They want people to know all about their lives and they're really saying HA I have this and you don't!Usually the ones that brag are the ones not telling the truth.
Kids and people in general brag based on internal securities so they need validation for the things they have and do. Also bragging is a way to get a little bit of attention that many people search for and feel like they need from other people. There's nothing wrong with tooting your horn every now and then but bragging is not a good trait.
