So,no such thing as this attention deficit disorder.It is a myth then.

Modern kids are mental and depressed due to the tele tubbies,lots of TV , adverts ,mobiles,the internet and no fresh air.

I could have told the experts that.Took long enough for them to work it out

More exercise and mental stimulation is all that's needed

I said this donkeys ago, same as all the drugs, allergies and inhalers. I am not that old, but there was like one ginger kid that got ill and took drugs and an inhaler and that was it. Every other kid was MADE to do P.E., made to swim, made to run cross-country and none of them cried for their mummy.

Those are important, but they aren't all that's needed. It's very easy to knock people with depression until you experience it yourself, of someone close to you has it. Whatever the causes, it's a very real problem.

I got depressed thinking about the cross country...........

There's proper depression and what is caused by tech overload, crap food and inactivity.

I get bored, listless and peed off, I go for a walk, soon feel better. So it stands to reason that idle kids that eat McDonalds and play video games all day will feel crap.

David Lock

well that's that solved then innit

They need to use a bit of imagination and find something interesting to do instead of expecting the world to do it all for them.

We used to go fishing and make go carts with pram wheels etc. and go onto some common land with a few hills and fall off them most of the time. Great fun!

As they say, idle hands is not good. There must be plenty of things to do these days if they do a bit of thinking for themselves.

Never has such an ironic post been made towards me

Think my input in the above thread probably covers it

DCI Gene Hunt

I second that, everyone already knows that SiPie can be a depressing ******.......

That wasn't a dig at you mate. I hadn't read the above thread but was commenting purely on what you said in this thread.

And I'm speaking from experience, sadly you are not the only one with experience in this area.

Edit: I'd like to elaborate but I'm not going to.

Edit2: I've just read your comments, very interesting and I'm glad things are working out for you now.

SiPie

Totally appreciate that Iwan

Good luck

Iwan

Cheers, I'll pass on your good wishes to my 'mate' later.
