We keep building “hospitals under the bridge”

(Chelm story) instead of fixing the holes in the bridge

causing people to fall in the water in the first place.

Could it be due to any of the following?

1.media over-emphasis on perfection;

flawless nose,flawless toes,

size 4 fitting like a 0,and XL sewn like a size 4,etc.

2.ridiculous pressure in SOME schools,great for the average-bright,but torturous for those who must struggle

3.Way too much hurtful yenting.Kids know exactly how they are doing socially!

4.Parental alienation.

An UNNECESSARY side-effect of divorce.

You think every child doesn’t need a mother?

If you convince them they don’t,they’ll buy it…and pay for it by having “issues” later.

From all the depressed yidden who’ve posted here,I think this is a fairly accurate composite of factors.

Feel free to set me straight if I have it wrong.
