easily. When the adults start being strict, all they have to do is to use the tactics they know will work things their way - crying, pouting, throwing a tantrum and such - and sooner or later, somebody will give in to their wants. And guess what? They won't hesitate to do it again, and again, and again......
I had a kid cousin who was that sort of child. Man, you should see how he screws up his face and cry, throwing cushions about and delibrately hurrting himself, just to get out to buy an ice-cream! And he's not even nine years old. Now, one of the only relatives he didn't dare to come close to easily is me. Hehe, that's because I never comply with him if it's unreasonable and I can help it. Now, I'm crossing my fingers that he'll grow out of it soon. Or maybe he won't at all......
As for how you'll see if the kids (or guys) down the road are spoilt by their parents or guardians, there's many signs, both obvious and subtle, to look out for. Primarily, he'll always want things to go his way, and he'll often resort to tactics that follow the same pattern to do so. A spoilt person is also very mule-headed - you'd be hard-pressed to convince him to do anything he does not want to, taht is, if you make any progress at all. They usually care only for themselves, and wouldn't give a damn if someone else got hurt in any way just so long as they got what they want.
So, its urgent for parents and guardians to recognise and stamp out the spoiltness as soon as possible in children, otherwise they suffer from it as long as they had the attitude. When you interact with such a person, its best if you tell them where your lines are, and hold firm your ground if they crossed it. In this, you might make the person agitated or upset, but its better than to just lie down and be walked over by him.
In short, be strict, or you'll be downtrodden by these spoilt people forever.
