Once you reach adulthood, all the accolades stop and you start to wonder why people don't think you're so special anymore. Raising kids to believe they're special pretty much always messes kids up kids when they reach adulthood. Well that's my theory and I'm sticking to it!

You think that not saying something can change reality, and that these kids need to have these facts told to them or they morph into stupid ugly kids? I suggest that you get some testing because that's some low level thinking.. Perhaps it's because people haven't been telling you how smart you are.
