It isn't necessarily just the educational system that's leaving this impression, it is a culture at large, for example on social media, and in various fields including the arts. Parents can influence all they want but the outside world needs to support these influences to an extent or they fall flat.

Yeah, I suppose that's true, you do need some resilience to peer/societal pressure. I could be a struggle.

But what are the parents to do when they weren’t taught to do that by their own parents? There needs to be an intervention to break the cycle.
