Telling someone they’re not good enough is not okay
Telling someone they’re not good enough is not okay
I don’t care if you’re joking. I don’t care if you think ‘It will push them to work harder.’ Because it isn’t a joke, and it will not always make someone want to work harder to prove you wrong.Sometimes they accept it as a fact, then they live with a mindset of “Why try when I’m just going to fail?”
It’s not okay.

I remember acing my AP European History test and being ecstatic about it until I told my father and he shrugged it off like it was nothing. Then I felt terrible for feeling so proud of myself.
I don’t want to sound whiny, but I really needed the reminder that it’s not okay to only point out the bad things. I remember during finals last year I got all A’s, I got a hundred and five on my math test for gods sake, but I got one C in Latin. When I told my dad all that he commented on was the C, basically brushed off all the others as expected and drove me into sadness. It sucked
