Very interesting article. I have been lucky with my children so far, my daughters a civil engineer and my son an electrical, panel engineer, he just won the tittle for best apprentice of the year award. My younger two have to stay on at school until they are 18 unless they get an apprenticeship. I don’t think I would like my kids to do NS but I could think of a few lazy teenagers that would benefit.

Terrific topic and write! I think that regardless of what country your in its the same with many children,they have little to no respect.While I agree with Elle it does take common esne to be a good parent I also agree with Ruby,that sometimes it is better to be the parent then friend to your child least they will learn no sense of repect for their elders and it then becomes like a chain reaction.I also think low employment rates sets standards for kids and if they have no dreams or future they have low morality. This was a very interesting read!

It’s only my opinion but I think some old fashioned dicipline is what kids need today. Parents need to take controll and be a parent instead of trying to be a friend to their child. We have too many namby pamby parents. As I said, that’s my personal opinion.

Is the Natios the answer?..perfect parents and perfect children do not exist..every single parent makes mistakes..children misbehave..in my belief..wit and common sense is all it takes to be a good parent..but that’s me

National Service may seem troublesome for some but it is more troublesome without one. I myself spent two and a half years in the army and it really helps a lot in fostering discipline and camaraderie among people of different races and from all walks of life. I believe society benefits as a whole.
