I watched as those friends became adults who struggled to cope with the disappointments in life, like getting a B as a final grade on a college course. They were buoyed on the idea that they were smart and could "do anything" but not really given an opportunity to handle failure other than keeping an "I can't fail" anxiety for everything in life.
