My son has been killing people on his xbox 360 since the age of 8, and a more well rounded, polite and generally super young man you could not wish to meet.
He is so super because his father and I actually bothered to interact with him, you know, talking and that.
Walking everywhere,chatting as we go.
Teaching right from wrong, not to forget that most people are bastards and how to tell the good from the bad, sod religion (and why) always admitting when we got it wrong etc etc.
About racism,why it's wrong,plenty of history.
How to tell them what they want to hear at school also helped.
He's only ten, and can give as good as he gets and is nobody's fool.
I have no idea why so many people have kids that they don't seem to give a fuck about where it really counts.
This is probably off topic which is about right for me.
It all comes back to the rampant consumerism.
God, when I was a puppy all I did was ride me bike,go swimming,do homework,and read loads, none of which cost (apart from the swimming!)
Poor as fuck,alcoholic father that me mum kicked out when I was eleven,then stuck in a shit terraced house. Still, at least my mum could do a degree course for nothing, and got a modest grant, so we didn't starve.
I tire of this "I'm bored" bollocks, but you can't help but feel sorry for anyone stuck in some parts of this country,overcrowded,dirty,and NO JOBS. I'm probably going to regret posting this!
