[quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread. I agree with the reasons cited in some many of the comments. Here"s another: I don't think people are raised to be as emotionally resilient as the once were. The overprotective, helicopter parenting of the past few decades has led to young adults who lack the skills to overcome challenges, and they are often fragile because even small setbacks threaten their self-esteem. I work with college students and see this a lot. If you've been brought up believing that you must get all As and excel at everything, and if you've come to expect this, you won't know how to handle the stress of competition and fear of even minor failure. Hence, overwhelming anxiety. We need to do a better job inoculating our kids from stress.[/quote]
