Recently i read an article about British children being the laziest in the world and would like to share with you. British children are among the laziest in the world, spending the equivalent of half a year of their childhood lives watching television, playing computer games or surfing the internet, a study has claimed. The international survey of 3,500 young people from Britain, the US, Australia, Germany, India, China, Russia and South Africa found that between the ages of seven and 16 British children spent an average of 9.4 hours each week glued to a screen, just behind Australians and significantly more that children in all the other countries surveyed. British children in this age group also spend less than an hour a day being active or doing some form of exercise. The report by the Tesco Sport for Schools and Clubs scheme found that among the ten countries polled, British children were viewed as the seventh "least healthy". What your view over this...
