bullying

But I know the problem has only intensified since the BBC scrapped 'Playschool' and gave 'Blue Peter' and modern facelift job.

I think you'll find parents are to blame, not the TV

I think you'll find parents are to blame, not the TV

i think everything and everyone is to blame all playing a part, tv, video games, music, news, advertising, parents, schools, peers, kids themselfs, drink, drugs and smoking

all to easy just to blame the parents, when in many families both parents have to work, tv for showing sex, voilence earlier, the trash soaps that are just depressing, video games, so realistic now - young kids wanting to kill. games such as grand theft auto, with nothing but swearing and beating the hell out of people. music industry for the rap crap of 'musicians' just all thru the record, singing about beating women, money, drugs, being a 'gangster'. news for reporting only the bad news- am sure we all feel happier if we never watch it. advertising forcing kids to grow up too quick, aiming at kids, kids need to have the dearest clothes, toys or your just left out. schools how about teaching kids a bit of self respect and encouragement and respect others, what a difficult job teachers have today. their peers, daring and pushing each others into petty crime, alone their nothing but in a pack they think their tough, if you dont want to be left out, you have to be in a gang. kids themselfs, no self respect, low esteem, no goals, no dreams, no ambition. drugs, drink and smoking more and more teenagers and even younger are taking drugs, drinking and smoking, wether its the pressure from their peers or to escape thier depressing life...

no quick fix, but someone has to start somewhere. or what are kids going to be like in future generations...
