If kids are already breaking because they don’t have support to hold their hands through 11th grade history class, if it’s too hard to get up and get to school everyday, pay attention, do your homework, etc without special attention from adults …. I mean …. Life is really gonna kick your ass later

Yeah because as we all know, teenagers (14-18 for high school mind you, not sure why you’re specifically saying 11th graders?) are emotionally mature, rational actors who are ready to take on the world with no emotional support or direction.

It’s just hyperbole to illustrate a point. I don’t know why people are so literal online.

I’m not just talking about 11th graders lol

I’m saying that the time to need emotional support from your teachers happens much younger. When you’re 14-18 you’re learning to be an adult. If you don’t learn how to manage yourself emotionally, or provide your own means of motivations, etc you’re not developing into adulthood on a pace that should be expected of you.

If your emotional development is too far delayed, it’s likely to cause you suffering the longer you take to learn it.

Where’s the hyperbole? You’re also affirming what I’m saying with the rest of your comment.
