He cried. He literally cried that I told him he screwed up. A freaking "young adult" crying because he was told he didn't do something correctly.

We're seeing this ever day. Either in person or on TV.
Greg Gutfield put it best; we're living in such a great era in our Country that young people don't understand what it is to struggle or suffer if you are in a middle or upper class environment. The result is, young people don't have an appreciation for hard work and accomplishment or what it's like to fail. It's all about "me" and instant gratification. Not patience and understanding that life doesn't always go your way.
