Congratulations Will and Jada Smith...

I thought it was pretty heartbreaking when she said that after going to a regular school for a year, she knew why most kids were depressed.

They're teenagers. I can only imagine the idiocy I would have rambled on about at their age given a platform.

yep...they just have a bigger audience and more money
but their parents should have enough sense to tell them not do interviews...

JADEN: You never learn anything in school. Think about how many car accidents happen every day. Driver’s ed? What’s up? I still haven’t been to driver’s ed because if everybody I know has been in an accident, I can’t see how driver’s ed is really helping them out.

Because someone else doesn't take away the correct lessons from an experience means you should avoid the experience yourself. Brilliant.

^last line is mine, not Jaden's.

Wrong. They don't just put out 'work'. They also did this interview, and showed their personalities. We get to comment.

It is pretty bad, but it could be much worse that trying to be intellectuals.

Um, yeeeaaaahhhhh. You have no idea why she said that. I'm pretty sure it was because they weren't treated like prince and princess like at home or they actually had to learn how to adhere to a schedule and somebody else's agenda. Not everyone can roam the world with unlimited funds. I'm sure it'd be a depressing change for them, but not because there's anything wrong with school.

I get what you're saying. Still I think it's one thing to criticize their words and another thing to label them "insufferable". That just seems mean-spirited. And a quick google search could result in them seeing some of the things posted here. What would they gain?

I'm saying this because my instinct might initially be to mock them too, but I've realized it's just not right or fair or productive.

Oh it's certainly not productive, but who cares about right of fair? They're loudmouth celebrities, and we're anonymous commenters on the internet. This is how it goes these days.

Also, haven't seen anyone in this thread be racist or vile or wish violence against them. People are just saying that they're obnoxious and pathetic, and you can't argue against that!

You wouldn't say it to any kid you know (at least I hope not), so why do you feel this is okay? Kids say silly things. This is nothing new. These kids happen to be in the spotlight, but I don't think that gives anyone license to be cruel. I don't think we should do it to adult celebrities either, but at least they're adults. These are children.
