When I was a child we usually are told to bath on the first rain because it is good for the skin and hair.But nowadays we are advised not to play in the rain because it contain chemicals or just like acid rain. I pity the generation today because they can not indulge the nature has to offer. With all the contaminants in the environment, we do not know which place is safe already.

Hi friend, you are right, during our childhood days we enjoyed a lot of natural beauties, but now a days people are interested in virtual media, most of the kids are interested in playing computer games than the real life sports, in the same way artificial things are increased and we are in need to live in an artificial environment due to the technology advancement. We must be safe and avoid playing in the rain to avoid unwanted issues

Here in the UK we do not worry to much, so all the children all go outside and jump in mud and muddy puddles in their boots. It is really nice to see children having fun, even though they hate being cold as well as wet when they have finished playing outside.

Some time it may be risky because more rain means anything may be happen some time child may be fall. But feel happy to play in rain.

Hello Nita!! What a coincidence I also played in rain when I was a kid but only difference between you and me is I still play in rain if I get a chance...:):):) Its true that nowadays the environment became so polluted that not only playing in rain but also stay outside for very long is a safety issue.But we can't help thinking of all these we can not stop living or enjoying the life. My apologies if anything written makes you offended. Wish you all the best and Happy Mylotting :) Be Happy and Make Happy :):D

When I was younger we got to play in the rain sometimes, but not all the time. It wasn't because of bad stuff in the rain itself, but the fact we could get a cold from being out in the cold damp weather. Even when it was summer and the rain was warm and it was humid, same thing, the same excuse. I think when it comes to chemicals or pollutions in the rain, it depends on the area in which you live. I suppose an area highly populated and with factories to boot, it wouldn't be so safe... But that's not everywhere.

I never really played in the rain all that much when I was a kid. I think I did a few times with no bad effects. There was a time a year or two ago where I had to go get some stuff out of my car. I remember it was raining pretty hard at the time and the rain was pretty cold. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or not but shortly after I came down with a case of bronchitis.

I agree with you. I guess playing or bathing in the rain is not tolerable. It's better if we'll not play or bathe. We have to avoid sicknesses or illnesses that we could get in the rain. We can't afford to get sick. Buying medicine will cost us a lot. Happy myLotting!

My parents do not allow me to play or take bath in the first rain of the season. The reason is the same that you provided in your discussion. After that rain they allow me to play if the rain is heavy. So I am lucky to have played in the rain many times.

Maybe it is really true that bathing in the rain today is pretty harmful. However, I still continue bathing in the rain at the present if I am in our province even at the age of 19 haha. I really love bathing in the rain due to its coldness and unlimited pour. haha
