Teach Them Young

What follows are two reasons why we are fucked as a society.

9-year-old boy told he's too good to pitch


Eight year old guitar player told to stop playing


As you can see, these two stories came out within a week of eachother and it quickly seems we have a rash of over-achieving youngsters being held back because they are "too good." Congratulations America, we have been punishing adults for being successful for a long time, now it seems the next logical step is to squash any attempt by a child to rise above the status quo.

This shit makes me absolutely sick.
