[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are all these children so anxious? [/quote]

Because they can be whoever they want online/social media then reality smacks them in the face and they don’t know how to have a real interaction or relationship.

Plus 1000.  Kids are very cloistered nowadays.  At age 13-14 we were running the cash box at houses of worship selling spaghetti dinner tickets or having people pay us for 
pancake breakfasts.  It used to be common place for kids to be able to act in avariety of social situations with people of all ages.   I can see a 4 or 5 year old crying in a girl scout cookie
transaction but something is very off with a 15 year old not being able to buy girl scout cookies and remain composed.[/quote]

This is one of the reasons why I'm very pro-cookie booths for Girl Scouts.  It's one of the few times when a lot of these girls will interact with a stranger, possibly have to deal with a weird personality, make some uncomfortable small talk, and do other basic public interactions.  This thread has only validated my thoughts.

Having a hundred small socially awkward moments as a child probably helps insulate against a teen freaking out over being in an unknown social situation.[/quote]
