So what do you make of the idea that we've made such an effort getting kids to think they are special, that they took it to heart and now that they are grown, they expect that being special has it's perks? Any weight to that?
I think it rings very true... we also celebrate the most self centred and vapid in the media, and give young people the impression that being obnoxious makes you fascinating.
But, knocking down an artificial sense of self esteem is, well, abuse. lol. So is there a balance that can be struck?
