No offense taken. I don't let message boards impact me emotionally.
Like I said, for some it is easier that for others. That doesn't mean people shouldn't work towards it. Just because I'll never be a great guitar player and it doesn't come easily to me, doesn't mean I shouldn't work toward it. And that is just something I want to do.
Protecting yourself emotionally and controlling your emotions is far more important in life.
Would you tell a kid not to bother trying to play the guitar because you think they just can't do it? I wouldn't. Just as I would encourage kids to recognize that some people are mean and that if you let them get you upset, they win. If you can teach kids to take a step back and not be emotionally involved in the teasing, it gives them an entirely new perspective. That method has worked great with my daughter and the catty middle school girls.
