[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And herein lies a large part of the reason there's a mental health crisis among teens these days.[/quote]

Oh please.  There is mental health crisis because resilience and fortitude have been lost in generations. Taking an AP class shouldn’t cause a mental breakdown, even if mom is disappointed you got a B [/quote]

plus, there is some research showing that kids focused on grades have fewer mental health issues. social media focus is far more toxic.[/quote]

I haven’t seen a single poster say there was anything wrong with the boy being focused on his grades. I think it was the implication (or a direct statement) that he couldn’t be successful in college or in life with a B in AP Chem, which is the toxic thinking. [/quote]

No one has said you can’t be successful in life or college with a B in AP chemistry.  Could it affect admission to a top college, maybe.  But literally no one said this is the only measure of success in life.  If not getting an A or not getting into a top 10 college is going to send you on a mental spiral, better to deal with your underlying mental illness now, rather than when real life problems come up [/quote]
