Notes to Overprotective Parents

-HARDSHIP BUILDS CHARACTER.
-GREAT ART CAN ONLY COME FROM GREAT PAIN.
-EVERY CHILD GETS MADE FUN OF.

A whole generation of children is being insulated to the point that when the shit inevitably hits the fan, they will be PARALYZED. They will consider the toilet backing up a major catastrophe of biblical proportions.

Now imagine them as adults.
Then imagine the effect they will have on THEIR kids.

Then be afraid, and maybe let little Jimmy play with some dangerous toys.

And stop calling your lawyer every time he comes home from school crying because he was called a butthead on the playground!


Bullying has caused suicides for DECADES.

My more draconian side considers this a mechanism of natural selection.
The kids with the personal motivation to succeed, even if success is only measured in a high school diploma, WILL succeed in spite of anyone else's criticism to the contrary.

Especially given that bullying is merely one of MANY factors leading to suicide.
God forbid we hold the PARENTS responsible for brushing their kids aside when they needed support.
