Schools and parents are spoiling their kids.
They are doing this by helping the child avoid disappointment.
And yet, disappointment is a part of everyone’s life.
At an exclusive girls high school, one of the students did not get elected to the student government.
So, she persuaded her mother to come to the school and defend her desire to be a member of the student body.
The school created an additional position on the governmental body and awarded it to the complainer.
So, how and when is that young lady going to learn how to cope with disappointment in the future?
The real tragedy of these modern times is the fact that more young people are committing suicide when things don’t go their way.
The “school of hard knocks” is still the best teacher.
Life is a series of ups and downs.
We all must learn how to handle both.
If not today, when?
