We must get them away from the net and mobile phones and into learning. We must stop giving them an encyclopedia of "syndromes" to use to get their own way and bunk off school. etc. We must stop the insidious march of social media frying their emotions. We are in danger of creating a useless zombie generation unless we act now.

Again, it's the lack of parenting.

I don't use social media.

Adults allow them to bunk off school?

[bednobs]

Yes nice bloke, if you see a lot of it. Parents have the attitude nowadays that kids were given 5 months off of school by the government so therefore why should the government insist that they go to school noww

[bednobs]

And yes TTT I quite agree with you on most of the things you say on this thread.

It's diffficult though as the parent of a 12-year-old to keep them away from all that shiz.

If parents really do have the attitude bednobs describes, they're morons.
