    Dark, Kids are told by the media that they NEED things to be cool and worry when they don't have those things. People telling them that they are fine without them is what helps them break the brainwashing. As for the lack of it making stronger individuals... No I don't think so. That's really the opposite I think. Low self-esteem makes it very difficult for people to stand up for themselves, or think of themselves as worthy. Kids are not maturing more each decade either. They are being prematurely pushed into situations they don't have the experience to cope with more and more. "Un-athletic kids appear to not really care about their body, which is very important, and for those that work hard to keep fit, find it mockery." First of all I took the liberty of correcting your spelling. Second of all, not everyone cares about sports! You can be non-athletic and still be healthy and take care of your body. Sports are almost a religion or cult in America today and if you're not part of the fellowship it's thought that there's something wrong with you. If everyone was good at sports, professional athletes wouldn't be making the insane amounts of money they are, because the majority of the population would be too busy playing to dream of being that good.
