alcohol and young people!!!!!!!


Should alcohol advertising be band?


Yes I think alcohol advertising should be band because there is a big issue with alcohol in society today.
There are so many children and young adults drinking and binge drinking these days, could it be because there's nothing else for them to do or could it be peer pressure?
There's nothing wrong with adults drinking occasionally for example: At weekends or at parties and in moderation, but some adults don't know when to stop and then that's when the problems start.
There are a lot of adults who can't handle there drink but they carry on drinking anyway and they become aggressive and violent, that's when the fighting starts. This could be why young teenagers and even younger children start drinking, adults are suppose to be role models for the younger generation but if that's all that children are seeing they are going to think its OK to drink alcohol.
You could also blame shops for selling alcohol to underage people, I personally think the law should be stricter and make it impossible for people under the age of 21 to buy alcohol....

ARE CHILDREN SAFE!!!!


I was watching the news this morning about a 17year old girl who was talking to a man who posed as a teenage boy on facebook. They met and he raped her then killed her.He was a man of 33 and is a convicted sex offender.My heart goes out to her parents, the question is what was she doing going to meet someone she had never met, surley at 17 she should have known about the dangers of meeting someone who you've only talked to online and have never met..Where do you draw the line children need there own space and freedom but you can't help worrying about them 24hours aday. As a parent myself im quite strict on who my child sees, where he is, who's he with, i constantly worry all the time because there are so many bad people out there.If I was asked which was safer let my child go to the corner shop on his own or let him go on the internet alone, my answer would be neither because there have been so many children abducted and murdered by walking home from school, going to the local shops even playing in their own back gardens.Its the same for the internet, there are so many pedofiles and sex offenders praying on children over the internet posing as kids themselves.Why are there so many sex offenders, pedofiles on our streets? I think its because the law is to soft on offenders and on many occasions they get 5 years in prison and are let back out on the streets knowing that they are going to commit crimes again, whats worse they sometimes let sex offenders and pedofiles live near schools and childrens play areas WHY???

GAMES!!!


As an adult gamer I love to play games on my xbox 360.
At the moment I'm playing Bio-Shock 2 and it is a really good game, the story line is really good and the battles with the big sisters is really entertaining. But at the moment I think the games industry are catering for the adult gamer more and more which is good news for the likes of me but what about the younger kids? They brought out the wii desighed for children and familys and the games industry are starting to bring out more and more adult themed games for the wii. Why can't they just bring out kids games and family games for the wii and leave the adult games for the likes of xbox 360 and ps3

What are your thoughts leave a comment!!!

its officially spring


Yesterday was officially the beginning of spring AT LAST!!!! But wait a minute its still bloody freezing cold out there.
I woke up this morning looked outside seen the lovely blue sky and thought to myself it looks really nice out there. About half hour later I went outside and nearly froze to death.
We've had such a bad winter. Its been too cold, lots of snow, hav'nt been able to go anywhere, but now it's spring why is'nt it getting any warmer?
Its still too cold to go anywhere the forcast is for yet more snow, what happened to global warming ????
We don't really have seasons anymore and its very rare we get sunshine,its either raining, cold and raining or windy cold and raining, i'm not surprised so many Brits move to hotter countrys, belive me if I had the money I would go and join them....
