This recent study finds that the kids who win the popular game in high school often end up with negative outcomes as adults, so this would be another place where the only way to win the game is not to play.

That's middle school, Dude.

The study doesn't say what the blurb says it says.

Also, they don't appear to consider going to law school and practicing law as "negative outcomes," so the study is clearly flawed.
