Why Kids Need to Face the Real World
We were never told how to fight when we were born. We were told to be nice, to do good deeds — and life seemed good. Until one day, we realized something wasn’t right.
The Illusion of a Perfectly Nice World
Since childhood, some parents are very nice to their kids.
However, sometimes they create a very supportive environment — too supportive — and isolate them.
You’re not allowed or sent outside to play or talk with other kids.
This isolation creates an illusion in your mind:
that your parents being nice means the world is nice, because your parents were the only people you interacted with.
They were your whole world...
Why Isolation Feels Safe
This kind of isolation can be helpful — it protects children from things they shouldn’t see too early, like drugs or violence.
But over time, it becomes a dominant trait. The child stops feeling comfortable leaving home — their comfort zone.
They are not able to create their boundaries, and it becomes very difficult for them to speak up for themselves.
When Reality Hits: School and the World Outside
In secondary or high school, such children are very prone to being bullied. They can’t say “no.”
Sometimes, that “bullying” isn’t even bullying — friends might just be joking around —
but the child still feels hurt, because they’re used to being loved all the time.
The Balance Every Parent Should Find
I’m not saying don’t love your kids, or don’t be supportive parents.
What I’m saying is: from time to time, let your kids face the world. Let them see how cruel it can be.
Let them play outside. Let them interact with others.
Even a short time out there can make a huge difference.
Otherwise, they’ll have to figure it all out on their own — and they’ll grow up less mature, shocked by reality.
Teach Strength, Not Just Kindness
So let your kids see the world outside their home.
Don’t just teach them “be nice and you’ll be treated nicely.”
Teach them:
Be good to those who are good to you.
Create your boundaries.
Learn when to speak up.
Being a nice person doesn’t always mean being a good person.
