In the history of mandkind, never have so many been so proud of doing so little.

[sarasota]

It’s all about appearances. And now we have the master of empty suits about to reside in the White House.

great post! keep up the good work

And we wonder why Social Services is such judgemental asses over the parenting of our children.

And why these ninnies want to come into the workforce making $50k to $75k a year.

And why they go on stupid “Rate me” sites to garner self esteem.

And so on and so on...

She believes that decades of relentless, uncritical boosterism by parents and school systems may be producing a generation of kids with expectations that are out of sync with the challenges of the real world.

I think that this Christmas is going to teach some kids that they do not always get what they want. Parents are going to be forced to manage expectations of their kids.

Obama is proof that talent and accomplishment mean nothing. Ya just gotta believe.

You deserve a trophy for this post.

She believes that decades of relentless, uncritical boosterism by parents and school systems may be producing a generation of kids with expectations that are out of sync with the challenges of the real world.

Hence the increase in the number of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs being proscribed after they get a taste of the real world.

I constantly remind my children just how over confident kids are these days. I reinforce the message that hard work begets success, although not immediately and not without failures.

Good judgement comes from experience.

Experience comes from bad judgement.

Sounds like the next generation is even more full of shit than the "Millenials" are.

Self esteem is one of the seven deadly sins.

[Snickering Hound]

[Daveinyork]

Self esteem, as a false self confidence, a belief that everything will go right, can be devastating. True self esteem is the ability to face failure and adversity, without being morally crushed. True self esteem enables one to learn from failures and use that knowledge as a basis for success.

Which self esteem is it that the new generation is brimming with?

[anniegetyourgun]

Easy to see it coming, if we would just read.

But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. Mankind will be "lovers of self....disobedient to parents....ungrateful...."

[ssaftler]

Lots of self-esteem, but Xtremely dum az a box of rox.

U.S. Teens Brimming With bogus and unearned Self-Esteem

Reality is going to slap these brainwashed and delusional children upside the head HARD in later years.

[MediaMole]

In other words, we have a budding generation of sociopaths.

[all the best]

In other words, they are full of themselves. Arrogant. Self-righteous. Know-it-alls. Their own gods. And all at such an early age. Who says says the public schools are a mess?

[Ptarmigan]

Self-esteem is overrated. People with high self-esteem have no inecentive to change and they end up in a life of drugs. They will not handle failures well.

Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin are seen as successes, but for every successful invention, they had 10 failed inventions.
