Yes. Their strategies are the same as those used by the mean kids. My mom saw this coming many years ago. She always blamed it on the child rearing book written by Dr Spock. She would tell me about how that book was promoted as "THE BEST AND ONLY WAY TO RAISE CHILDREN". She would go on and on about how screwed up the world would be when all those children raised by the Dr Spock method grew up. Looks like dear ol mom was right!
