Super Mod (極度の調整器)
Modern day society has changed in the last 10/15 years, and unfortunately, not for the better. When I grew up, my parents worked hard to keep all the bills paid, and when I started secondary education, my thoughts were of the latest game, or going out exploring on my bmx. This continued until I discovered alcohol, and then, my thoughts turned to going out and having a damned good laugh. This then moved on to eyeing up the opposite sex, and shortly after, I met my good lady (now wife) when I was 22. Life continued, jobs, house, etc etc etc...
Looking at society now, it's a different story. Half of the children/teenagers I come across don't even appear to be able to speak properly, yet alone write and spell. Most appear to shuffle around, shoulders slouched, hanging around on corners, looking like neanderthals with loose fitting clothing on. Manners seem to be something long forgotten (what happened to opening the door for a lady?), and the amount of TV programmes I've seen where they moan that 'there's nothing to do' is bordering on ridiculous. So, with a mindset like this, it's no wonder that countless little'uns are born into the world, as they're merely 'finding something to do'.
The UK has become a benefit nation, whereby the benefit route can now be a lifestyle choice for those who wish to choose it. So, if the parents can't be bothered, then it's fairly obvious that this will have an impact on their children. Yes, some people get the breaks, some don't. My Mum had to leave school to bring in income for her family, and she's been brought up well, raised a family, and has worked the remainder of her years until she's decided (just) to retire. So, breaks or no breaks, you can still make the effort and make life work.
I see countless charities/organisations/youth clubs etc set up to help under-privileged children, and I have to say, it annoys me greatly. Having ALL of these institutions only serves to add to the belief that people will get help if they can't get a job. Therefore, what impetus is there for them to succeed on their own backs?
Now, don't get me wrong... I understand that not everyone falls into the above category, but I do believe that the majority of people in the UK fall into this category, or will fall into this category in the future.
There's a lot wrong with this country at the moment, and whilst I know that some teenage families will succeed and nurture their children well, it's all too easy for a good child to be 'brought down' once they start socialising with other children. I have several friends with kids, and I really do worry about them being introduced to other kids who may have a bad influence on them. I myself do not have kids, because with this worry in my mind, I couldn't bring a child into this world with the possibility that they could fall victim to this influence. The only way I'll ever have children is to move from the UK, to somewhere where children can actually be children.
