What is wrong with Us

As most informed people know, after WW2 there was a baby boom. All the soldiers were coming home and wanted to you know... with their wives and thus there was a spring in child production. That period somehow lasted until 1966 in the states an 67 in Canada. After the baby boomers, there was generation X which was basically where people stopped wanting to have tons of kids. That period lasted until 1980. After that there was a third demographic change, Generation Y. I'm what is called a Gen Y Echo because I was born in the Generation Y era (1980-1996) but my dad was a Boomer. Now my question is what the hell is wrong with "Gen Y"s. We are the trophy generation. That means two thing. One, for some reason our parents have put us up on a pedestal and are totally overprotective. The other is that there is no such thing as losing anymore. If you are a participant in house league sports than you know what I mean. No matter what happens you will always receive a trophy. Whether you win all your games or win none you'll always get a trophy saying that you are good.Also you can no longer receive and F in school because it "implies stupidity" and it makes kids "lose self esteem". What the hell is wrong with us. Our parents (no matter how geeky they may seem today) were tough. They would do things that were bad for them and somehow they survived. My dad has said on many occasions that he cant believe how people of his generation survived. He never wore a bike helmet, he climbed trees he was reckless and somehow he survived. If you can answer my question then your smarter then me because I just don't get why we let our parents coddle us like this.
