We all have different levels of resilience. This site isn't for you.

  Hmm, maybe its something parents can take into account: prepare your kids for some inevitable failures. I could also be on the site btw, I was told during my first assessment interview that I might at some point be a decent supermarket stockboy, not now, but maybe over time.

    When I was in university one of our dorm mates went home at thanksgiving only to find his parents had moved with no forwarding address. He tracked them down and his parents basically said "you're 18 now, leave us alone". He was traumatized. I said "Why doesn't he just tell them to fuck off" and one of my other dorm mates said "Parents who raise their kids to have the guts to tell them to fuck off also don't fuck them over". That has stuck with me ever since. So, it's too late?
