Palo Alto kids get depressed and panicked when told that not all of them
will become billionaires, multi millioners and captains of industry. This is
the kind of pressure parents and or school peer pressure is causing. Palo
Alto used to be the nicest imaginable place to live in. Friendly people who
greeted strangers on the street with a smile and a good morning. Friendly
neighbors, the most polite drivers I had ever seen. Now, people are uptight,
tense, angry and judgmental. Neighbors ignore and don't know each other.
Kids are put into such a competitive school environment, that even those
without emotional problems are stressed out to the max, and those with metal
issues sometimes crack under the pressure and expectations.
