[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, why do parents put their young children in these situations?  Are you not ashamed for gambling with their self-esteem just so you’d have a shot at increasing your own social capital?[/quote]

Kids are stronger than you give the credit for. They can handle a little rejection in life and it builds their self esteem to not be crushed by it. And you are ludicrous if you think all parents go through this crap for themselves.[/quote]

I agree learning to handle rejects an important skill, [b]but let's not pretend there aren't plenty of parents doing this for their own benefit as much or more than their kids.[/b][/quote]

I doubt it.  Having been through a few times, I tend to doubt it.[/quote]

It’s for the parents’ benefit more often than it is the kid’s benefit.  It’s a pretentious, and inhumane system kept afloat by people who don’t respect other children and have no problem instilling the same attitude in their own children at the earliest opportunity. [/quote]
