Really? So you create a hyper-competitive environment where kids are constantly expected to perform and the image of perfection is demanded. In academics, athletics, work, and social life. From kids.
Then you wonder why they off themselves when something falls through? Really?
Maybe try not demanding so much from children and allow them to gradually learn how to handle failure?
Fuck these artificial treadmills being created all over America.

This is not something to be proud of. It's sad and depressing. High school is a time for kids to learn social skills, not advanced computer science concepts.
