Why do you think the rates of teen depression and suicide are out of control now?

Everyone is a winner, means you don't have to deal with anything cuz you are a special snowflake.

@curiosi: Everyone is a winner, until real life shows up and they actually lose and have no idea what to do.

I definitely agree with you about bullying.
Bullies have always existed and now they have these programs where they want kids to report bullies. The problem is that statistically bullies are never going to change, so treating them is fruitless.
They should be concentrating their efforts on teaching victims ways to cope!

Perfectly summarized

Simple, yet well put! 👍

More lefties mean bigger voting pool.

@curiosi: I must get my hands on just a few of these magic money trees democrats say they have and their voters believe exist....

@theoneyouwerewarnedabout: You don't have to do that. I'll tell you exactly where the money trees are. In overseas bank accounts of the ultra wealthy who dodge taxes. And the company owners which produce massive amounts of passive income on the backs of workers, by doing nothing but having money in the first place.

If that's not a fuckin' money tree, I don't know what is.

Impossible expectations such as what?

I like this answer and I agree with a lot that you have to say. There is now so much pressure on kids that didn't exist when I was younger. I see it with my own teen daughters.
When I was young, porn was not easily accessible to the boys. They might have been lucky if they stole a porn mag or two from their dad, but that is about it. Now at the click of a button, all of these young kids can see whatever their heart desires.
It's not right that these kids are growing up far before their time. There is so much pressure for them to be like how all of these things on the Internet and social media, etc. portray. It is just too much for them to handle! 😕

@Tminus6453: I don't need my eyeballs scratched out of my head 😜

That is so very true. Also our junk food diet is not doing anyone any favors!

Actually it is.
