IridescentTranquility What a frightening programme! This type of programme has got to signal the death throes of reality television (please, broadcasters, take the hint). One girl even gets her braces taken off her teeth for the occasion.The phrase "more money than sense" leaps to mind - maybe it's more a case of "how the other half lives". Watching the TV over my sister's shoulder, I am seeing a teenage girl go into an "I'm going to look stupid in front of all my friends" mood just because the entertainment is cancelled. Because, in essence, this is what it's about - looking good in front of friends and outdoing them. I overhear one girl tell the camera "This is what Priscilla's party is going to be like. Mine will be better" - another is obsessed with making a good impression in front of her friends - why can't she just enjoy her birthday party? Gratitude to the parents for organisation and the funds for such overindulgence doesn't get a look in.These silly kids, as someone else said, then throw tantrums at the slightest problem, so clearly they are not mature enough to handle such setbacks and probably haven't done enough in their lives to justify having such expense and attention being showered on them. This people truly must have more money than sense - when I was sixteen, my main occupation was keeping on top of my school work in preparation for my GCSEs, but these kids must be extremely lucky. School work doesn't even get a mention - obviously these people are wealthy enough that they don't have to care. (It wouldn't occur to them, for instance, that somewhere in the world, there are people living in the worst poverty imaginable, who would give anything for a fraction of the wealth spent on them. It wouldn't occur to them that there are 16 year olds waiting on tables or stacking supermarket shelves to make themselves a bit of spending money because their families are on the breadline. It wouldn't occur to them that there are people like me, trying to establish their own businesses, who go to local craft fairs selling home-made lavender bags and greetings cards who can come home with as little as £7.50 in earnings on a bad day. They live in another world entirely.) I don't know whether the parents of these girls are being walked all over in their children's quest to hire rappers and MCs and goodness knows what else as entertainment for what is basically a birthday party, whether they are knowingly overindulging their spoilt offspring or whether it is just that they are so rich that the expense of this kind of event is a drop in the ocean. Either way, it is scary beyond belief.

Barry This show is quite possibly the pits of hell for me. It follows spoilt, filthy rich, snobby and bratty 15 year old kids plan and execute their 'sweet 16' birthday party.Im physically sickened by the way some of these kids treat their parents. They have no respect, no manners and are genuinely awful people, they symbolise everything that is wrong with the world. Clearly the parents need to beat the crap out of these kids to knock some sense into them, i would if they were mine.It is awful programming, for the simple minded. People who enjoy this show must not have an education and they have to be the dumbest, thickest people on the planet. MTV today has brought some crap onto our screens like 'laguna beach,' 'the hills' and many others, but i think this is the icing on the cake...

lizzy_a22 Hey yeah, this is for Tina...I read your comment, with some degree of sadness. I'm sad for how delusional you and the others who make similar comments about these people are. Hate to break it to ya, but we're not jealous. Do you really think we are jealous of people who are spoiled and bitch out their parents, are obsessed with material things and are in for a very RUDE awakening when they hit the real world? Don't think so. Would I turn down a chance to win the lottery and upgrade my digs? Heck no. But if it meant turning into one of these shallow brats, heck ya. But for now, I'll take being dead broke and happy, if means my ego is in check.You and your materialistic MTV friends need to get out of fantasy land.

TiNA3 I think it's really mean for people to say all this junk about these people! I mean dudes they're excited. And like happy about their parties A lot of these people are not even like that!BUT I THINK THEY COULD SHOW THEIR PARENTS MORE RESPECT !!!Anywho i think being rich is Juicy"ha ha". I think people are really just jealous of these people because they could never do anything like these people do. I think everyone should just get a life get over it you're not rich THEY ARE. Your not hot & spoiled THEY ARE. The show just really show's how rich they are and just basically I mean just stop hating and GET ON THEIR LEVEL.
