[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too anxious to drive? Sweet mother of jesus what are we becoming? Can you imagine any member of the greatest generation saying they were too nervous to drive. You are not helping your kids by indulging this nonsense. [/quote]

Totally agree that the kid needs to get the license.  But I would imagine that many people of the generation you mention had anxiety about many things.  They repressed it, became alcoholics, and croaked at an early age. [/quote]

Is there actually any science to support this assertion? C’mon. Kids today have everything done for them. They never have to step outside their comfort zone. Oh you don’t like your baseball coach? Okay you don’t have to play baseball. It’s too warm in your bedroom? Let’s get you your own air conditioner. Bobby made fun of you? I’ll call his mom and have you moved out of his class. Kids are anxious because we’ve allowed them to get that way by never having to confront anything uncomfortable or scary head on. [/quote]
