Please tell me this is a joke.....surely nobody is that weak.

Schools are suppose to prepare children to become adults (which was true in my days back in the 1950s). Today’s education system is designed to keep children children.

Instead of competition where there is a winner and loser in today’s world everyone wins a “participation” award.

They did away with all those things that built character that allowed a child to try and fail (and maybe get hurt). Even words they think are “harmful” are banned.

Now these children are in the real world and do not have the tools to survive. I pity them.

Couldn’t agree more.......when monkey bars were deemed “too dangerous” I knew kids were on the road to turn out as wimps.

Playing sports and especially learning how to lose taught me life lessons that I have carried with me my whole life.

Understanding that failure is part of life and its all about how to handle that failure is a reality that a lot of kids are just too weak to deal with nowadays and the kid in this video is a perfect example.
