[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]A lot of kids are getting to college only to be completely exhausted. They have been pushed so hard from an early age to excel[/b]. College (or their first "real job") is built up to the point that it is supposed to be everything. These kids go to college (or into the workplace) and are underwhelmed. Is this all there is? I worked so hard all those years for this? everyone always told me this would be the best thing ever. I feel betrayed, and disappointed that I fell for all that growing up. It's a sham. That is what they are thinking. [/quote] Such nonsense. Only a very, very tiny subset of American teens are pushed like this by overbearing parents. And even then, it's not even those overachieving kids who are crashing and burning and failing to launch! Those failing to launch are the normal American kids, largely boys, who had a normal and comfortable upbringing.[/quote]
