BigSqwert Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) When kids actually played games outside and were creative. Now all kids do are either sit in front of a tv, play video games, or go on the computer. No wonder why childhood obesity is high. Go outside and play and make up new games. Our neighborhood was notorious for making up new games. I miss the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, my parents and my friends' parents were never allowed in their houses at any point growing up. Imagine if we were like kids today...

I seriously remember my parents and my friends' parents being pissed at us if we were in the house for 2 hours during our time off from school. Having them tell us to go outside more made me feel like a bum for being outside for only 8-10 hours. Now it's completely acceptable for kids to be inside all day, and then they want a ride to their friend's house two blocks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
