[quote=Anonymous]As kids gets softer, teachers seem meaner. I don't mean that teachers should be mean but what many kids today consider mean is over the top. With kids believe they should never experience any negative emotion, never be held responsible, be allowed to set their own expectations, and be treated as though they are special - the world around them seems mean. We see that on here - normal child behavior is called bullying, anything that is said that isn't inspiring is mean. if someone disagrees, they are mean. If they say anything that isn't nice, even if it is true it is mean and bullying. Not inviting every child to a birthday party is mean. etc..

The definition of mean has changed a great deal over time. In the past children were expected to be respectful and to see teachers as authority figures who were allowed to set expectations for them. That is now gone.

Adversity build resilience. Now adversity is a bad word, and resilience is vanishing. Kids are growing up to be a 'nation of wimps', with ever increasing mental health problems in early adulthood because they can't handle the pressure or expectations of life. They think the world around them is mean and unfair and they crumble. [/quote]
