Earlier tonight there was a feature run on the ITN News called the LOST CHILDHOOD. Quoting and interviewing children aged from 7 -10, stating that they had worries about School Exams, Terrorism and crime as just a few examples. IMHO, I believe it is the Media creating a load of hype over nothing. What has a 7 to 10 year old got to worry about!
Worry to me is worrying about whether you can make the next payment on your mortgage, or pay the bills, or if you can afford to buy your kids a pair of shoes etc?
It is my view that the kids today have never had it so good. They get everything they ask for. Compare that to the kids of the same age in the 50's and 60's even earlier if needed.
Last year I asked my 10 year old grandson what he would like for Chrismas, his answer? A Fridge - A fcuking fridge! I said what do you want a fridge for?
He said it would save him coming out of bedroom for a drink. I managed to get a look in his bedroom a few weeks ago, it was like Aladdins cave, DVD Player, video, Tv, gameboy etc. All I had in my bedroom when I was a kid, was a bloody bed.
What a load of bollocks from ITN.
Anybody agree - disagree?
BTW- he didn't get the fridge! FFS
