I wish they would start teaching this concept in schools. Maybe not be as blunt about it as you have but at least give them a realistic expection of what life will be like as an adult.

I feel like a lot of parents and schools are deluding their children into thinking life is going to be easy and that little effort is required to be successful. And if success doesn't come easily and immediately well that's just not fair and other people should be expected to fix it for them. I've seen it with some in my generation (I'm 37) and a little moreso with each younger generation. 

I had to work full time through college and everything I have now is a product of hard work, seemingly endless menial tasks, things I do to reduce my cost of living (like fixing things myself), etc. Sure I complain just as much as anyone but I don't think anyone owes me anything (not unless I've lent them something lol).

I could go on and on about this but I'll stop right here. Thanks for posting as I think a lot of people need to hear this and not many are blunt and brutally honest enough to say it.
