forgivness is for losers?

[marcella]

just seen an ad' for a new game, the crux of which states "take revenge as forgivness is for losers"
now im no bible puncher, and there's a shitload of offences that if foisted upon me i would indeed seek revenge, but i doubt that todays 10 year olds really need that kind of tuition.
what do you think

10 year olds nothing, I picked up my 3 1/2 year old from pre school and when i got there I was told

" we had a little bit of a problem today"
Jake my son was asked to clear up after he had been playing, after he did about half of the tidying he decided he had had enough, on being asked to finish off he turned on the nursery assistant and said
"no and I'll beat you up"
where the hell did that come from, he is not allowed to watch anything violent on TV, he is not even allowed to answer back at home....
He came home shouting Power Ranger the other day kicking out with his feet, I know he's never seen it before, just picked it up from other kids, but at
3 1/2 trying to tell him it's wrong was really a struggle.Still onwards and upwards, if all else fails slap the little bugger, get branded a bad father and have him taken into care to be abusedc7u8
then you get these games advertised , no I don't agree with it..

Kids will always be influenced by peer pressure, they will play games topical to what is on television regardless of whether they are allowed to watch it or not as they will pick it up from their friends. It is difficult to get the message across to kids that something is wrong, if their friends are saying it is ok, I am not so sure that there is more violence on TV nowadays than there was in our day, but with todays technology it is more graphic, in the old western films someone got shot, he fell from his horse that was it. nowadays someone gets shot, you see the bullet travel in slow motion, you see the point of impact, you see the blood & gore. that leaves an indelible print in kids minds.

people think that if they shelter there kids from hours old, IE no swearing no dirty movies no nudity on television all that stuff then there kids will NEVER learn about it


wrong they go to school learn about it and get teased for being "a gody two shoes"
all you can do it teach your kids the differnce between right and wrong adn hope that you have taught them well enough to make a right decision after al no matter how good loving etc paretn you are you just can't be there 24/7

games tlike that i do agree are wrong, but in the end who's gonna play it?? the kids or the parents????

A mate of mine at work was telling me about his 5 yo first day at school. She came home, dropped her bag in the hall, sat on the sofa dangling her legs and said "I'm f*cked"

I've found the best way is to be calm about it, point out the difference between right and wrong and let them know it is their own decision which route they wish to take.

I'm not bragging but it seems to have worked OK with my teenager thus far, but you can never tell what might happen in the future - different mates, different attitude.

Don't get me wrong, we don't shelter him from anything, but we do monitor what he watches or plays with, he love old cowboy movies, I am against too much TV anyway. Still each day as it comes, but 3 1/2 is there no time of innocence anymore. I'm not the first to start worrying and sure as hell won't be last

Thanks guys

My eldest daughter was always in trouble at school and almost got expelled on no less than three occasions, I am pleased to report that she is doing very well for herself now, and one of bev & my proudest moments was only last year, when she said to us I wonder where I would be now if you had given up on me, and I think that is the key. kids will respond to a constant influence, if they fall in with a wrong crowd and the parents give up on them then they have no positive influence to guide them and will just go further off the rails.
