Being told about sex in Junior School not infants, and not believing in something so heinous :Wideyed:

What Have Today's Kids Missed Out On Being kids. When I was a kid I was a kid, and not 6 going on 60. It seems that having a childhood is something to be skipped as quick as possible before they can dive headlong into a miniature adulthood.
Ridiculous clothing trends.... I remember the days in the late 80's & early 90's when shorts were either offensively patterned long and baggy Bermudas, or skin tight Lycra, with the odd dash of fluorescent panels. Add in global hyper colour t shirts odd Fluorescent socks (something I keep alive every Friday) and Nike air trainers and you have a visual...... ummmmm........ event. Dull jeans ten sizes too big and a hoodie just aren't in the same league
Kids don't have a past, they look to the future. It's a bloody disgrace that we leave them to collect the rubbish. We have forgot the responsibility we have, it should not be based on big houses, bank accounts, cars, bikes, it should be based on happiness, partnership, relationships, the family unit, caring and understanding for others, free will, not control, love. We are born wanting love and companionship, we need each other. I hope the kids of the future look back at us with understanding that we knew no better, that we were blind to the corporate world we grew up. That we honestly believed that hurting others was the way forward, in the name of world peace. We are here for a short time, we come into this world with nothing, we will leave with nothing. Don't forget, there is a future.
OMG....give me a tree to hug. We decided not to be shellfish and add more mini me's to the world. Did the government decide to reward me with non_children benefits...no. Do I still pay more than my fair share of taxes to fund schools, play grounds etc ..yes. I help keep the capitalist market ticking by investing in new bike things. "Utopia" people...watch it .....and learn. Where is Jessica Hyde?
I was out running on Wednesday and part of the run goes past a large park. I noticed the sheer amount of horse chestnut seeds (conkers) on the ground, some good ones too, you know the ones with the sharp edges. It got me thinking that as I child I'd have been out with the old man, picking all these up in a carrier bag ready for conkers in the playground. Do kids play conkers anymore?
