О воспитании детей
Зашел почитать комментарии читателей на Yahoo к заметке о вчерашнeй стрельбе в UCLA (религия мира, как обычно) -- UCLA Professor Killed in Murder-Suicide on Campus.
Дальше верхнего на данный момент комментария я читать поленился, а верхний комментарий копирую сюда.

У сына на соревнованиях по плаванью эти ribbons давали за места с первого по шестнадцатое обычно. Правильно делали, по-моему.Parents, listen very closely. Kids NEED to be told from a very young age when they fail at something. Every time they screw up let then know that they failed. When they get 9th place in a race out of 9 they don't get a trophy or a ribbon or an ice cream sundae to make then feel better. They NEED to know that in life there are going to be more times you fail at something then succeed. It's part of growing up. I'm not saying to NOT encourage them when they are down and out but they need to know that failure at something I'd going to happen. It doesn't mean they are a failure. It means they need to try harder. To take responsibility for their actions and shows them that rewards don't come easy. Kids are growing up today and simply aren't ready to hear the word "NO" FROM ANYONE! They go 18+ years without hearing that word and the first time they hear it, it doesn't compute. They don't think it applies to them. Then when they realize someone is trying to enforce a rule, they simply don't know how to respond with any emotion other than rage. Nobody likes to be told NO, but it's part of life. They need to understand this at an early age.
