Children Now Spend Less Time Outside Than The Average Prisoner

The internet.

As much as i love it, it has changed humans.

Communication is all fucked up because they are just text messages. Cant read emotion or context. Instead of kids meeting up at someones house to play video games, they do it online. Parents are lazy and let them do whatever on the internet cuz they will stfu. Theres a number of things the internet has fucked up.

Not going outside was a punishment during my childhood....

My kids was acting a fool one day in the house I sent them outside and they stood around like i chained them to a tree all sad faced and shit. Hurt my soul man

My sis told me her bro in law having a BBQ in the summer with a no electronics rule. All the kids are required to play with each other. My niece and nephew heard that and they were like noooo

I remember every Sunday me and my cousins used to all meet up and grandma's house and play outside til the street lights came on. Almost every week grandma was getting the alcohol/peroxide cause one of us skinned our knee

NIG-GA! That s*** use to hurt like hell.

Standing in front of the screen door, watching your friends outside playing. Then to make it worse, they KNOW you on punishment, so they deliberately chose to play outside in front of YOUR HOUSE. Bastards.

Still remember when my mama keeping me inside, and me looking at a good game of kickball going on in front of our house. Smh.

We ran out in the morning and didn't come back inside until our parents made us at night. The first time my parents gave me a Nokia cell phone I didn't want that shit. All my friends were in the neighborhood anyway and now my parents could keep tabs on me.

Times have changed.

I remember me and my homeboys huddling around a friends bedroom windows on the side of houses keeping them company while they on punishment... Talking to them like they incarcerated.

“how long she say you got?"

I be shocked low-key when I go play ball at the park and there are kids there. We played video games, too, but that was at night after we had been playing outside and shit all day. Niggas used to live on a 10-speed back then and go home and play Super Nintendo and Sega all night. I bet half of these kids don't know how to ride a bike now smh.

Yep skateboards for us but we were out until it got too dark out. Played video games only really when it rained or after the day is done or we were tired from skating for hours. 90% of my good childhood memories are outside not inside.

As an adult, I don't get people who have "fomo" and have to be at everything that happens...

but as a kid I could NOT handle being locked inside or having to do family shit when my friends were out there.

Then you get free finally and they tell you about some amazingly fun shit that I missed out on smh

We used to Ken Griffey Jr all the fireflys on the block with fat hollow bats, soon as the sun started setting.

I'll never see that shit again. Not just cause kids won't go outside, but you'd probably get arrested for animal cruelty too.

Back then we played out all day til we got itchy and shit playing in the grass. And even at night on weekends we out playing hide and go seek now these kids play hide and go to sleep
