Many if not most parents are very heavy on that you are worth what your work is worth. So you want to do a good job at school, and you want to do a good job at your other jobs. And you begin to put your work above most things.
Then some mean teacher has a bad day and rips up your drawing to force you to do it all over again. Or a project manager realizes that you are programmed this way, so he sends the most impossible junk into your hand, just to blame you if you are not done with it on time if at all. Or an accountant just suddenly decides that market conditions want to fire you. How much are you worth then?
So, why is it a good idea for parents to hand us over to bullies?
I am speculating, that either they want to push their failures onto us, or it is simply entertaining for them when we suffer.
