Ponds Forge has a large hall too

Who's they?

They never were. You had non-spotty teenagers who did bad things too, you just look at history with rose tinted glasses like so many from older generations. Just look at Facebook and the garbage shared about how the 70's and 80's were great followed by a list of really superficial things. Maybe it was all romantic that the street lights were the beckon call from home, but if you got HIV you were dead, and the dreaded C wasn't far behind. Times change and things move on, and it's the older generations voting Tory and keeping things **** for EVERYONE! Yeah including you. They don't give a **** about you. You just helped get them, and keep them in power, despite very sore sphincters. Weird lot you are.

A fully broken society where wealth is so disproportionately distributed, that the impacts are visible for miles. A few people owning more then 70 million or so. The other countries where this disparity is just as prevalent are just as lawless, and mostly completely undemocratic. The exception is America. The land of the free. Where wealth is concentrated on a few while the rest fight over the scraps. If you learned the science as deeply as I did while nurturing my own mental health, you'd know it's unchallenged, that although we do have thought processes that lead to a decision (our action following stimulus), there are lot's of disorders that remove humans unique ability to pause before taking action. Add in past trauma, and the complete lack of willingness or ability in the NHS to distinguish between a disorder and low mood, and you end up with a society of SSRI zombies, with untreated disorders, ending up really broken. Imagine what happens if you remove the ability to pause before taking action. Do some reading man. It's good for the mind and the soul. Everything we do is just a stimulus, that triggers certain neurons to fire, triggering a cascading effect of other responses, which results in an action. If you think that people can fully control that all the time, then you are completely wrong, and how do you not hate everyone deeply? We all do bad things sometimes, even to the ones we love. If you believe that everything is always fully calculated and with intent, you must hold lot's of grudges. Of course we need to be held accountable for our actions, and we need to put measures in place to stop those things happening again. But laying everything at the feet of broken people who can't get help is the wrong way to look at this whole situation, and will just make things worse. What we have is a society where broken people are raising broken people to be fully functional broken people. It's sad, and it won't change because of peoples lack of understanding of the mind, and a unwillingness to even try to learn. It's far easier to blame the feckless youth after all.

Are you suggesting me seeing my mum smacked about, and an undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder are somehow my fault? I've asked for further investigation at least 5 times throughout my life. Each time I was given a different version of the same tablet and told to learn to meditate. Invariably after 6 months of high highs and low lows, i'd settle back with citalopram because it gave me a constant mid range low. Enough to shut me up for another year or 2. No real lows, but no real highs either, except the occasional panic attack were no one could convince me I wasn't dying and I ended up at hospital. I guess that was a little exciting at least. Something different ya know. Meditating helped me massively, but only once I understood why I was doing it, and once I accepted that I had a disorder that was fully responsible for a lot of the things I do. I still can't get the tablets that are proven to help people with my disorder because I have a maladaptive coping mechanism. They want me to quit the thing giving me enough equilibrium to live, before I can even go on a waiting list, that is at least 18 months long. I can 100% guarantee you I wouldn't survive those 18 months. And then you'd have 3 kids without a dad, probably fully broken, and when they go to the docs for struggles, they will just be turned into SSRI zombies, because it's easier and cheaper to deliver than therapy in the short term; for this years budget at least. I dread to think how much my 25 years of SSRI treatment has cost the country. Luckily I have managed to work through most of this and aside from a Drunk & Disorderly when 18 and a possession of a class c, have remained relatively law abiding. This means I don't have to fight the horrible side of society that wants to fully blame and hate me for all of these failures, on top of still being residually broken. My mind still triggers an adrenaline response to stimulus it doesn't need to out of habit. I will need to fight this all my life, it may get somewhat better but without real treatment there is still a lot of ongoing low key trauma. Missed that bill, missed that appointment, forgot to cancel that direct debit so that important bill is now missed, sacked from another job for being late etc etc etc

Because the education system is broken, child services are broken, and the mental health system is in crisis. Also I am assuming you have never been in a prison cell! It's not cushty like you make out. My mental health was ignored for 25 years. Despite repeated visits to doctors and an insistence by myself there was more, I was told anxiety and depression, take these SSRIs and mediate for your boohoo's. I was fully broken for 25 years and ignored blatantly. I have ADHD and Sooo much unresolved Trauma I didn't even know existed. Add to that my life been in complete chaos because of the undiagnosed ADHD. And because I had no clue I was told I was just lazy and **** all that time. I can tell you as fact, if I didn't have my 3 little bunbles of "protective factors" I wouldn't be here today. I had a friend who was in a similar position about the same time. Only one of us made it through. The world is in a mental health pandemic. We have lost complete touch with the real meaning of it all, and I'd hazard a guess that most of the parents of these hoodlems have unresolved stuff like I did. I fixed myself with research and introspection. Not everyone has that skillset or ability. It was tough ok. It's a miracle I'm not a hoodlem tbh. But I do have some maladaptive coping mechanisms just like the hoodlems do. I just get high and sit at home though. The world is broken, stop blaming the kids. It's unfair to hold someone to account for standards they sometimes don't even know exist, and in someways are almost impossible to achieve, without a sheer grit and determination that not everyone is fortunate enough to have. RIP the 2 lads.

Anyone seen that Subaru. Not heard about that in a while! If you know you know!

When I pay my tax I don't grumble because I like to think my tax money is helping people like you. Not those who abuse the system, or the filthy rich who still manage to cream it in benefits in kind. Do not feel like you are a burden!!

What did I just watch!

Basil Rathbon and Don Kiddick - Where are you?

Hi All, Just wondering if there are any groups with younger poeple in the Sheffield/Rotherham area. I don't mind a mixed aged group, just some people in their 30's who I may have more in common with. For further clarification, I am a recovering alcoholic, about to leave rehab on Monday, and looking for new ways to fill my time. Also would need to be a beginner group until I can get my fitness up. Thanks in advance :-)
