Being around these students must be like being around the mentally unstable. You never know what will set them off so you are in a state of perpetual alertness. Never able to relax and enjoy things, just basically worrying nonstop over saying something that will trigger an emotional reaction.
Thinking along the lines of the spoiled baby-adult who’s smother-mother made sure he always got a participation trophy, never learned how to lose, face failure or take a personal stake in anything. A loser who’s mother never let him take responsibility for his mistakes, was never held accountable for anything, was always told he was special and entitled to everything he ever got.
Now, he experiences life as an adult; and has absolutely no clue, nor a single coping tool in dealing with the stresses of adult life. He believes “feeling” is the same as “thinking”; because he has never learned to think before. Mommy did his homework, and let him take credit for the work.
He has no clue as to what honor, hard work, integrity nor responsibility even mean. And this kind of loser is all too common; and becoming the standard.
Adulting must be new speak for GROWING UP
