You can't just expect some cheese-eating high schooler to be thrown into a situation like that and suddenly become a man. I doubt you would handle it any better. I know I wouldn't.
I wish I had a Brian Burke in my life at 20 to tell me what I was doing wrong, probably save me a lot of hardship.

These kids have it good, it's up to them to take this constructive criticism and get better from it, not cry and hide.
