【正确答案】Is Frustration a Bad Thing?
There are two quite opposite educational views①．One that we should give college students an encouraging education without much suffering. The other holds that college students should be prepared for the possible failure in their future lives through suffering frustration．From my viewpoint, I agree with the latter view with no hesitation. It is common for us to suffer setbacks in the course of our growing up.
Frustration is an essential part of our life②．If young people consider it as a test or challenge. frustration may turn out to be a good thing．
The feeling going with frustration is not a welcomed one③，such as helplessness, upset, annoyance, or depression. So many parents do their best to shelter their children from any difficulty and give them comfortable lives without any frustration．
But things always go contrary to their wishes④．Every now and then，we are astonished at the news about the suicide of college students. It seems that our young generation becomes more vulnerable than ever before. I attribute their
mental vulnerability⑤to their frustration-free life experience．The fact is that no matter there exists parents' protection or not, we will inevitably experience failure or frustration some day in our life．Just as the old saying goes：“Failure is the mother of success”，frustration may transform into a kind of motivation if treated properly, and it could also inspire us to
overcome difficulties and achieve our goals⑥．
In a word．frustration is definitely good to the young college students．When we are under great trouble in study and life, the earlier we learn how to face the frustration, the greater success we will obtain.
