KIDS R’ US

Life used to be so simple in Primary School, cant I go back? My mother prepared everything for me, from lunch, clothes, hair, school bag, the works. All I did was eat, sleep and play.

The same cannot be said for kids of today. Things have changed dramatically and it is not for the better. Play stations, video games, television shows, social networks have replaced childhood games like hopscotch, snakes and ladders, sports as well as educational activities such as boy scouts, brownies as well as girl guides. Things have taken a turn for the worse. Kids are engaging in sexual activities at a very tender age and academic results have dropped, the future seems bleak.

Ultimately, it seems that the parents need to educate their kids about what is right, wrong and acceptable. It is unfortunate though that children have an influence on one another and they all come from different backgrounds; thus endure different teachings. The onus is on each parent to brighten their childrens’ future by directing them to conform to the rules. It’s not simple but worth the effort. PeaceJ
