a boy walking on the street and calculating something

February 27, 2012 12:47am CST
Yesterday at noon my friend and I went for lunch and saw a little boy about eight or nine walking on the street without raising his head, at the same time, he was calculating something on the exercise book which was flat on his left hand. My friend sighed with emotion, "how tired nowaday kids are!"

Kids nowadays are very different compared during my childhood days. They prefer to play computer games. They don't do much exercise which is bad for their health. I prefer seeing kids playing physical games. That way, they will meet new friends and at the same time they get their body exercised. Happy mylotting!

I agree with you. Parents and teachers should be responsible enough in taking care for the kids. They should know what is good and what is right for these young people. I also get surprised if I see kids playing with easy other. Happy mylotting!

Indeed nowadays kids love computer games, so when I saw the boy doing the exercise on the road, I was so surprised. Still some kids have many exercises to do. It depends on their teacher and parents, also the kids themselves.

What does the child doing? I wonder what is it he is calculating. Is he a nerd or a studying paranormal things, eh? Well, it is true that children nowadays have different kinds of things facing in front of them. The childhoodness has became different far way from me being a child back then. Back those days, we love to play more of running and physical activities which is somehow not usual nowadays. Children do more of computer games and more of techy ones. They tend not to have physical activities which helps our bodies reenergize. Too bad!

Yes, childhood really have that freedom, carefree and happy feeling around them. Not like when you grow old enough, we simply like to bring back the times we ones were free but then life moves on and we have to be more responsible to the things we are facing.

you are right. nowadays children don't do physical activities. I don't know the reason, it's because that they have no conditions or thay prefer computer games or something else to physical games? What you said just recalls my childhood, carefree and happy.

That boy might be a genius or a nerd. It's great that children are like those nbow but i think they might be having a pretty bad time calculating something while walking. It's a matter of multi-tasking. Maybe that kid is a multi-tasker or such and that's good for him. Isn't it nice to know that we can help kids by helping them before they go to school especially with their assignments? To be honest, i think that kid will go far. Well, happy mylotting and have a great day. May you see another kid doing that and try to help him. He he he.

Are you actually for or against that? Like, that kid should be playing some sport or with friends... or what a dedicated kid, he's going to learn a lot!

oh, that moment I was just so surprised to see a boy doing this. Today's social pressure is more high, I think. Competition among youths to enter the best colleges is more intense. So some kids are forced to study hard and hard. I also want to see nowaday kids play with friends as we did when we were kids. What wonderful days! Thanx!
