... very very sad? Either they are fake or there are some serious underlying psychological issues.

Perhaps this is a product of a "curled" child. A child that has not been faced with failure, problems or criticism before and so the reaction is this disproportionally violent?

In Sweden we see a steady increase in people entering mental hospital from being dumped by their boyfriend/girlfriend, or even from their cats dying.

In overprotecting our youth we do not prepare them for real life. I wouldn't be surprised if someone made their political campaign based on a law that all children should wear helmets at all times, in case they trip.

I'm just saying. Something is wrong.
