EVERYBODY GETS A PRIZE

In my day, when we played games only one person was the winner.  And they got the trophy or the prize.  Everyone else got to learn the valuable lesson that Everybody can't always be the winner.  And that there was nothing wrong with that.  we learned that not winning didn't make us any less of a person and it was OK to loose as long as you did your best.
So how did we go from that, to kids shooting up their high schools because they couldn't get a date?
Well it might be because children who never have to experience any kind of loss, embarrassment, or disappointment in life grow into young adults who just don't know how to handle any of the above situations. 
A lot of young people today seem to be put off by the concept of  having to "work" for what you get in life. But why wouldn't they just expect to be handed everything.  I mean after all, they were there right? So what if the other guy worked his ass off for what he/she has.  Shouldn't they just be given that as well?  They always got a trophy before for just being there regardless of weather or not they worked for it.
I understand that everyone wants the best for their children and there's nothing wrong with that. But parents need to start teaching their kids that you don't automatically get what everyone else gets. Not without working for it anyway. 
Because in real life, everybody is not the winner.  You don't get a trophy "just for being there" and as far as everyone else is concerned, you're not really as special as your mother told you you were. 
The bottom line here is this:
People need to get back to raising  their children with good morals and work ethics. Because to send your child out into the world to get slapped in the face by reality really isn't fair to them or anyone else who has to deal with their "I'm here where's my trophy" mentality.
