irenewilde   10 #351 Posted April 25, 2013 Give it time.  Have you any idea how long Forge Dam has been around?! It's not new you know! You could suggest it's because it's a different sort of area but about a mile away from Forge Dam, there's a playground called Spider Park which opened in 2001 or 2002. That's had a bit of a thumping from the mindless minority too. There'll always be some slack jawed idiots who get their thrills from spoiling and destroying rather than doing anything positive or finding an interest. Too stupid to think.  ---------- Post added 25-04-2013 at 14:38 ----------  I'm not condoning their behaviour, just offering an explanation as to why they may have done this.  But its not an explanation is it, because it has no foundation in truth at all. There are plenty of playgrounds, there are plenty of youth clubs & groups of every description. And the huge array of entertainment they can make for themselves at home with computers & games consoles is beyond the wildest things we could have imagined when we were kids.  It's just one of those platitudes people trot out when they can't think of anything original to say.

Why because kids were brought up properly. Pitty discipline of children has gone down the tubes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

catpus   10 #356 Posted April 25, 2013 Megalithic says: >kids get bored and vandalise stuff< Kids get bored becasue they are taught to be, by being stuck in front of a TV from the moment they are born. And ime the ones who vandalise, are those who have never ever been shown respect or taught self respect. Don't blame the kids.... blame their parents.  Youth Clubs everywhere try to address this.. If you have children; then take the time to encourage them to get involved in a hobby from an early age; and when they get to the age where they want to be independent from their parents and hang around with their mates, doing their own thing, then subtly direct them to the nearest Youth Club one or two nights, where they will be safe and will be accepted for who they are... and also empowered to make good choices and decisions to help them in future. The more you respect and trust a child, the straighter they grow. imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
