<p>^ JHS did not attack the op but made a realistic evaluation about OP based on his comments. He does not vent any anger but offers a reality check to a generation of kids raised in a school environment where they were not supposed to keep score on who wins the game, every child is promoted even if he is unable to write basic sentences, and are given the false impression that life is full of wins as every participant, in any activity gets an honorable mention award. Well, it is better to get a cold shower now, while they are still in mom and dad’s cocoon and face reality than crash and burn when they will be alone in college/professional job.</p>
<p>There was actually an article in the wsj about the difficulty employers have with all these entitled kids of nowadays that get really upset if someone critique’s their work. They believe they are smarter than anyone, can do no wrong, and are entitled to time out, vacation, constant raises, and perks, just of who they are. Well, life sucks, so they need to grow up.</p>
<p>Found the article about the “trophy kids”:</p>

<p>"This generation was treated so delicately that many schoolteachers stopped grading papers and tests in harsh-looking red ink. Some managers have seen millennials break down in tears after a negative performance review and even quit their jobs. “They like the constant positive reinforcement, but don’t always take suggestions for improvement well,”</p>
<p>I guess there was a good reason that younger employees were the first to hit the door when the economy nosedived.</p>
