An "ungrateful" teen from the United States is copping backlash on social media over a message exchanged with her mother on her birthday.
The Mirror reported 17-year-old Jenna Flugeman, from Cincinnati, Ohio, received a text message from her mother saying she had arranged for a special Snapchat filterto be set up around the teen's high school.
The filter, which anyone at the location can use, puts a stamp at the bottom of pictures reading: "Jenna's 17th Birthday. 03.30.17".
But the teen was mortified when she received the message, asking her mother: "Why would you do that?"
Her mother asked if she was mad, but then got frustrated.
"Sheesh, thought you would like it. I guess I just can't do anything right. Whatever," she replied.
The exchange has sparked a storm on social media as users grill the teen over her "ungrateful" response, with one user saying she should feel ashamed.

The teen then sent another tweet defending herself, writing: "For anyone who's wondering I obviously thanked my mom for it and it was very thoughtful but I didn't want that attention from my whole school. People will talk about it either way, If I wanted the Snapchat filter I was full of myself if I didn't want it I was ungrateful. You can't please everyone."
