This society sets our children up for failure when we tell them all through çhildhood that all of them are winners, all the time. Then, when they grow up and are not winners all the time, they become depressed and suicidal. Throw in social media and building a fake persona and we have an ugly mix that will end with more suicides.

Hi, joma89-!

Don’t forget they developed and intense anger at anyone who doesn’t let them ‘win’ at every game or get an ‘excellent’ at every task they do.

My youngest would accuse me of cheating when he would lose at a simple game of chess or a game of checkers.

Turns out an adult who he also played with would let him win every single game; no matter the game, he always won. The adult was concerned about his opinion of himself!

I read that person the Riot Act.

The stupidity of that adult was simply mind blowing.
