British, US kids the worst off in rich world
Straits times (world)/15/02/07

According to statistics, British and US kids are the worst off in rich world. The measurement is done in accordance to their quality of life, which include the measure of material well being, health, education, relationships, behaviors, risks and their sense of happiness. In Britain, the kids lagged behind in poverty and deprivation, happiness and relationships. While in the US the kids lagged behind in their health and safety. Professionals have also studied the cause and it was due to being from a single parent home and having no or little attention. I guess the grass is always greener on the other end. Even though, these kids may possess material wealth, however, attaining their parent’s affection is something more difficult a task than anyone would have imagine. Such an outcome has also shown that a potential social problem may arise in these countries. At the end of the day, these kids are the future. Hence, If they are not brought up well in all aspects, the effect would be disastrous.
