[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't get this. Really. It seems that nobody is willing to accept that most people are average- there have to be lots of average people in order for above average or superior performers to be distinguishable from everyone else. But yet we all expect our kids to be stars in their sports, activities, appearances -- all of it. No wonder we are raising an entire generation of depressed, anxious, stressed teens. Who they are just isn't enough for anyone. Some react with self harm, some push themselves to unreasonable limits, and some just spend a whole lot of time wondering who they "really are" because it's apparently supposed to be someone else. What are we doing here?[/quote] OP's layabout doesn't sound average, he sounds bottom quartile. What are the prospects for an unmotivated young man in the bottom quartile? Not good, especially if the parents aren't rich.[/quote] The bottom quartile of what? [/quote]
