I work with 12 to 19 year olds - I quite agree about how the media lambasts our youngsters with so many blatant innuedoes - it is no wonder they are as they are? From pop videos to fashion the ideaology that children need to be all grown up by the time their twelve beats me. Whats let for them to find, explore ,determine their own self worth when they've all ready experienced the seedier side of life and find it o.k.!!I certainly didin't have these ideals for my own children and don't have them for my grandchildren. Many people over here regard these views as old-fashioned but if this is what it takes to let children be children once more we have to find a way of returning to the basics of decent family life.
