Rage People need to stop telling their kids

[Penalizer69]

That a job is too unrealistic and/or mention how difficult it is to get. I usually see this with sports but you can see it with any "big" career choice. I get the intention behind it, have a plan b and don't get your hopes up, but it does more harm than good. Every kid knows they're probably not gonna be a footballer when they grow up, but that doesn't mean they should give up playing and it can put off people with the potential to actually do it.

There are many things I could've and would've done if I hadn't been told "it's impossible" or "really difficult." Why is it the first thing we tell kids?

Let them try as long as they're still doing the other things that matter (school, exercise, taking care of themselves)

i can understand you, i see the face of the kids when their parents do this, I think most of them already know, so why saying again and again? My mom never said "you can't" but she never said "you're good at this" so the 'kid me' understood really quick.
