Meh.

Kids need good strong role models in their parents. Too many are growing up watching their parents do nothing but claim benefits and watch TV. I have 2 fantastic kids, one at uni the other definitely going to uni.

Both watched me and my wife work hard for the things we wanted and we kept them away from a certain sort of kid by getting them into various clubs. Wether it be swimming clubs, horse riding, arts etc. The other kids in these clubs will also be the right sorts of kids as they will also be motivated to enjoy themselves and do age appropriate activities. Nothing to do with mobile phones, the internet etc.

I do agree in some areas you are more likely to see 13 year olds out unsupervised late at night, wearing inappropriate clothing, but their parents tend to be either smoking weed all day or start drinking at 11am.
