I haven't seen the vids yet but just going by the HL it didn't help did it?
Many folks blame lack of parenting for our high murder rate, so-called high rate of underage pregnancy <span style="font-style: italic">(which is not proven)</span>, our drug, gun culture and corruption.

Maybe we should loosen the strings a little!

Jamaicans are only one ingredient away from achieving greatness and that ingredient is <span style="font-weight: bold">HOPE</span>! Jamaica, by and large, was set up to fail and it is a crying shame.

Re: Jamaica: The World's Strictest Parents TV

I saw tge program in the UK.... the uk parents were pathtic but I hardly thought the jamaicans covered them selves in glory...and I thought the Jamaicans parents did not develop discpline rather obidence,,, she hid insecurites behind agressiveness so did those other women who humilitse that child..., she took the poor children to dig dutty what function did that serve????? she does not make her living from agriculture why shi want dem fi duh dat???? There is never virtue in suffering or humiliation ..


...Given as Tuffy pointed out our issues of ded men we are hardly in a postion to give parental advise.. how many Jamaicans are raised with their fathers ????

I hope is the same episode I saw...

Re: Jamaica: The World's Strictest Parents TV

i didn't see any agriculture...but maybe i missed that part....

there was a part of it where dem tell the 18 y old guy that he couldn't smoke in their house or out a road...hmmm wonder if him did just trow weh di cigarettes and quit....

all where dem tell him that him couldnt wear him ear rings...all him do is what any other teenager would do ...put it in him pocket and put it on when him gone tru the gate.

Set up by whom or what?

I think we have too much hope and not enough drive to lead the change. We hope that suddenly our corrupt political system will suddenly right itself. We hope that without our intervention, inept Government will in mid-term see the light and become able.
We hope that the Agents of the State will stop murdering our brothers and sisters.
We hope that our brothers and sisters will stop murdering each other.
We hope that bad economic plans will suddenly and inexplicably produce good results.

We hope…..ad infinitum!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Nylah</div><div class="ubbcode-body">but needing to loosen the parenting strings is a form of parenting....... </div></div>Oh I did not say no to “any parenting” or delivered a personal verdict on “parenting”, I was merely extending the argument of strict parenting versus the collective outcome.

As to my personal opinions I feel Jamaicans may be strict parents but only as it pertains to their personal household, they don't care or haven't done the other things necessary to make sure their children are raised in a very strict, caring and nurturing society.

They are practicing what I consider “Bunker-Parenting”, designed to protect and shield their kids from the perceived ills of society rather than to heal society so that their kids can thrive in a world that is safe beyond they their walled compounds, with this formula it is bound to lead to more failures than success.
