Topic: UN: British have the most miserable childhood in the developed world

[The UN report] explicitly demonstrated that, at least on this side of the Atlantic, the British are trailblazers of generational instability and social deterioration. On the whole, British children were more disconnected from their families, with nearly half of 15-year-old boys spending most nights out with friends, compared to just 17 percent of their French counterparts. Forty percent of UK youth had sex before age 15, compared with 15 percent of Polish teens. They drank nearly four times as much as the Italians, and, perhaps most saliently, had the lowest sense of subjective well-being among all the youth surveyed.

especially when they get molested by their older brothers and then they get laser pointers shined in their eyes for telling.

Don't believe all the stereotypes you hear.
It legal to drink in Italy at the age of 16, like the French most teenagers are introduced to alcohol at the dinner table with their parents.
Unlike British teens who's first experience with alcohol is getting pissed at their local park with half a litre of Tesco vodka and then end up banging some fat bird.
Don't worry though some stereotypes are still true, like the Irish, who are still the heaviest drinkers in Europe...

I work for the UN and study Alcohol consumption for the whole of Europe.
I'd share my work, but it's confidential.

Squared is right about this one. That report is extremely biased.
And you can't accuse me of having biases of my own, as I am an American poster and have no loyalty towards Britain whatsoever.

I'm not surprised. People have been brought up to be told that possession of material wealth is the true mark of success, and excessive adverts have caused parents to replace love with toys and gadgets.
And then we wonder why they're kicking in windows to steal trainers and iMacs.
