Read the book *The Coddling of the American Mind*, and/or the article in The Atlantic by the same name. Kids who were treated that way seem to have higher suicide rates and more depression, more anxiety, and an unusually poor ability to deal with conflict (hence the craze for "safe spaces" and cancel culture that is sweeping HR departments and universities the world over).LoreleiOpine reply

SL: "Son, can you help me locate the aluminium foil?" M: "Sure, it's right up this way." walks her to aisle 7b M: "It's pretty high up, let me grab it for you. Do you want the Reynolds, or the store brand?" SL: "The name brand please." hands her a 200 foot roll M: "Do you need help finding anything else? I'm a walking directory of this store." SL: Hands me her shopping list I spent about ten minutes filling her cart with heavy/hard to reach items, and then I got back to my shopping with a smile and a "have a great day". As I'm standing in the checkout, I see the SL arguing with the floor manager (Greg, he goes to my church, we're pretty familiar with each other) over by the express line. I pay for my groceries, and walk over to be nosy, and maybe help out. SL is telling Greg that "The big guy with the red beard" helped her, "I didn't get his name" and she wants to see him get a bonus, promotion, or employee of the month, something. Greg is insistent that no one with that description works there. I get to the counter, and before I can explain that I don't even work there, Greg pipes up. G (to SL): "Oh, you mean Mark? Yeah, he's one of our best employees." G (to me): "Mark, this lady has been over here singing your praises for the past 5 minutes. I didn't even know you were working today." Me (Lying through my teeth): "Well, Sharon (a cashier I know) called me and said we were slammed, so I came in on my day off." G: "Well that's some real initiative, how would you like to be Assistant to the Regional Manager (we're both huge Office fans)?" M: "Oh my God, thank you! Are you sure?" G: "Well, you've definitely earned it." SL: "See, this is why I shop here instead of Walmart, even though you guys charge more. You care about your employees, and your employees care about your customers." So that is how I became assistant to the regional manager at a store I am not even employed by.
Hey Lgbtq+ Pandas What’s Something Something That Made You Feel Awkward About Your Sexuality?

Hey Pandas, What’s The Worst Advice A Teacher Has Ever Given You?
In fifth grade, I was bullied continuously for being the new kid-- as well as one who was very obviously being neglected and abused at home. When I came in from recess angry from being tormented the entire time, my teacher told me I "had a chip on my shoulder.". When I was 15, my father broke my nose. I was still being neglected: not allowed to bathe more than once a week, made to wear outgrown and out-of-style clothing (because it was cheap). I had two gorgeous shiners from the broken nose on top of all that as well as my increasing stony silence in class. Not a single "responsible adult" took me aside or tried to intervene. I will be furious about this for the rest of my life, not least because continual events like that made me unable to trust humans or maintain long-term relationships of any kind. But I guess I'm just "angry" and "bitter", right?Hey Pandas, What's A Really Small Thing That's Made A Really Big Difference In Your Life?
A shoutout sunday from thomas sanders. I was contemplating killing myself a couple weeks ago and later that day I went on tiktok and watched thomas sanders, I scrolled down through the tiktoks until I found a shoutout sunday for people named Willow (my name) I sat there in shock while it repeated 5 times and then I started to cry and it reminded me that I need to stay alive so I can hopefully meet this wonderful man someday (Thomas in general has been a huge part of my journey with suicidal thoughts (mainly me wanting to stay alive so i can say hi to him someday) and accepting my sexuality/gender and stuff, if you don't know who he is please check him out he is the most amazing pure person on this earth and i love him)Show All 13 Upvotes
