In my experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a counselor and professor
25 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and socially. But students now are less
mature and often not ready for the responsibility of being in college.

It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s obstacles. Parents, who

<b>handle</b> every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children from writing admission essays to picking
college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s lack of coping strategies. But we can look even more
broadly to the social trends of today.

How many people do you know who are <b>on medication</b> to prevent anxiety or depression? The number of students
who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We,
as a society, don’t want to “feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly don’t want our children to “suffer”.

The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate
and negotiate adversity. As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact that some individuals suffer from depression and
anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I question the growing number of medicated adolescents today.

Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but I don’t
believe that the college experience itself is more <b>intense</b> today than that of the past 10 years. What I do think is
that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults” with all the responsibilities of life.

What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basic parenting of these students
- the student who complains that her professor didn’t remind her of the due date for an assignment that was clearly
listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on an assignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism.

As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college student before we can
even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we should expect young people to meet challenges. To encourage
<b>them </b>in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. This
approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood.

Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York
Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year in
1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle symbolized the
hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.

Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and

left-handed. He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a
wonderful athlete, but <b>this</b> alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him.

Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red- haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from
Oklahoma. His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy- tale
version of the American dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who
wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.

<b>But </b>like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played
without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to <b>fulfill</b> his father’s dreams and drank to
forget his father’s early death.

It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and
<b>accelerated </b>the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life and
warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped. Despite a liver
transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle
died of cancer at the age of 63.
