I don't know how everyone else feels but sometimes I get really annoyed when I see kids playing on games consoles, laptops and teens obsessed with their social networking sites and mobile phones.
I feel like society has changed too much. Growing up as a Kid, I would ride my bike everyday, climb trees, build dens, play hide and seek, spend hours up at my tree house, play with my toys for hours and invent games with them, read comics, go to sleepovers at my friends house, ride to the shops for ice cream and sweets, have water fights during the summer, write letters to my grandparents and cousins, I also had a penpal, I was an avid reader, I really enjoyed playing board games with my family and friends and I'd just spend hours playing outside with my friends making up games.
I just don't see that much around anymore and it makes me feel sad. I know its really silly, I feel like was simpler and people were happier and kids had much more fun compared to now. They make think they have fun on their ipads, but its not really.
I feel parents are a lot to blame for this. I would encourage my kids to spend time outside and take up hobbies. I wouldn't buy my kids electronic toys and even if I bought one game console, I wouldn't allow them to spend hours on it. The same with mobile phones, I'll only buy my children one when they turn 16 and a basic one to call and text with five pounds topup.
What do you think?
