WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH KIDS NOWADAYS?
- Thread starter AKAZIE
- Start date
I remember when I was lil I used to go out and play and shit like that. and alot of the toys I did have were alot of learning shit like the speak and spell and all that other shit which was cool but I also had the transformers and g.i joes shit I didnt even have any video games or shit like that til I was 11 or so even then still didnt play all the time. My parents made sure I wasnt no dumb ass kid been reading since I was 3 and still am a book worm. its cool to let a kid play video games and stuff like that but balance it out though. make them go outside and play or take em to the park stuff like that
I don't give a shit about these lazy kids that don't want to learn anything in school and end up failing. I always tell them I don't care because I'm always going to need someone to cook my french fries, cut my lawn, or clean my house.
For example, I was in a 6th grade math class today and their ONLY assignment was to identify 20 shapes and definitions using notes and their textbook. I go up to this kid who hasn't filled out anything and start telling him about how when I was three years old, I had this toy that was a ball. Half of it was red, the other half blue and it had all of these different shapes cut out of it so you could stick the shapes through the correct hole. My dad would sit down with me and have me identify each shape. It wasn't a mandatory thing, it was bonding. He had me identifying shapes such as parallelogram, trapezoid, pentagon, among the simple shapes such as square and circle. I look at the kid and tell him I could do this at three years old, you can't even do it with open book/notes.

Let the kids be kids tho, but it is the parents fault for not taking them out to the park or do activities outside the house..
My BM hates the fact that I bought my daughter a Nintendo DS, she says I'm making her lazy tho. I don't see how that makes her lazy, she does her homework after school, we go to the park and do other shit when she's with me on the weekends.
The same thing Shea told his BM I told my BM too, "don't say shit to me, we stopped fucking back in 2005. So you have no right to address me on anything that I buy for my daughter whenever she's with me"..

You must be talking about this:

As you can see, it is RARE...dont let Hollywood fool you (Rainman).

It is NOT always the parents fault. 100% about the parents? You can't possibly make such a statement without properly analyzing the child. If you witness a child disobeying his parent, acting out, and only being able to stay focused when playing a video game; how do you know this is a product of bad parenting and not due to a genetic disorder? Conduct-Disorder and Opposition-Defiant-Disorder have been PROVEN to be genetic.
Etiology of ODD/CD
Ÿ Genetic Influences
§ Heritability = 50% for antisocial behavior
Ÿ Twin concordance:
§ MZ = .85
§ DZ = .70
Meaning, if you have an identical twin with Conduct Disorder, you you have an 85% chance of being born with this disorder too.Twin studies are used to determine whether something is inheritable or whether it isn't.
Please educate yourself on the topic and refrain from pulling faux facts/statistics from within the deep of your anus.
If a child is born with Down Syndrome, he/she will still have Down Syndrome no matter how proactive the parent may be when it comes to helping this child.
These disorders are neurological (certain chemicals in the brain do not function as they should).
In fact, 80% of children with ADHD have co-morbid disorders (Conduct Disorder, Learning Disorder, Opposition Disorder, etc). So even with therapy, special school programs, etc; a good parent may be able to keep the symptoms down at bay to a certain extent, but the child will still not be 'normal'. Those who display the least symptoms, have learned certain 'tricks' so to speak on how to work around their disorder. However, if left untreated, the symptoms will become worse. The child will become more violent, for example; as opposed to just not being able to focus during a task in school. Parents have to learn how to 'work around' the disorder to achieve best results. The disorder will still be present. ADHD continues into adolescence and adulthood.
PS: Personal anecdote is NOT evidence. Do not generalize. There are various levels/types of ADHD. I am glad that your friends have learned how to manage the disorder and went on to be very successful. However, this is far from always being the case.
Then it's the parent's job to monitor their kid and make sure he doesn't become a video game/ internet/ porn addict.
The only case where I see that's okay is if the kid is a professional video game player, and yes there are jobs like that where kids are making 30,000 for 6 weeks. Man I wish I had a job like that...

Damn! that's a cunt move to the fullest, yeah my BM tried to do the same thing. But my daughter brought it back and I told her she's gonna have to keep it here with me because I ain't buying her another one if her moms decides to throw the DS away.
Another thing that I don't understand, the bitch hasn't gotten pregnant yet by her dude. I told her boyfriend to get the bitch pregnant so he can start feeling some of the heat I go through wit the bitch ...
I swear to god tho, sometimes I think she's really a fucking witch ......
how the bitch gonna say she broke when she driving a 2007 Benz CLS550???
bitches man..i hate them..

Your parenting tactics seem to be largely influenced by the animosity you feel towards the mother of your children. Its as if you do some of the things you do just out of spite. This thread is about kids, yet you keep rambling about your baby'z mama and how much of a cunt she is, and how bitches are this and bitches are that. Stay on topic.
I'd side with a fucking gerbil, if what the gerbil was doing was the best thing for the child's well-being. Once again, leave your spousal issues out of this and focus on the well-being of your child.

Shit man, when I was a kid, I would....
Break windows
make sling shots
make bean shooters
build fortresses in backyard and go at war with the other kids in the neighborhood
ride my bike and hit the jumps
skateboard, build ramps
make homemade kites
burn shit
go on missions around town on my bike, ride to 7-11, liquor store,etc...
hit the sewers up and go on a journey inside
play baseball, football, soccer, basketball
and so much other shit that makes me smile. Being indoors was like punishment. Fuck being inside the house when your a kid.
Thank God for my childhood. Kids are fucking lame these days, but in reality it really ain't their fault, society has just created so much bull$hit like myspace, MP3 players, game systems,etc... that it's just too easy for kids to get their hands on and get addicted.

My testicles are indeed intact, my friend.
I am not concerned with any of your BM issues. I am for whatever is best for the child. I will side with whoever seems to be the best parent. I do not care about your petty relationship issues, so get a shrink and you can bitch to him all about how much your BM pisses you off. It'll make you feel better. I promise.
