content: The universities are not correcting the problem of these people behaving like children like they used to (big shock! you are -almost- alone in this world! Figure it out dumb-ass). The problem started long before they reached the university in the first place. This is just where they were "given a voice" for some stupid reaso  451e  n.  You know where this starts? It starts when you cannot feel shame because your team lost a game (any game). It starts when you cannot feel shame because your grades on an assignment or test are not allowed to be read out loud in front of your peers. Why try to get better at anything when no one shames you for being bad at it?  Stop the infantilization of America. Start young. If you have a kid and they get a ribbon, metal or trophy for LOOSING. Take it, Break it, burn it or otherwise destroy it. Make them understand that you should not get a reward for failure.  Before long they will want to work harder and achieve more than their peers. They will surpass them because they will not be content with failure.  They will grow up to be strong, successful people who despise these adult children and push them out of their lives.  If you are already an adult and dealing with these old children.. Call them on their shit. Be direct, blunt and without sympathy. Make them accountable for their actions and their behavior. "What you are doing is childish and unacceptable".
