[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP...no one is minimizing the pain. All the PP was noting is that every generation has its challenges and somehow, we as a people manage to come through it.[/quote] She said "grow up" That's demeaning and minimizing.[/quote] Because I would hope the adults in this situation would contextualize it for their child. Not, like a teenager, only see how it is impacting their little corner of the world (ie.GPA and college admission). [/quote] Your response seems seems like common sense unless you are talking to a clinically depressed teenager. Any time I have tried that approach it has backfired. I don’t suffer from depression so it took a while to realize that I needed to change my approach. I was very much brought up in the “suck it up, buttercup,” school of parenting. It just doesn’t work for all kids and in some cases makes it worse.[/quote]
