This is NOT going to help the reputation that today’s kids are BEYOND fragile and coddled. At the University of Utah, there’s a new “cry closet” in the library.  And…

Included will be the libraries of Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan, the New York Public Library and the University of Oxford, including the Bodleian.

This is NOT going to help the reputation that today's kids are BEYOND fragile and coddled. At the University of Utah, there's a new "cry closet" in the library. 

And students who are stressed out can pop into the closet to cuddle with some stuffed animals and cry it out.

The closet was designed by an art student at the school . . . and there's no word on how much traffic it's been getting during finals season.
