Children being encouraged to engage in sexual practices? Shag bands marketing is just plain wrong., page 1

Shag bands are jelly bracelets that come in a variety of colours. Each colour relates to a sexual practice, ranging from hugs and kisses to full intercourse and oral. If a person snaps someone's "shag band" they have to engage in that sexual act. This is in the marketing on the products themselves. Five year old kids are coming home from school and asking what a "shag" is.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is downright wrong? Whoever came up with this particular way of marketing these bits of tat should be strung up. Kids nowadays lose their innocence all too soon. Do we really need people seeking to make money out of robbing kids of their innocence even sooner?

Maybe I'm getting old, but this just seems so wrong.

a parent can never be over protective nowadays,protecting your children is a naturally built in emotion in humans.im probably what you would call over protecting so sue me for caring.

Yeah. Trying telling me that a parent can't be over protective, and I'll tell you that you're just plain wrong.

I had an over protective parent and it screwed with my social life. She says the same "Sue me for caring" thing.

Believe me, your child will not appreciate it when you start to get over bearing when they just want to go to their friends house and play video games..

Over protection of children is one of the worst things a parent can do for their child.

No matter how much over protection you give, the world will still be the same. No matter how much you try and shelter them and filter their view of the world, one day they will see their reality. No matter how much you try to protect them, some day, you will be gone and they will have to face reality.

Humans in general do not learn from the good times, they learn from the hard times. Adversity is what makes certain people, great people. A child that never learns to cope thanks to an overbearing parent, is more likely to act inappropriately when the same parent is no longer around, and studies have proven that.


But to look at the most easy example of over protection doing FAR MORE harm than good, look at sanitation zealots.

You know the types, the parents that are running around after there kids wiping their hands with sanitation clothes, and spraying harsh chemicals on every surface that their kid will come in contact with.

Ironically, it's these kids who are at a much greater risk of Asthma, and other respiratory illnesses. As well as having a much weaker immune system that cannot suitably protect the child when it enters the real world where mom isn't wiping down every surface they touch.


There exists practically no example that I can think of as I write this, where over protection serves its purpose. In almost every case the over protection of an individual always leads to far worse circumstances than the original situation.

I hope you read my post above. Please do your community a favor and allow a professional to teach your child spelling, grammar and how to logically present a rational conversation.
