Yeah, you're obviously right John. So is SRS.

Our kids have never been happier. They're not out there sexing it up every single night, they're not out there killing themselves, they're not out there getting stoned out of their heads, they're not out there spewing up their souls on our pavements. They're not carrying weapons into school to protect themselves.

It's ALL to do with parents. Silly me.

And of course, not one of those young girls, who's been having it away with the lads since she was around 10/11/12 years old, would *ever* end up as a prostitute. Not a hope in hell of that ever happening, for she feels really wonderful about herself doesn't she?

But...maybe it was because of the other 12 kids the coroner didn't mention that I was confused. Or maybe it was because I don't always believe that coroners/judges/police/lawyers/teachers are right. Maybe it was the two kids who were my daughter's school colleagues, who killed themselves when they were just 17. Maybe it's the conversations I've heard from so many youngsters, maybe it's the anxiety I hear when they talk to me, about how hopeless they feel, how lost. Maybe it's the games I heard other kids playing with my kids, when they were only 9, games that would take your breath away in horror at what those 9 year old heads were filled with. (my kids heads weren't filled with it, until that moment, when I interceded) Maybe it's because three completely unrelated people have told me at seperate times, in a matter of months, entirely of their own accord, that if they had their time over again, they'd not choose to bring children into this world. Maybe it's because so many young lads see girls these days as nothing more than sex objects and the girls are only too pleased to reinforce that.

Yeah, you're dead right. I'm over-reacting. Time for me to stick my head under the apathy blanket again and realise that this will all just go away of its own accord, and to remember that 'it's someone else's problem' and of course, that it's not really happening in the first place.

And who knows, maybe, just maybe they'll include 'Sex Workers' on the National Curriculum, so our kids can learn all about a new legalised career and maybe decide to get a job themselves in it, where they can make excellent money and feel really good about themselves. After all, they've been doing that kind of 'work' for a very long time, so they're way up in the Job Experience side of things.

Yeah...........so long as a woman's 'career' as a prostitute is legalised and given the politically correct label of 'sex worker' then everything will be OK for her.

Can't imagine why I didn't get that first time round..
