Quite the opposite in my opinion.
Kids today have it so hard. Society as a whole has ratcheted up the baseline expectations of kids coming out of school to an almost unachievable level. I continue to be blown away by the resumes that come across my desk. Fantastic GPAs, numerous committees, countless volunteer activities, highly competitive in sports and activities, etc. It feels impossible for kids to get ahead.
And then there are sports. Kids specialize from such a young age that they've almost missed the boat by the time they're old enough to even know what sports they're interested in. Gone are the days of gifted athletes having balanced lives. If you're not training full time after school in lieu of a social life you don't stand a chance.
I feel bad for kids these days.
