I think it says a lot about the way he's being raised. When I was a teen, I WAS expected to shovel the walks of elderly or ill neighbours when I was out doing ours...and I'm a girl. There's nothing wrong with feeling a little obligated to be helpful. Personally, I wouldn't expect it all the time, but the offer would be appreciated.
i completely agree but problem I've experience at being helpful towards other people is that some people take it for granted , I'm not saying you are but I've come across people you expect this sort behaviour from young people and not even say thank you. my point is there no harm in helping other people as long as the other person is grateful for the help. As with anything in life we many different types of people not everyone is the same.
Secondly have you heard term generation gap?, that explain why you were expected and he not.now a days parents are too busy raise kids so they taught this type of behaviour i was lucky enough taught this but as i got older i realise people will walk over you if you help them too much.
i want make it clear i agree with you barbs he should offered to help but since kid can't defend himself i thought i gave opposing argument as to why he may not helped.
now MR.Casper -i telling you something mrs bala is going really be in for treat
