Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
What does "they" refer to in "as they did with me"? If jogging, why shouldn't the author use "it" since it is a singular form? If referring to physical weaknesses, can you paraphrase the the sentence "as they did with me"?
2 Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.
Can you paraphrase the above sentence?
Many thanks |

1. The writer of this sentence got confused. he means "as it (jogging) did with me."
2. Children who become addicted to being praised might later expect their friends to praise them even for agreeing to sit in the back seat instead of the front of a car. |
