I totally agree with both Jeep’s and D4D on this one. While there’s no doubt the kids did it a lot tougher back in the day, it sure as Shit doesn’t help the kids of today.

I do think, the kids of today, have life served up to them on a platter.
Not saying its any one persons fault, but kids of today don't go without much.

And that, is where a lot of the problems are.

Lockdowns might be a good time to do some good old history lessons.

I'm fairly old school and quite often find myself using the 'toughen up' and 'back in my day' talk track. Since lockdown I've been riding on Zwift with a group called Knights of Suburbia who are about physical and mental health, with a focus on suicide prevention. The 'just toughen up' talk track actually does more harm than good as people are unwilling to discuss their issues openly for fear of being ridiculed, same goes with the 'back in my day' talk track. I understand for some people this might seem foreign however when you consider the current situation and the increased suicide rate, a different strategy is required than what has worked before. It is quite eye opening to be on a group ride and have people talk through how they were going to end their lives and how a conversation with somebody actually listening to them rather than provide a solution helped. YMMV

Oh 100%, but our society only has itself to blame for that. Let’s face it, is “oldies” don’t get it too tough these days either. I’m heading off to rough it in the bush with my diesel heated camper and hot shower system

This makes me think of the memes and the comment that goes with it.

Came across this map for NSW vaccination rates by suburb / postcode that may be of interest to some. Percentages are not very accurate but it gives you an idea

Unfortunately there will be more and lots of existing support services are over whelmed. Check in with your mates and ask R U OK.

. On the negative side it is going to be hard to unwind the lack of physical activity and getting his head out of a screen and actually talking/playing with his mates again.

I feel your pain. My 15yo son goes to a sports high school and made the NSW side for his chosen sport earlier this year so trained around 10-12 hours a week pre Covid and I can’t even get him to take the dog for a walk. To say he is lazy is an understatement. He completes his school work in 1.5-2.0 hours and spends the rest of his day gaming or in front of a screen watching YouTube or whatever. One saving grace is his school has given permission for him to pick up shifts for his part time job during school hours so that gets him out of the house and conversing face to face with peers etc. I feel for parents working from home with primary school age kids trying to home school.

Victoria records 1438 COVID-19 cases, five deaths

Case numbers hit quadruple figures for the first time - a record for Victoria and less than 200 cases off the nation’s highest ever tally. WE WON!!
 
Heading the right direction ??? how good is lockdown

An emotional NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced her shock departure from the top job following a bombshell announcement the ICAC was looking into her conduct.
