Re: Neds/Chavs

i'm not sure it all can be based on the environment a child is brought up in, I think it's probably how they are brought up and how their peers have been brought up.

It still amazes me that you have to train and obtain a licence to be able to drive a car or even to disturb barn owls at the nest, yet you can have as many children as you like with no training at all - above how your parents raised you.
If your parents ignored you and your siblings - treated you like you were a pain in the backside and didn't give you boundaries, encouragement, time or attention what chance have you got raising your own kids?

It takes a very special kind of person who can step up and reach out to these kids and actually get through, I can only stand back and applaud and hope that one day I might be able to pass on a little inspiration, fix a little bit of the problem myself.....
