Nephew gave up drawing recreationally for almost a year after a
  teacher said he "obviously wasn't trying hard enough" to draw an
  owl in the 3rd grade. He really took it to heart. Took 9 months
  or so of gentle coaxing now and again and he started drawing
  again in the summertime. That kind of stuff can stick with you
  for a lifetime - a single comment at the wrong time.
