Is it any wonder?

Our kids can't cope with everyday situations and are getting fatter by the day, and this is the mentality that has gotten them there. People really need to back off their kids lives and let them play. Were we are that screwed up by dodgeball and tag that we're horrible people now? With the advent of video games/computers/iPods and anti-social behavior being nutured, no wonder the kids of today are royally screwed in the " I can relate" department.
Geesh, our heads didn't fall off because we played tag, and maybe fell down and scraped our knee, parents these days coddle their offspring to an extreme point and remove any instance where kids can live a real life, and actually glean character and socal experiences from their child hood when they need it the most. All we are breeding is a generation of assholes, wimps and pussies, who then feel the need to lash out because they can't deal with agression and strife.

Not It! Mass. Elementary School Bans Tag
By Associated Press
ATTLEBORO, Mass. - Tag, you're out! Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned kids from playing tag, touch football and any other unsupervised chase game during recess for fear they'll get hurt and hold the school liable.
Recess is "a time when accidents can happen," said Willett Elementary School Principal Gaylene Heppe, who approved the ban.
While there is no districtwide ban on contact sports during recess, local rules have been cropping up. Several school administrators around Attleboro, a city of about 45,000 residents, took aim at dodgeball a few years ago, saying it was exclusionary and dangerous.
Elementary schools in Cheyenne, Wyo., and Spokane, Wash., also recently banned tag during recess. A suburban Charleston, S.C., school outlawed all unsupervised contact sports.
"I think that it's unfortunate that kids' lives are micromanaged and there are social skills they'll never develop on their own," said Debbie Laferriere, who has two children at Willett, about 40 miles south of Boston. "Playing tag is just part of being a kid."
Another Willett parent, Celeste D'Elia, said her son feels safer because of the rule. "I've witnessed enough near collisions," she said.
