IMO, even for those young people who do not have verifiable mental illness, the “entitlement mentality” encouraged by parents, and applauded by our society as well as marketing professionals around the globe, is a recipe for disaster.

We’ve seen this with some of our kids friends who are in their 20’s, and when life doesn’t work out for them as planned and promised, they fall apart. A few have become suicidal, others just give up, and the stories go on and on.

The misconception that EVERYONE is entitled–for no particular reason or reasons–to everything they want in life–is leading many down a path that will not end well.
