come face to face with the reality that they aren`t special and that their whole life and everything they believed and been told about being special
was a lie, they can`t deal with it mentally.They go nuts and become violent,antisocial,rude,obnoxious etc etc.They try to tear down everyone and
everything around them that they percieve to be better than they are so that they might finally actually be as special and wonderful as they have
always been told that they were.IMO.

It's not just random people telling them that they are special without any proper justification. It's the advertising and PR industry which tells
people this. And they told the same thing to the current generation's parent too.
It isn't parents spoiling their children, it isn't the 'nanny state', it's the frigging industry profiteers who lie and misrepresent everything
about the reality of existence. Yet this dude making the speech seems to have no idea about that, and the education system itself seem entirely
unaware that has been infiltrated and compromised by the demands of industry and mass-media advertising
Every time someone like Christina Aguilera sings:
'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do
No matter what we do
(No matter what we say)
No matter what we say
then every vulnerable, impressionable person's brain goes into a piece of reality defying mental gymnastics. It has nothing to do with helping
people, and everything to do with confusing them and making money from them.
If many people have an unrealistic sense of entitlement, then blame the industry which is 100% dedicated to selling unreality for a profit. Don't
blame parents or teachers for caring about their children and trying to make life better for them - do blame them for not realising they are being
subverted by a system which indoctrinates people into believing material objects, money and endless competitiveness is the ineffable metric of
'success''.
