Leading a revolt :borg:
And promptly breaking it :doh:
Well these MOFO's weren't exactly oozing femininity!
Is the Escort clocked on or clocked off?
I actually agreed with that point earlier- when a label is made, it's often misappropriated. Some people will bandy it about as an excuse- it's inevitable.
I fully agree with you that most naughty kids are a product of nurture rather than nature. Be that nurturing poor parenting, or the influence of wider society.
However, my point with the dyslexia goes to show that just because something is "new" it shouldn't automatically be dismissed, should it?
Just because a label may be handed out inappropriately, does it really mean that the condition doesn't exist?
I can see what you're saying Kenty- quite clearly. Just as any non dyslexic can. Dyslexia, you know it, it's that now widley recognised and accepted condition. The one that if you had it as little at 20, 30 years ago- you'd have been labelled as thick.
From what I can see, there are a few different issues going on here.
1) Does ODD exist? IMO, possibly- look past the headlines. It doesn't just mean kids opposing discipline. It works the other way too. I've seen an inteligent teenager give up on something they loved- just because one of their parents was happy with them doing it.
2) Will people use it as an excuse? Absolutely. I believe ADHD exists- but the label is slapped on all too often for the sake of convenience.
3) Have the papers exaggerated/ scandalised a situation? No idea. I've not read it.
4) Has Kenty done what Kenty does best? Jumped to a conclusion/ onto a bandwagon? Rhetorical.
5) Feral. It's Feral. Not Ferel. And while were at it, your other favourite word is spelt "article."
Warm, Wanton and Willing.
It does exist Kentykins, I find myself overwhelmed by it every time you post.
:P
