This is what happens when everybody wins, everybody gets a trophy, and nobody loses. You have children who have been raised outside the framework of this thing that they’ll have to deal with when they graduate college. That thing is called “reality”. And due to parenta and teachers alike, these kids will find reality tough sledding. The best thing you can do for this generation is be butally honest with them about life and reality. And when they whine and complain, give them a big hug, smile and say “suck it up, buttercup”.

I agree with that and was about to write virtually the same thing. Unfortunately today when they get out of school, they immediately believe the government will be there to tuck them in each night. They all need a good dose of my dad’s favorite comment: “toughen up”.
