Children must be taught to follow the Christian Way - nothing else is as important! If they asked "what would Jesus do"? they would spend their time much more profitably by engaging in prayer and fellowship with other young Christians. It is no wonder they are not healthy given todays ungodly society! It is up to the parents to bring these little lambs back to the Shepherd's fold.

Seems fair enough to me. When they get older they will have to be working 14 hours a day 7 days a week to feed politicians' love of war and love of taxes, so they may as well get used to not having much sleep now - they face a lifetime of it.

"Experts recomment 8 hours (sleep)" runs the first line of this story. The top related story on the BBC site quotes a sleep expert saying "Individuals who now average 6.5 hours of sleep a night can be reassured this is a safe amount of sleep". Lazy journalism? Surely not.

To pay for the house prices when they get older, the kids of today will all need second jobs, and will have to work very long hours,"this is if they dont have kids of their own just to get a fully subsidised or paid for, for life council place"
8 - 10 hours sleep a night will be a sheer luxury, for all those who wish to own their own homes.
Only the "Council House Accomidation Vultures" (C.H.A.V's) will get a good nights sleep as they will never willingly leave the gravy train, funded by others.

I have an interesting HYS topic:
Is there a "Right" and a "Left" ?
Or is there, (as is my opinion) just a whole bunch of individuals, each with their own selfish wants, desires, and views.
There is no such thing as a 'society'. People only work together if it suits them, or if they are paid for it.
Why do people bang on about the "Left" and "Right" ???
We are all the same at the end of the day.....

Poor parenting all round is damaging children.
Why so?
There has been a general breakdown in society - children either don't have two parents or if they do, the parents are out working and not monitoring the activities of their kids.
So if we're talking about:
- Black gangs
- Teenage Shooting
- Childhood obesity
- Junk sleep
- The rise in ADHD and other behavioural issues etc. etc.
It's all the same thing. Treating the symptoms may ease the pain, but it won't cure the problem

No wonder most teens are obese, they do nothing. All it takes is a bit of firm self 'motivation' and showing a bit of respect to their elders and they may find their elders will show respect in return.
