I work with these young people all day long at a university library. By and large they are all working part time, some of them full time, to put themselves through school. They work without complaint. They don't have an ounce of the entitlement mentality that so many older people want to foist upon them. They are eager to take on new challenges and to do new things. In short, they're a delight to work with and be around.

My intent was not to lump every child into this Generation.
There are wonderful kids out there that need all of our support.
With that being said....It seems we are teaching our kids, that if you didn't win.
Just take this trophy and pretend you did win.
The message should be...If you did not win. Work Harder !!!
I appreciate you pointing out it's not all kids. Also, the respectful disagreement.

I see older people using cell phones all the time. That picture is dumb.
Plus, it wasn't my generation that got the world into the mess it's in now. It was YOUR generation. So quit blaming us for the world's problems you bitter old man.

You really are not that "SPECIAL". I know Mom and your friends have told you that from birth.

Actually what they need to realize (and I think many do) is that they are (special) and important to their friends and family...the ones who love and care about them.
However...in the real world...there are going to be people who do not and will not ever care about them or think they are special; and there will be people who will try and deceive them; telling them they are special (lying to them) to use them; get something from them and/or to destroy them. They need to realize that in life there are truly evil people in society too.
They need to be on their guard and realize that society is made up of (the good, the bad, the ugly and the evil).
