I suspect you haven't met many of these type of people. They spend a couple of years doing that, get bored and get on with enhancing their lives. The biggest stoner/gamer I knew is now an extremely well paid city guy. I lived in a dead town and the extended 100 or so people from my age group that I knew in my teens and twenties, a large amount of whom spent a lot of time gaming/smoking, now occupy a huge variety of positions in society across the country (and some the world) in their 30s. I can actually only think of one person who's still a bit of a waster. Most people actually want to have a good life and you and the parent are simply snobs who don't know the sort of people you so condescendingly talk about.
