Why is it so hard for some people to grow up?

This week has been full of drama...and I hate drama. The sad part of this is the drama was from adults not kids...most of them men. WTH! I was raised to speak my mind and own my opinions...right or wrong. I was also raised to admit when I'm wrong...not a fun thing to do but necessary. So when I hear of adults belittling children in front of others...it just burns my ass. Most of the experiences I hear of are with coaches. We all know how the saying goes...those who can do, those who can't teach/coach. Now I don't necessarily agree with that but in a few cases...it is so true. Gotta love a grown man who belittles a child in front of all his classmates and coaches and then realizes what an ass they are (weeks later) but apologizes to the child in private. Grow up and grow a set! If you are man enough to say it out loud then be man enough to apologize out loud! How about the kid who has medical issues and is told he is lazy because he can't work out or the kid who is compared in a negative way to their sibling or the kid who hears the adults whispering about them in a negative way or the kids that are threatened to be cut from the team in the middle of the season or the kids that are wrongly accused of something in front of a team? My best advice is this...Unless you and your family are perfect...THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! Oh...and Grow up! I really wish we, as a society would hold adults to the same standards that we hold children.
